Why are AMD drivers so bad.

INB4 "I-It's because you use Windows". Literally all my other drivers work fine, it's AMD. Why can't they code proper drivers /g/?

Drivers work.

Literally that easy. If I'm not in safe mode it usually won't install.

I get the same problem with my HD 5870. Happens once every couple of weeks.
Driver crashes, brown screen, recovers.

This procedure has worked for me with 4970, 6970, and 290. Across win xp, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10.

My x300 would install perfectly on win2k too. Don't know why or how people have issues.

That's not easy, and I'm sure you needed to align a pattern of candles on the floor with the graphics card in the middle.

Windows 10 is a piece of shit about GPU drivers, or at least AMD ones. I used it with 3 different GPUs, an R7 240, an R7 250x, and the last time an R7 360. All of those times I had a metric fuckton of GPU-related crashes and if I went back to 7 or even 8.1, there were none at all.

either you are retarded, or amd has really gone downhill.

I knew it.

As soon as I clicked OP's thumbnail I knew this thread would be full of two things. Trapfags asking for source and butthurt AMD fanboys.

This is basically how /g/ works.

>Take something flawed
>Post how flawed it is on /g/
>/g/ blames the user

They do the same thing with Linux and Android. Especially with Linux.

>Newfag starts a thread
>"H-Hey /g/ I'm having trouble with Windows"
>"Install Linux retard"
>OP comes back a week later
>"/g/ said to install Linux and now my Ubuntu's audio won"t work
>"Th-That's because you installed Ubuntu retard! Install Arch"
>Rinse repeat

Don't get me wrong, both Linux and Android are fine, but both have their shortcomings. AMD is no different. Nvidia is far from perfect, but at least their drivers actually work.

AMD is a great budget option, their drivers suck dick though. If it was a slight occurrence I'd agree that OP is retarded, but everyone I know who owns an AMD card has had drivers issues at some point.

Just spend the $250 and get a 1060 dude.

They work better for more people than AMD drivers.
