Some people seem to defend the Red out of wariness of the price sharking Green. See, AMD had historical driver issues since it was ATI for a couple of decades now. It had issues when it was as big as the Green. It still has driver issue in my non gaming laptop for normal usage. So there is no excuse for it, being smaller and all. I cannot agree more to this comment. Maybe Lisa can pull it off. I really hope she does.

Nvidia had detonator which burned up cards, so Nvidia has plenty more history of drivers being buggy.

Never head of that before (drivers causing burned cards), but assuming it's true, it's just one mishap. It doesn't translate into a "history of drivers being buggy".

No mention of a burned card except in the title. The article just says they were running hot.

Any they do have history. Remember Vista as example ?

Vista introduced WDDM, everybody has driver issues back then. Apparently WDDM was finalized very shortly before Vista's relese (like 3 months before, iirc) and many manufacturers were able to deliver on time with good quality.
