Since chip manufacturer AMD purchased graphics card company ATI in the summer of 2006 there have been erratic experiments in rebranding, but now AMD has fully committed to this, and are dropping the ATI moniker entirely. Going forward will sell their graphics cards under the AMD brand as AMD RADEON and AMD FirePro, as outlined on The Tech Report, while they say AMD will also offer products labeled simply RADEON and FirePro for lack of confusion in Intel systems. Other branding changes include ATI EyeFinity becoming AMD EyeFinity, and the dropping of the Fusion label altogether, and Fusion products will now be part of the Vision brand. They indicate that this rebranding paves the way for the release of AMD's upcoming line of integrated CPUs and GPUs. Current products are not being renamed, and the first AMD-branded GPUs will arrive later this year. They have some slides from AMD reflecting the market research leading up to this decision, though viewing such materials has been known to make one's soul dissolve.

From what I've seen, nvidia is usually an occasional driver with issues, while ATI has been repeated issues. Thats from my experiance. Again, that's usually due to publishers not testing ATI products as thoroughly as Nvidia. Nvidia also frequently offers financial incentives to developers to optimize for their products, read into that what you will. It's been less and less of a problem since their marketshare picked up two years ago. Most of the issues I see are either fixed rapidly or belong to people with esoteric hardware setups. Read the Nvidia drivers changelogs sometime if you think their stuff doesn't have issues too.
Regardless, both companies have had multiple "disaster" scenarios with their drivers in the past few years. It is the nature of consumer level videocards due to the rapid pace of development in the industry and the constantly required optimization efforts. |
