It's interesting because my experience has been completely flawless not has a single crash, black screen or any performance loss running VRR, HDR with various game some with DLSS and others at native but I'm on a single screen and on HDMI so maybe I avoid everything and the problem is display port related maybe but it's a shame GN never did tests with HDMI or at least never said about the results if they did but there is one good thing with the crashes been reproducible and not just random hangs and that is like gold dust to developers so it should be something that can figure out.

Usually, if nothing is said, it means that it's not relevant. Therefore, if they don't mention HDMI, then it shouldn't cause troubles. But it's not like you can connect two monitors via HDMI with these cards, right?

In any case, I'm happy you're not affected by this mess.

When it comes to the problems with drivers, in my experience neither AMD nor Nvidia have even been flawless. Nvidia may had earned a reputation of good drivers, but that was mostly because AMD had more troubles, making Nvidia look good, rather than because their drivers were flawless. The amount of hotfixes Nvidia has released over the years prove that.

It's just that this time it feels like all stars have aligned and nothing has gone as planned for Nvidia (lack of stock, missing ROPs, burned connectors and bad drivers that are jus tthe icing on the cake) whereas everything when great for AMD, starting with the gamble of delaying the launch by a couple months that, instead of hurting them, allowed them to build a lot more stock and gave them extra time to work on the drivers and avoid the usual launch issues it has always had.

There is some models that have 2x HDMI connectors mostly the Asus cards but a few others do also so they could of tested it and ruled it out if they couldn't reproduce crashes on dual HDMI but if it didn't cause problems I think they would of mentioned it's a DP thing only so I presume they never did the tests.
