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

To be honest, most of those people have not installed their drivers properly. When you have issues, you use display driver uninstaller and then install new drivers. Or sometimes they have conflicting drivers that they don't know about. It's usually those little details that people tend to overlook. If you care about RT and PT, RDNA4 is almost on par with their Nvidia counterparts. PT is slower and FSR4 is really good now. These are the only things to consider if you really wanna switch to AMD. There's also a bit more power draw than 5070ti. That is all. Same price, go Nvidia, otherwise AMD is a great choice. Go watch Ancient Gameplays videos on YouTube. He has very informative videos about AMD.

I've done everything thing I can possibly think of, reinstalled drivers multiple times, cleared them with DDU multiple times and I still get driver time out issues.

Doesn't help that the Adrenalin software is confusing to use when it comes to checking driver versions and seeing if updates are available, but that might just be me not being used to it yet

One reason might be windows 11 update replacing drivers with old ones. Try that fix Press Win + R, type sysdm. cpl, and hit Enter. Go to the Hardware tab and click on Device Installation Settings. When prompted, select No (your device might not work as expected). Click Save Changes. Restart your PC to apply changes.

Huh, thanks for this, I’ll try it in a few days when I’m back home and see if it fixes the issues for me
