    I have 2 AMD cards on a windows 10 and windows 7 machines, never had any of these issues. Sounds like you just suck

    I've never not had these problems. I've never had AMD drivers work properly without being hacked up by DnA. AMD has been crashing Windows for me since the Mach32 and Windows 3.1. (Don't even get me started on all the different Mach64 chipsets with different drivers.)

    Say what you want about nvidia's bloatware, the driver installs are smooth as silk. AMD sends me to a browser page where I must try and figure out what download to select (considering the version numbers never match), then I have to download and install manually.

    Ugh. It's 2016, right? AMD's driver updates make me feel like I've timewarped to 1997.

    I do not have problems with AMD drivers (Win7, HD7970). Though I did not update them for a long time. But I never had the strange problems with AMD drivers people seem to report.
