Tried AMD twice. First a "local" built AMD CPU w/Radeon GPU (like 1997). Usable, but any problems I had were GPU/driver related.
Next time around a laptop. Some Windows CPU related problems, mostly GPU (whatever AMD's top of the line mobile GPU was then..around 1999-2000), some BAD problems with a lot of gaming software I played. More than enough to piss me off and also convince me the "discount" wasn't worth the problems at all.
Since then, I have built 4 or 5 Intel/nVidia based desktops with very successful results.
I tried and didn't like the results. It also seems to me many of the current issues sound very like the issues I had in the NINETIES!
That is a long time...

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
