or the people who don't have problems with their drivers aren't nearly as vocal as those that do?
The issue I have with this whole thing, is if you don't think Nvidia has better drivers you are a fan boy, even if you think they are equal, you are still an AMD fanboy.
That a vocal minority is assumed representative of everyone is beyond silly. You know how many people that don't ever use AMD vidcards voted in that poll? How many of them had a Rage Fury MaXX 15 years ago and are still holding a grudge? A poll on a forum isn't reality, no matter how hard the green side needs to push it.
I don't get emotional over my videocards, I don't prefer one side or the other, but I gotta tell you, Nvidia people annoy me way more than ATI people.
Like I said, nearly 7 to 1. Also just because you disagree with their vote, does not make them wrong. Either way you don't have to just take the OPs word for it, that poll backs up why he made the switch. All the people trying to do damage control are only making the situation worse.
I am one of those. I never post.. OMG my card worked great!
Hell I owned at 4870 x2 and never had any issues. I own a 7970 now and still no issues. No lockups. No BSOD's. No artifacts. But I don't post.. "hey! My card is working ok this week". That is silly. Now If I were doing a long term review like Motortrend does with there long term test mules (CTS-V station wagon which cracks me up). Then I would be like... Month #6, 1580 hours of useage.. card has been running on new drivers. No issues. Upgraded yada yada yada...
Perhaps that is what the [H] should do (though new cards come out all the time but a long term review would be sweet )
