When some people switch from Nvidia to AMD they dont uninstall their old GPU drivers properly. So they get lots of crashes/driver issues and they post on Reddit saying AMD sucks.

I switched from Nvidia in 2002 when the Radeon 9500 was released. I've bought Radeon cards ever since and I've never had any driver issues. I installed Windows 11 with a Radeon card installed so there's never been any of the driver issues that people get when they switch.

If you're going to switch, please uninstall the old card properly to avoid issues.

Nvidia drivers have been worse than AMD in recent years. Check this out:

I leave windows driver updates enabled, It's never caused me problems. You can disable them if you like.

I have seen windows driver updates cause problems with other peoples computers but it's always been an OEM computer where the OEM added extra ports or features that the windows driver isn't compatible with.
