Lol finally giving respond eh? 
Btw this kind of topic usually end up being fanboy war. Because in the end different people will have different experience. That's how it is when pc already have million of configuraton. Right now we see the increase of people reporting problem on nvidia end. Maybe that have something to do with more people owning nvidia card vs amd right now.
If i don't read it the wrong way then right now nvidia probably sell more discrete gpu than AMD sell their discrete gpu combined with their APU.

This will be argued to death.
I think they are both about the same. Sometimes one will slip pretty bad, other times the other will slip up pretty good.
I would get a video cards based on performance in the games YOU play or the features you want.

Going to have to say Rally, wait a second...
Nvidia tends to release drivers with popular game titles and does a good job of optimizing right out of the gate. Performance basically remains static when you buy the card.
AMD tends to gradually increase the performance of their hardware over time via drivers. Really helps out on the low end.
Depending on how you look at it, yay Nvidia for making the card fast, or yay AMD for making card 'last longer'. VS Why don't Nvidia cards show improvement with driver releases? or I can't believe it took AMD so long to get the performance right with this driver!
Every once in a while both companies will release bad drivers (Nvidia had a recent snafu)

its a question with out a yes/no answer really--some games favour one some games the other
of more interest is which one will have the best new gpu in a few months pascal or polaris

My main gaming PC is SLI 970s but I built a new machine out of my old Radeon 7850 and some extra parts I had lying around. This also gets occasional use from me.
I'm not sure I would say that one company necessarily makes better drivers than the other. Nvidia is certainly much faster though. They have a driver with optimizations for just about every major release a couple days before the game comes out. AMD often takes a couple weeks to push theirs out.
If you play a lot of games on day one Nvidia might have an edge. If you typically wait for sales it probably won't matter which card you choose.

Cause I know a lot of people with AMD gpu's who had really bad issues with amd drivers or trying to update them and many games tend to crash more on AMD Hardware example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WmwlTBo6JY) and As someone else here said Nvidia usually does a good job on optimizing their gpu's for really new games and to fix bugs/or imrpove Fps or add support for a new technoology
( I never had Driver issues with Nvidia since 2009 with Windows xp-8.1-10)
Now there will be a lot of people to say "you are wrong i have had a lot of issues with nvidia drivers" or "nvidia fanboy".
No, it is just clearly Personal experience. Right now both are decent

See thats a better answer, the OP might actually get something out of that. Much better than just saying AMD or nvidia with no explanation, after all your quote is "Dont Hate on a thread and support your opinion".

In the past it was a really easy call, Nvidia. Nvidia released drivers much more frequently than AMD and had much better driver support. However AMD made big changes starting with Catalyst Omega and with the Crimson drivers have only gotten much better. AMD now releases drivers much more frequently than they use to, and although they still might now release as many drivers as Nvidia they have improved greatly and are on equal footing with Nvidia. In fact AMD's DX 12 drivers have actually been testing above Nvidia's.
AMD has improved their drivers greatly from what they once were and today have just as good of driver support as Nvidia.

Nah. Flame bait.
OP never once giving his response after first post haha

Nope, youre wrong. I actually wanted feedback of people on their experiences with nvidias and amds drivers for a project im working on. I just didn't know how to respond to any answer. Thanks for your answers btw! Very Helpful.
