There is no doubt that AMD is a better company than NVIDIA in OSS terms.

But don't simp for a company, vote with your wallet and always look for the best and consumer friendly product.

For now, not gonna lie AMD is pretty rad, but I hope next generation Intel GPUs are competitive.

I think AMD is a great competitor and we need more competition to lay it to NVIDIA and AMD as well, BUT HOLY FUCK. I can't stand AMD's software/control panel vs NVIDIA's.

Aye. The Nvidia control center was cool when I installed it for my Ti 4600 in 2002 and not much has changed. I'm not particularly fond but the aesthetics of the Radeon software, but it beats the heck out of the semi-useless GeForce experience. I have to make an account just to see if there's a driver update available? I can't even control fan speeds in Windows without third party software?

They're both bad but in comparison Nvidia's offering is garbage.

I am so fucking sick of having to make an account for everything, I swear to God

You don't need an account for drivers. You can still get those for free off their website just like you could in 1999. You only need an account for their experience app.
