Comment on [Gamers Nexus] The RTX 50 Disaster
CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 1 month agoWell I don’t game on Windows, so their Windows drivers could still suck. But I used to on my RX 6800 XT before switching to Linux, and I did not have driver problems with Windows at all.
My son had a 5X00 gen card, and he can’t wait to get away from AMD because of driver issues he’s having all the time, when playing LoL in Windows. I’m having a hard time convincing him to make his next card AMD because of that, even with all of the current Nvidia shenanigans going on. So, I do get where you’re coming from, drivers wise.
But all I can vouch for reliably is that my all AMD rig with a RX 6800 XT card works great, no driver issues/crashes. My biggest headache is sometimes having to select a different version of Proton for when I’m playing a game (thank god for protondb.com).

I dual boot and can confirm the drivers on Windows are perfectly fine (I have a 7800XT). There is still a jank factor with the included gui and you have to stop windows from auto “updating” (actually a downgrade) the graphics drivers because windows sucks ass.

Can confirm. Have been using AMD since the HD5000 series day, always on Windows, never had an issue with the drivers.
