I can’t wait for Intel to step up their game and for AMD to reengage. We really need the competition.

AMD seriously needs to start taking driver support seriously.

Both my dad and myself have (begrudgingly) moved to Nvidia because we both got hit with constant driver timeout crashes. My dad also got rapidly flashing black and green screens countless times. I use my PC for work purposes so that kind of crap is unacceptable; I need absolute reliability that I can depend on.

Myself and so many other customers would love to see better bang-for-buck options in the GPU space like the good old days, but AMD really needs to sort this shit out. Intel has the excuse of being a brand new player that is working entirely from scratch. AMD has been in the GPU game for decades and should know better. I mean, christ, their CPU division is basically printing money right now.

AMD seriously needs to start taking driver support seriously.

That’s been an issue for them in the past, but not recently. Last I heard, the quality of their drivers has improved allot from two generations ago.

I game on an all-AMD Linux (Fedora/KDE) rig, and I haven’t had one crash with any game that I play (via Steam/Proton).

What does that have to do with AMD’s driver support? AMD’s Linux Vulkan driver (AMDVLK) was so late and bad that Red Hat and Valve had to make their own (RADV), which is the default in Fedora and SteamOS. AMD’s first party drivers are still garbage.
