I had almost ZERO issues with ATi/AMD drivers, even when I was beta testing for them.
It all depends on the hardware configuration and specific games.

This on Windows - I don't consider Linux as a gaming platform.

I had problems with their newer drivers hard locking my computers with videos, even in web browsers, on my very old Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine. I went back to very old Catalyst drivers v8.10 and no more problems!

At work, my latest drivers refused to uninstall fully. I had to use a driver clean software in the updated 2.75 years old 64-bit W7's safe mode.
