From the days of ATI 9800 SE which I've flashed/upgraded to 9800 Pro, it was mainly ATI/AMD for me.
Except for AMD 3000 series, I owned all the generations of ATI/AMD. x800 Pro flashed to x800 XT, x1800 XT, x1950 XT, 2900 Pro, 4850 crossfire, 4870 crossfire, 5850 crossfire, 5870, 6970, 7950 crossfire, 280x crossfire, and now 290. I've owned Nvidia 7800 GT and 770 GTX in between above Radeon cards.
My next target is Fury or Fury X.
It takes more than just couple of frames to convince me to change to green camp.
For me ATI was always better with videos, desktop, TV out etc.
For example Nvidia have just learned how to detect HDMI Monitor correctly, you had to hack the drivers to change to 0-255 range.
And I hate how Nvidia tries to compete only with propriety technology. Influencing game developers to code games based on their technology.
Physx is useless, Gsync expensive only and no advantage over free Free-sync.
As for the drivers, never had an issue with them. Yes, crossfire support for some games were missing sometimes but that would no classify as driver problem for me.
Regarding new game support as The Witcher 3, Project Cars and Batman, I don't bother buying games that are made only for one set of gaming cards.
Nvidia also has problems running their sponsored games at acceptable levels, and even though they tried to make AMD look bad as for example in the new Batman game, their cards are no better than the same price point AMD cards.
