I've always heard how AMD's drivers suck and what not but what are your experiences with them?

Typically it's AMD drivers that suck more cause of support, but lately Nvidia drivers are having problems.........

I never had any problems with AMD drivers having problems, well except that one time when i plugged in my GTX 280 when i still had a AMD driver(not related at all).

I've had a 290 and now a 390 and have never had a problem with their drivers.

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."

Never had any problem at all. Only issue I had was in Skyforge with crossfire enabled. In windows 8.1 it would be enabled but only run on one gpu, while in windows 10, I had to manually disable crossfire for Skyforge. That's all I've ever had issues with in 5-6 years I'm using AMD. Crossfire r9 380 also show very high scores above a single card, in my experiences with games, between 75-90%. When it comes to graphics, AMD is just as good as Nvidia, if not better for the same price. OK they use more power, but you will hardly even notice this unless you are bitcoin mining or folding 24/7.

 

Edit: The Windows 10 driver (CCC 15.7.1) works absolutely flawless.
