If only I could find people complaining about Nvidia drivers online....

Let me help you;

WARNING! NVIDIA 196.75 drivers can kill your graphics card

I'm getting a steady stream of reports in from NVIDIA users that the latest 196.75 drivers can cause severe cooling problems, even possibly resulting in the death of the hardware.

NVIDIA's latest driver release, 364.72 apparently is plagued with issues and apparently has even been killing gamer's GPUs! Reports of issues with this specific driver have been all over the GeForce Forums, Reddit, and many other forums.

Here's a very recent one;

AMD's issues are always blown out of proportion, and nVidia's are swept under the rug.

You do know 8-Pin exists right...?

Is this your first Unknown Soldier post?

Everytime AMD brings the heat, you have Nvidia fans coming up with excuses...….

570 > 1050/1650 (Oh Ohhh, I'd rather have lower power draw for 50% less performance, my current bill means everything to me, more stable drivers)

580 > 1060 (Oh 3-6GB is enough, why would you want 8GB on 1080P card, those stable drivers though)

Vega 56 > 1070 (Ohhh that powerdraw, such a hot card, that blower fan dude, I can't hear when I game, AMD drivers are a joke)

Then the odd hypocritical, (try to insult your intelligence post) "I wish AMD would bring some competition, Nvidia is the only player in town, it's not even a contest...." Come on AMD do something....

New Gen

5700 > 2060/S (Too little too late, Turing was here first, it has RTX, Nvidia drivers are teh best)….

5700XT > 2070 or = 2070s ( I'd rather spend the extra $100 for RTX (for the 4 games), Nvidia drivers Dawg...)


Oh come on AMD, where is the 2080ti competitor?

AMD prepares RDNA 2.0 to compete with Ampere and the 2080ti...…(24GB HBM, AMD went after expensive HBM again? Who needs all that Vram, 2TB bandwidth? Reminds me of Radeon 7 with it's 1TB that went un-utilized, Ampere is bringing 50% more performance over Turing, it will crush this...R.I.P AMD, Dawg Lisa should just close RTG and focus on Ryzen…..Ryzen is a good product seen...)


Person who says all that is most probably gaming on a i3 skylake processor with a 1050ti...…...


Hear this, no matter what AMD does, no matter how much RDNA 2.0 slays, you will hear excuses out the woodwork......Hell even before the product has been demoed, the excuses have already began......

How is this still a thing? AMD drivers have been fine for awhile.

Eh no, they this have massive issues. Google the AMD black screen video bug for instance.

A known issue, they've acknowledged, provided a workaround for (which may or may not work) and are working on.

Now go and google known issues for Nvidia and you'll find page upon page with results of people with problems. If you find Nvidia acknowledging any of them, let me know.

When I tell you I died laughing reading the bolded part, lmao! I agree. I don't understand fanboys or either side though. Competition is better for us, the consumer no matter which side you choose. I'm hoping RDNA 2.0 is as beastly as it sounds. Amphere as well! Late 2020 about to be a missile!

Sure, workaround is the disable HWA video decoding in browsers, but that's not really a viable solution. We get a LOT of support requests on this as a browser manufacturer.

I also get plenty of support requests I shouldn't have to deal with, but that's the price you pay when dealing with the IT challenged that can't be arsed to think, look, listen, show any sign of any semblance of intelligence.
