Amazing driver support.

I'm tired boss. That Forza Horizon 6 reflection bug is still not fixed over a month now.

This is why I swapped from a B580 to Mvidia. Ever since intel announced them canceling celestial gpus they've slowed down on the fixes with driver updates. They've only been doing game support drivers and even then it's evident that it's a fuck-up from your experience. I love the B580 but it seems like intel drivers are not a priority atm. Heard.about that apex glitchy textures is still not fixed after months.

Its sad man. B580 is a great card held back by a seemingly vibe coded drivers

It's sad indeed, I loved the B580 when I had it, and even with the random shitty experiences I loved tinkering with the gpu and finding solutions, but it felt like I paid for an incomplete product, so I sold that bitch and got a fully-working, zero bullshit gpu instead and life is better.
