He has a point. If you have been following AMD for years you'll see there's something inexplicable about the quality of their drivers. <shrug> I guess it's the culture. I don't know but something seems wrong.

It has been going on for 23 years. My rage128 card, which I bought as a youngster, in 2000, had the worst drivers that 80% of the time did not work.

I don't know if that's a fair comparison... AMD might have bought ATI, but they're not exactly the same company anymore...

Plus back then the concept of needing drivers for hardware was rather new... prior to SVGA, DOS games talked to the hardware directly or just dumped data into a chunk of memory for the video card to display.

I don't agree. The Windows 2000 drivers were critical to get the card to work. However almost all the time the card would not work, it would not give you dvd mpeg-2 playback as the product and ATI promised.
