Another untrue not possible to verify claim that you spread. We can't cling to individual's opinions. A handful of people had a problem and suddenly it becomes a fact and a major problem.
It isn't.
Never said it's a major problem. But if you check forums it's a common theme,, people going from nvidia to amd have issues, people going from amd to nvidia do not. Just yesterday i read that happening to 2 people in ocuk.

Im not saying nvvidia doesn't have driver issues, I had black screen on my 3090 myself, but the thing is, they lasted 3 days until a new driver came out and fixed it.

You don't have to say ' it is a major problem' for a reader to understand your context and where are you going with this giving your arguments. We are not monkeys but people and we think so human behavior is not something we strive to understand. Your arguments do not speak for, 'it is not a problem' but rather go with 'the major problem' just like you have used 'constantly crash' in your statement about the drivers. These two are very similar here. Huge stretch with facts brought by few people hard to verify and statistically speaking, 0.001% people have. On forum (where people want help so post issues) may look like it is major but it isn't.
I'm not saying NV or AMD has a problem since it is literally irrelevant to this conversation at this point and yet you still cling to it, twist words and come back to the same conclusion which several people here have told you already, it is irrelevant, can't be verified and with this it is not a fact but a huge stretch that cannot be accounted for. Meaning, drop it.
You know what you call a person who does things and thinks exactly in the same way over and over and expects different result? Insane or crazy or delusional. You can pick which one is mostly close to you.

That instead of buying the best value card of this generation (at least until now), the 4070ti, you won't cause it's made by a specific brand you don't like for whatever reason

rather than just saying AMD has driver issues, I'll post this:

My AMD PCs have horrible reliability, and crash on the daily, as you can see above.

It's strange to me how the line is drawn with hating nvidia, when AMD does similar anti consumer things but people find that (moving) level the acceptable level.

I see it like this, imagine nvidia, Intel and AMD are people. Nvidia and Intel break into your house while you're away and steal a bunch of stuff, later that same night, AMD gets the same idea and jumps in but now there's less to steal and they don't have as many pockets to carry stuff anyway. All 3 get caught, all 3 are guilty of the same crime, but to slightly different extents due to factors like getting there later and having less pockets.

I see them all as guilty that's for sure, and hate the anti-consumer stuff that all 3 do(and happily agree and call out any conpany doing it) but I'm torn because I love pc gaming, so I put the 'crime' aside and just look at the products, I'm not going to go easy on the least worst one just because they got there late and took less stuff.

Its not even that, this time around people complaining about nvidias prices when in fact the 4070ti is the card with the best value out of all the new cards

Oh it's definitely also that, drawing the line exactly where one company is is daft to me.

But of course that's also correct, so far, it's the best value, quantifiably. But like usual, for anyone that owns previous gen high end, a 4070ti or 7900xt make very little sense, but the 7900xt makes the least.

That is not and never will be an argument. I can call you an amd shill, so what? Do you actually disagree with what was said? Isn't the 4070ti the best value card out of all the new ones?

Aah more fud ?, isn't this a gaming card ?, wtf has blender or any thing none gaming have to do with it.

Hate to think how many people would cry about a a card that did not work in 3DMark but ran games really well. and lets face it still hit 3.4GHz, this is a GPU their catching up with CPU's lmao. Shame that it cannot do the same with games which is were it would actually matter.

As for 8 pin connectors i have never had a issue with them on any card regardless of how many times i have plugged and unplugged them and on some cards i have unplugged then 50+ times without issue.

Because these are benchmarks and even though irrelevant to what the card was made for, some people would still be mad or even use it as an argument.
The 7900XTX is a good card but I feel the price is still to high. It is better than other offerings but still a bit too high.
