Nvidia GPU moat has always been their software. Game ready drivers are a big deal for each AAA game launch and they always help to push their fps numbers on reviewers charts. I feel like for 20 years I've been reading people online complain about ATI/AMD drivers and how they want to go back to an Nvidia card the next chance they get.

This hasn't been true for more than a decade at this point, and in fact AMD tends to have the better driver support, especially long term.
Well, you said a decade so I'll take an easy one from 4 years ago.

"Yes, you know all those r/amd and r/nvidia posts about people ditching their RX 5700 XT and switching over to an Nvidia RTX 2070 Super… AMD is reading them and has obviously been jamming them down the throats of its software engineers until they could release a driver patch which addresses the issues Navi users have been experiencing."
