Anything to help them take on Nvidia and stay competitive is a good move. However, I wish they would also announce a recommitment to driver and software stability. I had to move to Nvidia for my workstation rig after having constant stability issues with numerous AMD cards across multiple builds. I can handle a few rough edges or performance that isn't top-of-the-line but I can't put up with constant crashes ad driver timeout errors. It's annoying in games and devastating when I'm working.

I wish their GPU line received even a portion of the polish and care that their CPU line did.

Damn, I've had the exact opposite experience. I had to move away from a 1080 Ti that I was having constant instability with, even after I went back to the retailer and got a new card.

Unfortunately at the time, AMD didn't have anything performance competitive. But it was worth the downgrade for the better drivers.

Was it the card or was it something else? Any chance you have a 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU?

Isn't it at meme levels when YouTube games have their screen go black and they mention Nvidia crashing?
