The need for good drivers was something NVidia 'figured out' really early on in the game. Oddly, while I agree that ATI/AMD's 3d drivers have ranged from 'ok'

The need for good drivers was something NVidia 'figured out' really early on in the game. Oddly, while I agree that ATI/AMD's 3d drivers have ranged from 'ok' to 'dumpster fire', I remember a time when their AIO (i.e. VIVO/Tuner/3d) boards just plain worked (aside from not very good 3d performance.) Perhaps their driver team couldn't adapt.
