Dev Experiences with AMD GPU (discuss.tchncs.de)

I hope it's okay to ask this question here, since it seems to differ a little from general posts.

I am currently looking to upgrade my workstation GPU and AMD's pricing is far better suited for my budget. But I worry a lot about the driver stability, since I witnessed some true horror stories with AMD drivers back in 2020. I have also read that they've gotten a lot better in the meantime.

So if you happen to use an AMD GPU: How was your experience with productivity software (Unity, UE, Maya, blender etc.) so far?

Appreciate this input. The PAL drivers have indeed become more explicit / strict about spec compliance.

We sort of learned this the hard way across a breadth of older OpenGL apps (leveraging some pretty finnicky workarounds way back when) but have endeavoured to address each of these issues for OGLP.
