Every time I use a system with an AMD/ATI configuration it under performs and is less stable than an Intel/Nvidia system.
I've built many AMD based systems and many Nvidia based systems, there is generally little or no difference. The odd time you run into a port where performance is crappier due to the devs being paid off or just not testing on AMD hardware. Saints Row the Third was the only recent exception I've seen, it just performed worse on AMD cards despite being sponsored by AMD. AMD does however have terrible OpenGL drivers.

I've not had any issues with ATI/AMD since Windows 7 was first released. Back then Dirt 2 crashed pretty hard until the next driver release fixed it. |

| Apart from killing Dishonored when attempting to load a saved game the beta drivers aren't really doing anything noticeable. |
