    Maybe you should stop being an ass and consider that when the product/brand has worked for MANY people, maybe the issue is you


  • Sounds like they probably last used AMD devices shortly after the ATI acquisition, and yeah for awhile the drivers were absolutely shyte (as they were with ATI).

I got a 6900XT early when they came out and drivers were a bit finicky for maybe the first 1-2mo. I think I had to manually download the firmware files to get it running. However, I’ve had the same issues - or worse - with other vendors in that regard.

    Apart from that, then anything in the last half decade shouldn’t require any driver installs and minimum to no tinkering. It’s all
