The annoying part is their drivers are stable....sometimes.
Its an endless game of seeing if any specific version is broken in a way that annoys you and rolling back if you find an issue.
Not exactly a premium experience.
Even on Linux where their drivers are supposed to be better, my 7900XTX has been crashing randomly for at least a month and it was only fixed in the latest 6.10.9 kernel release yesterday.
Yeah I've heard the 'AMD drivers are better!' thing for Linux and have always been confused since I've had no issues with nVidia cards on Linux or Windows related to driver issues.
AMD stuff on the other hand, has been a mess non stop, except for my ROG Ally for some reason which is fine?
In short: computers suck and are unpredictable, or something.
Yeah, this too. My dad's last GPU was AMD and he had to flip flop between versions to fix crashes. I wasn't as lucky as no driver version was able to calm the crashing.
