| Nice hardware, just drivers are their Achilles heel. But they've been climbing the mountain of improvement while Nvidia languishes in a lack of hardware innovation. Fermi is HOT, LATE, and just not very impressive out of the gate. It lacks Displayport, which isn't everything, but it certainly dates a card as to how long it will last. But back to AMD. Drivers, drivers, drivers. They have to really buckle down and just DO it. No more excuses. You've had a decade now to figure out how to write a good driver. The hardware has varied, and the OS's have varied, but along the way you should have learned how to write them. No more flickering. No more GSOD's. No more failure A lof drivers to correctly install or fail to overrwrite older files. No fancy driver dances should be required to do a successful install. Most of the world considers these things "basics". Only AMD still consider them "wishlist". A lot of improvements are coming. It's time to make them the right way. |
