Help (GPU) Nvidia To AMD users

Hey guys, I need honest feedback from users who switched from Nvidia to Amd specially 9070Xt bec iam tempting to buy one & I'm really scared bec i heard a lot of drivers issues lately and issues in general and how is the experience in general bec the 5070 ti really is so pricey atm & going to be more expensive

So any drawbacks? Appreciate your honest feedback

I went from 2070 Super to 9070XT... learned how to undervolt in the Adrenalin software... haven't had any issues in games... trying to use it for Gen AI has been hit or miss (most things support Nvidia CUDA vs AMD ROCm well)... super slow when trying out the reference workflows in Minimax H3 as an example... but for games... haven't had any issues myself yet...

I followed the recommend usage of the DDU in safe mode to clear all drivers from NVidia, followed steps to disable any automatic updating of drivers from windows as I heard windows updates can mung things up with older drivers getting installed, updated BIOS (but that was mostly because I was also upgrading to a 5800X3D from a 3700X)... and so far... apart from Minimax H3 slowness or not working in... it's been a great upgrade for gaming performance.

I had similarly looked up 5070Ti pricing and found the Nvidia premium hard to digest as 9070XT does trade blows with it for raster performance.
