AMD dropping the ball

    I've had it with AMD and their complete ignorance of their graphics card customers and the way they've been running things lately. I'm not a fanboy by any means, but I have stuck with AMD for a while. I run 2x6850's in crossfire and there has been so many issues with Skyrim because AMD haven't bothered to release a performance driver OR CAP's yet.

    Now don't get me wrong, this hasn't been game breaking although it's not far off. I've had to download custom tweaks and software to get the most out of the game simply because AMD aren't arsed. It was the same story with BF3, Rage (11.11 Catalyst drivers being released THIS week should finally resolved Rage isses... when was Rage released again??), Deus Ex, plus there are issues with MW3 and people are now reporting the same old story with the Star Wars:TOR beta.

    Here's the last Skyrim update we got from @CatalystCreator on twitter:

    We're working on a CAP update for Skyrim; as soon as an ETA is known I'll let you guys know
    10 Nov

    We don't even have an ETA for a CAP release yet, never mind an actual fúcking CAP! It's a joke at this stage... Meanwhile, nvidia have released yet another performance driver for BF3, and they had a beta driver up before Skyrim was even released.

    This sums it up really, particularly The Bottom Line:

    Personally, this is the last straw and I cannot wait to get an nvidia card back into my machine.
