Reasons to love AMD

I’m not going into the waters of who produces the better cards. I do, however, love how AMD only periodically release updates. I have owned Nvidia’s and it felt like playing on a PS4, updates were required every single day. It is refreshing that AMD updates are rather benign. Although saying that, it was only a month since the last. Maybe AMD updates just feel less intrusive.

Meh, either way, kudos to good guys AMD!

Although you should receive an automated option to update within your AMD Crimson QuickTray, here’s the link to the official site.
