As one of the parts for my new system, I had decided on a Gigabyte Radeon 5000 series graphics card, until I read some user comments about unstable drivers. The comments were focused on games. One person commented that he has had trouble with AMD drivers, but not nVidia drivers. I had selected this Gigabyte card on the basis of better price/performance and a reasonable price.

Can anyone comment. Again, I do not play games on my PC, but I do use it for Lightroom and some Photoshop.

I got an email notification today that someone replied to this old thread. The reply was clearly spam, and seems to have been removed.

But to comment on the original thread, by the time that new generations of NVidia and AMD graphics cards were released in August, 2020, there were massive shortages of all graphics cards. I ended up getting an NVidia 3060 Ti, and only recently. I was an an EVGA list that promised I could buy the card and MSRP (or RRP), and that's what I did.

Part of what attracted me to NVidia was their "studio drivers," which are specifically tested with various Adobe applications.
