Well... The thing is, Driver support from Nvidia does "enhance" the experience a bit more than amd does. And what I mean by that is that in some situtions that me and my friends have come across, both having used amd and nvidia cards, having a bit better driver support would have been great for some situtions.
For example, when Crysis 2 came out, it had tons of issues with SLI/Crossfire configurations. The game had tons of graphical glitches and it was virtually unplayable but Nvidia rolled out the lastest profiles faster than amd in which case, the Nvidia users with SLI got to experience the game a lot faster than the amd users did. Another example was when cod ghosts came out, it was poorly optomized as hell but Nvidia's driver updates helped with the issues a lot sooner than amd did.
Now, I am not saying that if the Nvidia card costs like $200 more and its only slightly better than the amd card, you should get it cause of driver support but if the cards are similary priced with similar performance, people should go for the Nvidia card or at least consider the driver support as an option

Look you have no idea how many problems me and my friends had with Nvidia. The SLI problems were so bad that my brother just had to sell off his cards. We learned that Nvidia finally fixed a chipset compatibilty error HALF A YEAR LATER. If you had problems fine, but I have had more with Nvidia. Again, we both just got unlucky. I have no problems getting an Nvidia card if they make a card that is the better product when I upgrade. Don't let bias cloud your jusdgment.

I am not... I have been with amd for a long time for my video cards and I only recently switched to an Nvidia card although my laptop has Nvidia as its gpu so I have had experience with them in the past... I am not saying amd is bad or anything, all I said was if they are similarly priced with similar performance, people should consider the driver support from Nvidia as an option, that is all
