I never had any "issues" either when I ran ATI/AMD GPUs, but in terms of temperatures, fan noise, TDP, FPS, drivers, etc, etc. I've just discovered that Nvidia does everything "better".

I've been an ATI fanboy since the days of the EGA Wonder card that let me
play games on a monochrome monitor.

@Clipdat, not sure about your gaming experience but I've never had an issue with an ATI/AMD/Radeon card.

Cheers, I'll drink to that bro.

Have had much more success with my GTX 1070 vs my RX 480. Quieter, runs cooler, better driver support, no artifacting issues, has RGB, etc.

Everyone has their own anecdotes about issues with PC hardware companies. I much prefer to play games than worry about having a hardware pissing contest.

Sorry, did I miss the post where people were having a hardware "pissing contest"? Are we reading the same thread?

Fair enough. Never run into those specific issues myself but I could certainly see where that would lead you in other directions.

I had a good run with ATI/AMD. I stuck with them ever since my AGP Radeon 9700 Pro which was my first actual "nice" video card. The GTX 1070 I picked up last summer is my first Nvidia card.

Picture of the 9700 for nostalgia:

Recently started to replay fallout new vegas. This time around, I'm modding it with a bunch of reworked textures to make it look like a much more modern game, instead of the almost 8 year old masterpiece it already is.

Wow, it's a lot of effort sifting through all the mods.

The sniper rifles are a lot of fun as well. Now I need to replay it.

After I finish Skyrim.

Is it like the never ending story or something? I have 65 hours on it and I feel like I've barley scratched the surface.

Have not played Fallout 4 so I can't comment.

No. Unless you want to play an FPS with minimal, bare bones, basic af RPG elements.
