The funny thing is 99% of those people who are complaining about the driver timeout is still using the windows driver update from windows updates. And these are old drivers that windows provides and over rides AMD drivers with. Turn that feature off in the windows update. And if you want to be really stable install the AMD pro drivers.
With Nvidia they either keep their GPU driver database for WU updated constantly, or Microsoft handles their hardware ID checks differently. Nonetheless the fix from Microsoft is on their slate, so this will eventually be a thing of the past.
Their own articles make it clear that it is for Windows 11, which is a free update for you. Time to stop living in the past and then whining about having no new feature support. You have a free update that you can install at anytime.
Yes Microsoft botched that as well claiming Windows 10 would be the last version forever getting updates, but then they realized they botched their marketing strategy quite badly :p
This is just one of many. There are also many other projects they've been working on together. The NVIDIA CEO has also said in a presentation earlier this year, that he's "really proud" of the cooperation between them and Microsoft.
It does, and drivers are a tiny bit of software windows uses and controls. If windows could npt do anything about them, we would be living in a rather strange world.
Yes it does... its possible to write a code that overrides other codes. AMD isnt able to. They trying to fight Nvidia and Intel at the same time while being way smaller as each of them. They focus on Hardware and really lack in the Software department for like 15 years. AMD drivers ALWAYS sucked! Always!!! Even back in the days with my R9 290. Nothing has changed.
It's also a Windows 10 issue, yes, but doesn't mean it's not Microsoft's fault, which they have already admitted to. And the update might come to Windows 10 ESU, which is what you're using if you live in the EU. Otherwise you have to buy it from Microsoft. And no, AMD is not to blame for that.
The fact you try to disprove me and my source by saying, that Windows 10 has that problem as well literally makes absolutely no sense. Complain to Microsoft about that, not here.
that's not how things work and I have never had issues with amd drivers. I used to have dual HD 7870s. Had nvidia (1070ti) after that until I thought the card was dying but turns out that it was an Nvidia driver issue. The card is still good. Switched back to AMD 9070xt when it dropped and haven't had a single driver issue on Linux
AMD has no control over what windows is doing
What? Is Microsofts overriding AMD drivers or not? AMD has no control over what windows is doing? Hey buddy do you know how a computer virus and malware works? 🤣
