This is the reason i went back to Radeon/AMD,  i ain't had a good driver from Nvidea since June 2012, all drivers since and up until last week when i changed cards were shite, they would make my screen go black for a couple of seconds when i was on the website with messages saying "drivers have failed"

Exactly opposite my experience.  Radeon has long been known in tech circles for crap drivers.  I've had my share of problems with them.  Granted that experience is dated now because I went NVIDIA and never looked back.  Only time I ran into trouble with NVIDIA drivers was in trying out one of their beta drivers.  That's what I get for trying to live on the bleeding edge.  Where display and other system drivers are concerned, that's an area for hard-core testers only, NOT everyday users.  Learned my lesson.  Meanwhile back from planet Nevermore, NVIDIA rocks my monitor daily and I'm certainly not about to change anytime soon.  Sorry you've had troubles, SOB.  That totally sucks, but my sense is that you are in a TINY minority.

I probably will be in a minority, obviously so many people will have Nvidia cards but if you look at some of the posts here lately and what people talk about in the servers the minority is growing, there seems to be so many people griping about these drivers lately, i am glad i changed i should never have went back to Nvidia.
