An interesting article... AMD has been cleaning up the old Ati driver problems.

I think AMD has come out pretty strong with their hardware especially when ASync comes into play. I feel it is in the right direction for them to also strengthen their software to keep up with competition.

It's true nvidia going to intro new drivers to fry their existing cards again to drive up sales for Pascal.

Haha, that I am not very sure. I think this again proofs that both red and green camps have their ups and downs.

What is this kind of statement...

A card must have drivers for work, you don't view it as an investment

It's like saying "Wheels of a car, are they a liability or an asset?"

Actually not wrong what. Last time ATI drivers are a liability, affecting ATI gpu sales. So if AMD improves their drivers it will turn the liability into an asset to persuade customers to buy ATI gpu.

Actually not a wrong statement if you actually drive.

All cars need tires to run. Good tires mean better grip, less aquaplaning, smoother ride, less ride noise.
