Ryzen was a surprise to everyone not because it was good, but because they didn't fuck it up within two generations.
AMD cards have more raw compute than nvidia, they are better than nvidia, yet the software is so bad that I gave up on using it and switched to nvidia. Two weeks of debugging driver errors vs 30 minutes of automated updates.
It's rather shocking that with RADV, Valve (mostly) has written a better RDNA2 driver than AMD has managed for their own cards. Besides the embarrassment, AMD is leaving tons of performance and therefore market share on the table. You have to wonder wtf is going on over at AMD.
