Just something I was thinking about. Alot of people say that nvidia drivers are more stable than Ati's. However what I want to know is why? Is it because alot more games are optimized Nvidia Hardware, Are the game makers favouring Nvidia Hardware? I've had my own experience with both Nvidia and Ati cards. From what i've seen Nvidia drivers usually work with most of the new games that come out without a hitch. Ati drivers however work most of the time but sometimes require a driver update or a patch. This is just based on games that are newely released. I know some will say it happends to Nvidia cards also, but it is far more frequent with Ati cards.
So back to my point is it just bad driver design on Ati's part, sloppy coding by the Game makers, Driver bias by the game makers. I know some of you will say it is stupid for a game company to just release a game that works with only one manufacturs card. And I agree cause that would kill the market for gamers and be a big loss in profit.
So the question is are Ati to blame for the drivers or are there more things involved here that we the public just don't know about.
