Why can't AMD make proper drivers? Why do they suffer from such severe overhead?
They only have one architecture to optimise for, while Nvidia is still releasing driver up updates for old shit like gtx260 and doesn't suffer from the same issue.

AMD have made significant progress on that front since then, and any newer Digital Foundry comparison will tell you that. Nice try though, shillfriend. :^)

Much smaller team of people working on the drivers.

As for why, I don't know.

No they're not, you retard. Nvidia only perform optimizations and updates for their very latest architecture. Even Maxwell is dropped now. Bundling old drivers together with the new ones for their old cards is why their driver download is so fucking huge now, but it's worth it for them as gullible retards like you think you're still getting "updates" for your ancient card, when in reality you're just installing the same driver over and over again.
