Well... It's AMD. Did you really believe what they promised? How many times have they lied and played the hype game just to deliver garbage?

>AMD is keeping nvidia on their toes, and for nothing other than that, we should support them.

It's cheaper. Yep. But worse. Worse than Intel, worse than nVidia. And what's even worse is that, for example in GPUs, you can see they sell not-so-bad hardware coupled with horrible, abhorrent drivers. It's really pathetic. AMD never again, at least for me.

Horribly unguided comment. The Zen architecture outperforms Intel at smiliar or lower TDPs. Their drivers have aren't top notch but after a month or two the drivers are stable and performance is better than ever.

Additionally if you think RX Vega is "garbage" you're a bit of a clown. Only because it doesn't outperform the fastest GPU in the world does not mean it's garbage.

I'll add that the drivers (on all platforms) have really turned around in the last few years - for the better. Crossfire support is still terrible compared to SLI, but that is a small demographic.
