What GDDR6 issue?
You mean the
EVGA quality control issue that is in no way NVIDIA's fault?
Once again, third-party cards, not NVIDIA FEs.
Now, there is some scuttlebutt that this occurs due to these third-parties following NVIDIA's reference design, while the FE cards are overbuilt compared to the reference design. While this is definitely a concern, there's no evidence to back it up and it's honestly more likely that it's due to these third parties making their own cost cuts.
The one that happened all the way back in 2017? And to a handful of cards?
No, I'm not, but what you don't seem to be able to comprehend is the difference in
magnitude. The NVIDIA issues you've listed have occurred in a handful of cards; whereas literally every reviewer who got an AMD 5000, 6000, or 7000-series on launch complained about the drivers. That's before you get to the
multitude of
threads by
end-users complaining about the same thing.
AMD hasn't built up a reputation for bad drivers because of some conspiracy or bias by the tech press. They've built up that reputation because
their drivers are *f**king bad. NVIDIA may not be perfect but in comparison to AMD, has fewer driver issues and
far fewer major
breaking driver issues. That's an indisputable fact.
And I agree completely with you. I hate NVIDIA because they are greedy a**holes who are going backwards by dropping USB-C, I hate AMD because they have taken a page out of NVIDIA's greed playbook and can't figure out how to write proper launch-day and low-load driver, and I hate Intel because after all their hype their GPUs turned out to be even more disappointing than their CPUs, which I would've said was impossible but Raja Koduri says hi.
I'm not trying to sway anything or anyone. I'm trying to hold companies to account for their BS.
Your examples are personal experience, and personal experience is not compelling evidence. That's how the scientific method works.

Some of them hilarious.
