The drivers have been fine for years now, anyone using a current or previous gen knows it, the only reason people think they are still bad is because people are still parroting it.

As of 2 years ago, which saw similar “the drivers are fine now and have been for a couple generations”, they are anecdotally not okay.

Way more crashes. Way more weird bullshit (like audio disappearing????) that just doesn’t happen when you run an Nvidia card.

“AMD drivers are fine now” has lost all meaning. I will continue to give them a chance now and again, but it’s based on keeping competitive up, not on the drivers being good now.

Unfortunately this isn't true. They're certainly better than what they used to be, but they are no where near as reliable as Nvidia's. We tried a build out roughly 6 months ago and we couldn't switch back fast enough.

Are you talking about windows GPU drivers for gaming? I haven't had problems on Linux in a long time and I am honestly surprised with how many hours I have spent gaming on Linux with Proton.
