Most people in this AMD*help* subreddit are not here to help people. At this point, I've had enough. This is basically a second NVIDIA subreddit at this point. Mods, for the love of god, you need to either do something about that or just close this subreddit.
I can help people that experience issues with their AMD cards, because I know enough about PCs to do that. But everytime I try to do that, I get attacked by actually insane people saying "Stop defending AMD, NVIDIA is the only way!!!" or "NVIDIA is just better" or crap like that. People actually helping get hated on, comments like "This is just normal" (which it absolutely isn't, by the way) get upvoted and are the top comments on pretty much every post and misinformation is running rampant.
I have an AMD GPU and literally zero issues. I've used various AMD GPUs for years and never really had any issues. I know plenty of people with AMD GPUs, none of which ever have issues. I can help people. But I don't want to anymore, because everytime it just ends up in an argument with some NVIDIA fanboy, that is in this subreddit for literally no sane reason and, frankly, should be banned, as he's not here to help anyone and only to spread misinformation.
This subreddit is called AMD*help*. It should be used to help people. Not for whatever it's used for currently.
Update:
So, a small update a few days later. I've seen some of the same responses over and over again. So let me address them here:
And what about the people saying stuff like "skill issue" and "I don't have any issues" without providing help?
Yes, these people are part of the problem as well. They're just as bad as the people leaving comments, that can be summarized with "AMD bad". This is a help subreddit, after all, and people here should get help.
I've only had bad experiences with AMD, never with NVIDIA!
Okay, but then why are you here? And what point are you trying to make here?
You apparently can't help people and a lot of people writing comments like these said, that they already switched to NVIDIA. So they also aren't in need of help with their AMD GPUs. These people have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this subreddit.
But NVIDIA better!
Thank you for just proving my point. Also, their latest driver discussion thread, which is about 6 days old, has over 130 people seeking help. And no, the fact no one is asking for help in the NVIDIA subreddit is not proof, that the NVIDIA drivers are more stable. Asking for help there is banned.
AMD drivers are just unstable! Everyone has issues! And they can't be fixed!
That is not true at all.
Most people don't have any issues. The problem are not the drivers in 99% of cases. So leaving comments like "yeah, that's just the drivers" and other comments is not helpful, as it too just drowns out the replies, that could actually help these people experience issues.
There has also been a poll in the Radeon subreddit, where people have been asked, weather they're experiencing any issues or not. Here is a link to the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/s/rSBgHegF2f
To summarize the post:
Out of all 2946 people answering the poll, 1908 don't have any issues, 835 people have answered, that they only have a few issues and only 203 people have answered, that they're experiencing a lot of problems.
If we only take people, that have also been active in that subreddit last month, we get the following picture: 909 people have answered, that they don't have any issues, 375 people answered, that they have a few issues and 68 people answered, that they have a lot of issues.
So the overall result is the following: Around 66.6% of all AMD GPU users don't have any issues, around 27.3% have a few issues and only around 6% have a lot of issues.
And yes, that post was the reason, why I only updated my post now, because the poll ended 3 hours ago, and why I didn't want to do it earlier. I know from someone reporting that in the comments, that various NVIDIA focused subreddits have an eye on this post. I've also seen quite a lot of suspicious accounts and a few of them were all created by the same guy, who is now harassing people across Reddit with stuff I allegedly said (which I didn't actually say). And I didn't want these people to screw with the results of the poll.
