Can we get a QRD on the history of AMD GPUs and why they're always worse than NVIDIA GPUs?
>>
>>106570269
didn't you make this thread earlier?
i figure you would have gotten an answer. maybe take this question to the /pcbg/ thread. it's a place where people learning about how to build a computer can ask questions and get answers from more experienced forum-users!

ATI started making gpu in 1986, a whole decade before nvidia existed. drivers was shit. amd bought it and renamed to radeon and driver is still as shit since. amd will never be able to fix their garbage driver, they had many decade to fix it and they just couldn't do it

ATI was calling their GPUs Radeon before AMD bought them. NVIDIA's drivers are worse now.

I had no problems with AMD drivers. And I use them since ATI days. Maybe during ATI days they were kinda bad but everything was bad back then. Windows 98 and XP was crashing often. It became good with SP2 or SP3. Since Windows 7 crashes are rare. I had few crashes on Windows 10 though, but they were caused by windows updates.

AMD cards were always competitive up until 2017 or so. The RX 480 was a classic but AMD never came out with anything that transformative again, and have very much failed to keep up with NVIDIA's innovations since

>>106570269
windows faggots get their cords cut

>>106570269
ATI had made better graphics cards on occasion
Then AMD bought ATI
They had to borrow money to do this
It is generally regarded as a mistake.
For comparison AMD could have easily bought Nvidia at the time too but Jensen wanted to be CEO of AMD if acquired

>>106570269
AMD was always better until Maxwell. And even that didn't age well.
>>
>>106570269
Their drivers are garbage, anyone telling you otherwise is a coping AMDrone

>>106570331
Drivers are an Nvidia issue these days.

Nvidia has more money to spend on developing GPUs than AMD does, and unlike Intel they never got complacent.
>>
NVIDIA has more than half their staff as software devs. AMD didn't put in that investment so NVIDIA was able to effectively get a monopoly with CUDA.
>>
>>106570269
Nvidia is a software company that uses it's hardware to trap companies into using their proprietary software suite.
AMD is a hardware company that open sources most of their software because they don't have the manpower to maintain it like Nvidia.
>>
NVIDIA is a hardware company that has a stranglehold on enterprise GPUs. To avoid anti monopoly laws they use AMD to make fake worse cards and keep some semblance of competition alive.

This is why I laugh at people who buy AMD GPUs. You're literally buying the fake product that keeps the real product alive
>>
>>106572055
If you've got a low budget you can get more from an AMD card.
>>
>>106570269
AMD boughted and buyed Radeon and then it went to shit
>>
>>106572078
>low budget
you mean under 1000
