    No, it's not xD 

     

    When Doom came out did AMD nerf their cards by not having drivers? Or how about AMD not supporting the version of Open GL that has given Nvidia the edge in Doom? 

     

    I've owned both remember. When games ran like ass and I had AMD I heard the same thing over and over again. Wait for the driver. And when the driver sucked, it was wait for the next one. Months of waiting if I was lucky to have a game perform properly. So was AMD gimping my 390? 

    lol k

    That's not nerfing though, learn the term. The driver would have to lower the performance of the card for it to be nerfing. My Vapor X burnt up in my rig because AMD shipped a driver after the 390 launched that stuck the fan speed at 20%. Was AMD trying to kill my 290 so that I'd get a 390? No xD They made a mistake, people make those from time to time. Things get randomly disabled with drivers, once the problem is found its fixed. 

    Not supporting them with new drivers so that they don't perform as well in new games as they otherwise could is a form of nerfing, even if it's isn't intentional.

    That is just an urban legend. Nvidia does not nerf their own cards, that would be stupid. They do drop off support but so does AMD. People think otherwise because AMD has been running the same architecture for years, they've just rebranded it. Watch what happens to Hawaii and the Furys now that Polaris is here. Nothing AMD should feel bad about, drivers cost money. 

    That's why my post said nerf them in driver support not nerf them with drivers.
