Forums - PC Discussion - Nvidia: 'AMD customers stuck with sub-par gaming experiences'

In a Kotaku feature examining the ongoing tensions between the two firms, an Nvidia rep stated: “If AMD spent as much time working on their drivers and actually making investments in gaming than they did talking about us, then maybe their customers would not be stuck with sub-par gaming experiences in today's cutting-edge titles."

Their still salty about the console deals ? 

Yeah AMD's drivers may not be the greatest for linux but it's a different story for windows and this isn't last decade anymore, Nvidia ...

What are they supposed to say? Our competition is better/more valuable of a product?

OT: I still agree that comment was uncalled for, and someone may be repremended. A lot of large companies actually give employees training on how to talk about the company and competitors in a professional manner to avoid PR disasters like this.



Nvidia is just butthurt that console manufacturers don't use their GPUs anymore.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Urgh.

Still, I'm leaning towards Nvidia for my next graphics card. For efficiency, if anything.

I don't really side with one camp or the other when it comes to buying. I like AMD more personally, but if nVidia has a better deal, I'll jump on it. I got the 760 GTX when it was the best option at the time, and before that I had 3 AMD/ATI GPUs after a couple nVidia ones - always go with the better deal; that way the consumer wins.

I'm a Windows notebook user with an AMD card and while it wasn't an easy process to update the drivers thanks to the manufacturer of my notebook locking driver updates, I've never had any problem with those outside of the update thing. Meanwhile, my old desktop had a nVidia card and I got a few bluescreens thanks to nVidia's driver. Since AMD's situation with desktop drivers is much better than with notebook drivers from what I've seen on the internet, I'm not sure what nVidia is talking about there.



What a nice message! ;)



Nvidia needs to shut up and stop being so butthurt.

Last I checked, the performance gap between Nvidia cards and AMD in Linux was unacceptably huge, so I have no choice but to stick with evil, evil Nvidia for now.


"Gaming"  and "linux" should never be used in the same sentence...

 

I've never had an issue with drivers from either company. Apart from physx, Nvidia cards simply offer less than the AMD ones, with the R9 290 hammering all the price point competition and Mantle is just widening that gap.
