I've had very few problems ... none with games and I'm still using 780's. I'm sure issues may occur depending on pc components/software but nothing out of the ordinary. Nvidia is also on a different driver release schedule and people will not find as many betas as a year ago.
AMD: Speculation, Rumors, and Discussion (Archive)

Maybe, 90% of the gamers forums aimed at " hardware" use more exotic system than you, forums as guru3D as for an example .... or play the latest game immediately, or maybe they are more difficult than you, who know... More seriously, you have just to go watch the gaming and Nvidia drivers forums, ( including the "Nvidia sites one ".. i mean.. no discussion is possible there .. There's hundred of threads in every sites and forums about the diving of the Nvidia drivers quality .. ( Suddenly i see that i post this on an AMD thread, that was not realy my attention to defend AMD one, but i was just resond to a post )

Possibly ... I play all latest games that suit my taste and have had no issues. Except for my graphics cards (which I'm totally happy with), I'm pretty sure in those forums less than 10% have systems better than what I use. I'm sure you realize 100 gamers having problems no matter what game they play is more related to issues beyond drivers ...
It has. The problem is the game engines are at the same time going away from being anywhere near multiGPU friendly with all the temporal effects and what not. Mantle/DX12/Vulkan provide solutions for that, but require efforts by the devs
RX 480 / Polaris 10 is actually D00x
I ask me when i read this, why Nvidia or AMD take the time to release new drivers for fix bugs, ( if you have not had any issues ), with games .. or do you mean, no issue who was bother you , performance or other .Sorry, but this type of "words" who allways make me smile ..
But, well... 5h here, time for sleep i think.
No, it doesn't work at all either, just like CF, to the best of my knowledge anyway.
Which is strange, because, you know, it shouldn't be so fraggin hard to blit a surface to the desktop alternatingly from either graphics card.
And NV driver nightmares have rather passed me by I'm afraid - I've been running Radeons for nearly two and a half years by now. Thanks for the heads-up tho.
This is a good point but also needs to be balanced by the background of the reviewer/site involved, and this can help to do it slightly cheaper and have deep knowledge on how to set this up to be validated.
Case in point look at Allyn Malventano's background who works at PcPer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/malventano
Electronics Nuclear Technician, and also electronics engineer in the Navy.
Tom's Hardware, well they were using the right scopes and probes (adds up to near $20k) and with the assistance/training from the manufacturer (I have used Rhode & Shwarz and they are very good/reputable) as Tom's Hardware says:
So it is fair to say both of these publications were approaching this correctly, and within margins that their measurements should be taken seriously by AMD.

Blaming or casting suspicion on the messenger is often a great indicator of guilt...
It's usually a much better strategy to fess up immediately when fucking up, then promptly and effectively deal with any negative fallout; that builds trust. Dodging and denying erodes trust.

Still intrigues me the variation of performance per watt on Polaris SKUs. RX 480 having power problems to reach GTX 980 performance, RX 470 promising 2,7x performance per watt over some 28nm GCN GPU, and a 35w P11 SKU having 2,8x the performance per watt over the R9 M280X. If they are having some trouble on fabbing high performance parts on GF14LPP will be a nice challenge to engineers to solve it.
Myself i think that they will fab the lower volume, higher performance Vega chips on TSMC.
And the guys at AT got a ashes of singularity bench of a RX 470: http://www.ashesofthesingularity.co...-details/c4f20d31-5c68-4047-973c-d67c3b8fec7c

In all fairness, fessing up and fixing it is pretty much what AMD did.
I know the fix may still be borderline violating, but for the most part, the controversy is a thing of the past now. Time to move on to the next hot topic.

I'm still curious how this happened in the first place. Shouldn't it have been caught in QA or further back in the engineering chain? It kind of shakes my faith in AMD's engineering team.
