Sometimes bad drivers get released, sometimes only some models got worse. Most of the time tho, drivers improves performance. 

What you can do is to roll back to the previous drivers.

Right Click on Start->Device Manager->Display adapters->GPU Model->Driver->Roll Back Driver

 

To be clear, both Nvidia and AMD have a lot of bad drivers, it's not exclusive to AMD, but most of the time AMD is worse since their team are much smaller than Nvidia's.
