Hey! Miracles happen.

And a RX 7600S? That's a fairly recent mobile part so, congratulations Boffer!

Thats like haveing a mobile 4060, laptop (only slightly weaker, as long as you dont use RT).
People are too scared to buy AMD for some reason....

Honestly, they make great cards.
My pc (that I use for gameing) has a amd one currently, and its running fine.

If your on a budget, getting something like a 6600 xt and a intel 12100f/12400f..... and you have a little but surpriseingly capable pc.

You can pickup a 12400f for 139$ and a 6600xt for like ~199$.

My previous card was an AMD one and was very happy with it. Once I get a new one, I'll look for price and performance, not AMD vs Nvidia.

A 6600XT and a low en Intel part is a great combination for a 1080p gaming PC, as long as you're not too picky with the settings.

I've always heard of issues with firmware and drivers for AMD.  Is that more of a myth than a reality?  I went intel and nvidia only because I was under the impression things are easier from a compatibility perspective, but I'm also super new to PC gaming.

As other have said, that AMD reputation isn't really representative of what users experience.

Last year, for example, there was a Windows update that would reset AMD's Adrenaline software with every new reboot. Everyone blamed AMD. Some weeks ago Windows had a new update that fixed that issue. But since it came much later, the blame will forever be on AMD.

Meanwhile, while doing the news on the PC thread, I've lost count of all the times there's been a Nvidia hotfix driver because they had messed something up.

So yeah, both companies make mistakes.
