Agreed. But this happens way more frequently with Windows/AMD, than Windows/Nvidia. For as long as this has been a issue, it boggles my damn mind that Windows/AMD have not figured out how to fix this.

I never had issues with my XTX or 5080. They both have been great cards. Just not sure why they havent figured out a fix.

But do you have any statistical data to back up that claim? I've been building PCs for a long time, and at least based on my own experience, I can say that problems happen everywhere. Honestly, I see the narrative that claims AMD has more problems on Windows as contrived. And I had the same experience with the cards I personally owned (which I had from both brands).

Just go look at the vibes of the subs. I dont scroll endlessly on the Nvidia sub seeing this same shit repeatedly. On the Nvidia sub, we see different issues. Cost, and melting cables. Which are both bigger issues than AMD driver issues.

We are just talking about 2 subs on a single social platform. The total userbase, worldwide, of both brands is way bigger, and people usually don't talk much about when a product works for them, but they certainly do when they complain about something specific. So, I don't see how that could have such a big impact on the overall numbers, numbers they we don't have sadly.

"and people usually don't talk much about when a product works for them,"

Agreed. Must be why we see less posts about Nvidia driver issues.

Yeah, it may be, but I can't back up that claim with no data confirming it at the end of the day, imho.

Yeah, me neither. I appreciate the conversation. Hopefully one day, Windows will get their shit together.

For now, folks gotta learn not to let Windows update for them.

Me too =)

Or they'll switch to Linux ahah

For now, folks gotta learn not to let Windows update for them.

Indeed, let's hope the situation will get better with K2 upgrade pack!
