Ya, at worst it might mean some kind of agenda, but whatever. Perhaps it's the seasonal lack of sunlight, seasonal stress, or maybe too much Nog, whatever is the cause I hope the OP finds his way through it.
that is a bit inappropriate. they are two separate forums and many people do not look at both forums. people that belong to multiple forums have a right to post in each of them.
I am not saying his topic isn't a bit silly but posting on multiple forums in general should be of no concern or worry to you.
hardOCP is a different forum and there is no rule against cross posting in multiple forums.

I didn't say he was one, I'm just referencing his actions. He's acting like an attention whore.
And you think Nvidia doesn't have their own recurring issues with games?
So if AMD released fewer drivers you'd be happier? Personally, I like the fact that they're releasing fixes as soon as they complete them. It's better than waiting a month or more if there's a particular game or app you want to run (and can't) due to a driver issue.
Better scaling with Crossfire than SLI, higher price/performance ratios, lower power consumption at both idle and while under load.
You're kidding, right? That's an issue worth mentioning?
I update my AMD cards only periodically and haven't had any problems whatsoever. Yes, the 6900 series is new and will probably have more issues and driver updates than older series of cards. But that's normal. Nvidia is going through their own teething stage as well with their GTX 500 series.
And as I said above, I've been running the same AMD driver for months now as well. No issues to speak of.
Pretty clear to whom? From what I've seen, the ratio is pretty much 50-50 between dissatisfied Nvidia and AMD video card owners. Unfortunately, there are some people who keep believing the "ATi/AMD can't make good drivers" rhetoric from experiences people had years ago.
If AMD drivers were honestly that much worse than Nvidia's, don't you think it would have been pointed out during recent reviews?
Maybe it's the numerous hotfixes. It's bad enough to have to install a new driver every month, but every week or more. Didn't a recent driver need 5 hotfixes.
You're probably running the same old driver for months because you know that the newer ones suck. I was forced to use the 10.4-5 drivers for months too, they're great right? lol
What was the last straw.. that AMD released a driver?
Thanks, I know that. What I meant was the rather monumental redacted up of canceling the 6950 delivery when it was only a few miles and one day away.
Not one of my better moments. I feel a little better though. I got to go up with a friend for a short flight over Cook Inlet this morning. It is beautiful here. Cold, but beautiful.
No profanity on the technical forums please.

You have internet there? I see a dish.

What NFSW means? Need for Speed World?

Edit that before you get in trouble. No naked stuff is allowed.
Just a warning for ya.
The 10.12a driver was the straw? Why exactly?
Did this question ever get answered? I'm still trying to understand why the OP cancelled the order in the first place.
Not Safe For Work.
It generally means nudity or outright porn.
Who's yelling? I simply responded to your post.Sounds like a bunch of yelling.
I didn't ignore anything. My first ATi card was a Radeon 9700 and I've mostly purchased ATi ever since. I've had a couple of Nvidia cards thrown in there as well, but mostly ATi/AMD.You totally ignored my ownership of over six AMD cards this year.
No, it doesn't. But the way you were talking, Nvidia drivers are all sunshine and roses while AMD's are nothing but the fertilizer. Which is complete nonsense. Most people have had a good experience with AMD cards and drivers, myself included.This isn't some part of my imagination. I stated my experience and others around the web. Saying Nvidia has problems too doesn't cancel out the habitual problems AMD continue to have.
Oh, I see. So when Nvidia owners keep the same driver for months, it's because they don't need to update them. But when AMD owners keep the same drivers for months, it's only because the newer drivers suck? Nice double standard there.You're probably running the same old driver for months because you know that the newer ones suck.
