AMD drivers are crap though, it's not an old joke it's current, for the last 6months AMD drivers are riddle with driver timeout ( Timeout Detection and Recovery ), chrome hw acceleration not working, bsod, black screen etc ... really that bad.

Truth is to have good drivers you need a lot of people and $$$, Nvidia has the upper hand on that.
- dv_dt 4y agoAMD drivers on Linux have been getting better. Though don’t I run a bleeding edge card …
- pizza234 4y agoYMMV! As an non-power, graphics-wise, Linux user (that is, no 3d), my experience has been better with AMD than Nvidia (owned multiple Nvidia cards and a modern AMD one). In daily usage, I think I've found one issue with the AMD card, and a couple with the Nvidia card. What's worrying is that when filing bugs while using an Nvidia card, devs both times gave the pseudo-automated answer "we can't solve that, Nvidia drivers are closed source", which was wrong in one case. In Windows, I've used all the cards for gaming only, and never had any issues.
- yamazakiwi 4y agoAgreed that YMMV, I have heard about these issues in that reddit thread about NVIDIA cards as well and have experienced the hardware acceleration bug for example.
