I've been using ATI/AMD video cards for as long as I can remember. Currently, I use 2 6850's in xfire and I am so fed up with the driver issues that it seems like I spend more time troubleshooting my games than actually playing them. The latest drivers broke WoW for me to the point that I get artifacts all over the screen. I get bad micro stuttering in SWTOR and BF3, not to mention constant crashing and BSOD. The manual fan speed setting in CCC does not work no matter what I have it set to.
So today, I found a used EVGA 580 for $279 and I bought it. Should be here in a couple of days. I'll sell my 6850's and be done with AMD. It's a shame really. AMD has such a brilliant hardware design for the 79xx series of cards but such crap drivers. So for now, I'll see what life is like on this side of the pond...
