I belive this video speaks for itself, but was this really necessary AMD? was it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH6XayaLTw8

Summray: Amd is the better choice for gamers on PC and consoles alike, while NV can have the mobile market.

They've screwed up every new driver for almost a year at this point. 306.97 was the last stable, smooth driver for BF3. Every single one since has had issues. Although none of the previous releasing were frying GPU's like the current driver, lol.

yeah that was the issue.  The 8 series.  They were in macbooks as well.  And basically the only fix was to replace it with a new one that would eventually fail too

I never had a 8 series card from Nvidia, that said I do have a 8800GS but I've never tested it :P Nvidia's nForce chipsets were quite poor.

And AMD is now too. Ever since Never Settle started they've been doing much better in their desktop graphics sales. Not to mention that ALL of the new consoles have AMD hardware.

If the next line of AMD cards can sock it to Nvidia then I'll go with them, until then Nvidia offers more value for money.

I don't know, seems like the 7970 Ghz edition was the better card this gen.

But still, I believe, Nvidia will be playing catching up next gen. Multiplats will get a special treatment for AMD hardware next gen.

I never overexaggerate driver issues. In truth I haven't had any real problems with recent drivers other than with BF3. For some reason its been difficult for them to get smooth performance in BF3. Its not game-breaking by any means, bu 306.97 was extremely smooth so the slight stutter since then is noticeable. However I do get a bug with the newest drivers where the textures in BF3 start turning pink and all sorts of different colors, and sometimes the screen goes black and does a kaleidascope type thing. There are users reporting the newest driver has caused their GPUs to fail. How many of those are just due to coincidence or randomness I don't know, but its been reportable at numerous sites. I do agree that a lot of people overexaggerate driver issues, but this time I do really think its a bad driver.

It seems to have issues mainly with BF3, and supposedly it fried some fermi cards. I know that with 320.18 I got bad artifacting about 15 minutes into any game of Bf3.
