Posted May 20, 2016 Basically exactly what the title says. Should I get an R9 390/x or wait a month for the GTX 1070. Knowing that Nvidia has terrible drivers and AMD has good drivers. Power consumption is not an issue, I just want a GPU with the best FPS per dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they have better drivers considering they have a higher market share and they have gameworks so they are closer to developers than AMD is.

My friend always has a lot of good news in regards to terrible drivers on the green side. Then, I have used them and they are not very noob friendly/user friendly in that case Gameworks has got nothing to do with anything, in my opinion, it should be called gimpworks. Also, higher market share means nothing. AMD have godly drivers which are easy to navigate and easy to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 20, 2016 dude the 390x is a monster. But if you could swing it I would recommend a fury or nano for around 500ish. At the same time the 1070 is also going to be a monster, with the one benefit being only a 150 watt tdp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give an extremely slight edge to Nvidia. Do yourself and everyone around you a favor and ether get a 390x or wait for Polaris 10. You're biased so no matter what Nvidia does you'll blame any and every problem you have on them, which is not going to give you a very good experience. If anyone asks you never saw me.

I have not said a thing about the actual graphics cards (which I'll have you know that I wanted to get the GTX 1080). I have only said stuff about drivers.

I would get a 390x in like 3 weeks as the used ones will hit the market and price drops will happen.

Posted May 20, 2016 What's funny is I've had two friends who thought they had driver issues, and it turned out to be a windows update. One AMD and one Nvidia. If anyone asks you never saw me.

Posted May 20, 2016 Just because one of your friends has this problem doesnt mean it drivers fault ... there are plenty of people out there including me who has no problem with drivers by AMD or Nvidia. In most cause Nvida drivers are more optimizes for new game releases compare to AMD. Your statement is really basis and has little to no evidence .. 1 hour ago, SSL said: Don't expect not to get challenged for such obviously biased statements. Magical Pineapples
