I have been building AMDs since 1999. Never went back to Intel.
My only gripe, is when AMD bought out Radeon.. I am an NVidia user :P

#12 I have a desktop pc using a Gigabyte board built in 2015.
I bought a Nvidia GeForce 1650 GPU card GPU-Z ATI with 4gb GDDR6 back this past July to replace a XFX AMD Radeon R9 270x 2gb GDDR5. The card came out in 2013.
The old graphics card worked great until an update for my Movavi Video Suite 22 (movie editing software) when it would not open anymore. It needed OpenGL 4.9 instead of the 4.6 I had.

The latest driver is from April 2022 and has version 4.9. AMD says this is the last update for the card.
The new driver has issues in that the web browser, email and explorer folder size is made much smaller when the monitor is turned off then back on. I had to resize each time and I had many programs and folders open.
I found many complaints in my search but no working solution. AMD says related to GPU Scaling Modes. I found posts going back to 2011 for AMD cards. The original that came on the cd has no issue.

So I bought a Nvidia based card. It needed no additional power plugs unlike the old card which needed two power plugs. It used the power from the slot I plugged it into. I installed the driver from their website and all is working great including my movie editing software.
