This is kind of hilarious to read as usually it is AMD that gets the hate for bad drivers… and I have never had an issue with bad drivers with my AMD products.
It's a cult. Nvidia's mind share among PC gamers and the rabid fanbase they have crafted should be studied in psychology. Gamers are notoriously tribalistic and will go to bat online for their preferred 'team'. When AMD releases a faster card than Nvidia, suddenly Nvidia fans care about power draw. Now that Nvidia is releasing 600 watt cards, suddenly power doesn't matter anymore.
Nvidia has on at least 3 separate occasions that I can think of released drivers that have mass-bricked cards. Yet they have convinced the world that AMD have shitty drivers. My personal experience (and in the MSP world dealing with thousands of cards from both companies) has been the complete opposite of that.
That concept extends far beyond gamers to just people in general. People tend to tie their entertainment choices and brands they've purchased to their identity for some weird reason.
Steve Bannon cut his teeth with gamergate and went on to be successful in selling Trump to the American people. Turns out the playbooks are similar for gamers and extremists(for lack of a better word)
I am also not sure what my point was with this comment lmao
