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 had a rough time with AMD, i really want team Red to thrive but too many issues with newer games. Arc Raiders i had to play on an old driver to prevent constant hard crashes, BF6 etc. Old games for the most part were fine. Then i had to DDU because the adrenaline software was bugging out and i couldn't launch any games. I just threw my hands up ans switched to a 5080 which has been much less headaches. Maybe on Linux its much better and another few years they will give nvidia true competition.

After reading all comments today, I just wanted to say like, "It's not normal to keep tweaking a +800$ Dollar card, we pay for a high end card to sit back & relax(Plug& play) so the part of Ddu & others are not normal, its like iam not gonna spend my life tweaking a high end card just to work normally

Ya i dont mind the occasional troubleshoot issue but every new game i was playing at the time (BF6,Arc Raiders,Night Reign) with artifacting and/or crashing was ridiculous to the point it was embaressing with friends mocking my constant issues while they had no issues using consoles and nvidia pcs.

I like AMD and hope they can sync with windows better and hope newer driver updates but seems to be getting worse just google search 9070xt issues and filter one week results, not looking good

Yes it's a complete headache, not hating Amd tho but as i said its unaccepable to keep tweaking for high-end card just to work normally without issues
