AMD Reviews 268

The scalper bot company, zero stock of any products and those that come into stock all goto these bots or scalpers. AMD do nothing to prevent this.

Drivers are terrible and constant bugs with Radeon Software

Their last CPU launch was nothing but a paper launch. All the CPUs are being snapped up my scalpers for reselling at a HUGE mark up! The greedy #*&$. If AMD had produced enough to start with, normal people like me would be able to get a new CPU at MSRP, instead of two to three times that cost.

Waiting 3 months for a Ryzen 3400G. In no other industry could a company get away with such awful customer service and order fulfilment. This is really impacting my climate science research now.

Great cpus for the price! I would never buy an intel CPU, I don't know how they are still in business :>

I like my RX580, but I would not recommend buying an AMD GPU.
The issue is the poor OpenGL performance with their Windows drivers. The FPS are bad, it should not be hard to get Minecraft to run with 60FPS on 1080p, ReLive won't record fullscreen OpenGL applications such as Minecraft, the game will often crash the whole system, Shaders won't work, etc.

If you are like me, and Minecraft is pretty much the only game you play, then this is just sad.

But my biggest issue is, that the problem is just ignored by AMD. There are tons of bug reports online for this issue, but AMD just refuses to update it. And I refuse to give them my money in the future, if customers issues are just ignored.
I will never buy an AMD card again.

My CPU is amazing though (Ryzen 7 3700X)

Ryzen CPU's are the future of CPU's and Intel can't keep up. However, the pricetags are a bit higher than expected for current times.

Was surprised that AMD had really bad support after my TR was busted right off the box. They tried to claim i damaged the product, when i bought it online and it was delivered to me. Sad, really.

I got a Threadripper 1900X in Feb 2020 and after 3 months it failed in March, everyone told me including AMD CPU's NEVER fail,. anyway after testing on 3 different motherboards over 2 months found out it was the CPU so 3 months after starting the case with AMD and going back to the supplier and the supplier sent the CPU back the AMD that was 2 months ago, today I got a replacement CPU WITHOUT the Orange Cartage Support that is used to install the CPU in the motherboard correctly, how do i test the replacement CPU ? if it doesn't work will AMD blame me for not installing it correctly ? ( it's the safety device to make SURE you install the CPU correctly),. the supplier was even shocked at this ?! you can't get them on Ebay or anyway they are connect to the CPU for LIFE no one separates them, I sent my old CPU back with the Cartage support (it's a 50cent part) the reply so far is "that support ticket is closed" and 2nd email said "Talk to the supplier" (clearly didn't read my email) where is the supplier going to get one from ? My first AMD CPU since being a Intel guy for 20 years. Really not happy with AMD support in anyway. so far 9 months dealing with a AMD faulty CPU.

good processor. I am using one for 2 years and it works perfect. although, I had some heating problems in the past, but a cooler will solve them

New Ryzen CPU's blow Intel out of the water completely. No more will AMD be the shadow it once was.

I purchased a Computer through IBuyPower.com and with the package I got included a game download. The game wouldn't be released for a few months. Once the game was released I went to download the game and find that AMD has a clause you are supposed use the coupon ahead of time. Why would anyone attempt to download a game before it's released? Good question, probably so AMD doesn't have pay for it. Customer service is awful.

AMD is really great as it provides newer awesome processors which is absoloutely providing great performance within the price range.The most important thing in which I love AMD is that they consider low budget gamers like me and made a great hope of gaming within my price range.Recently I had build a pc with Ryzen 3 3300x and rx580 which is a real gaming beast in this price range.Really satisfied with their products.

I dropped 400$ on an RX 5600XT only to get black screens in the middle of my games. Never EVER EVER buying an AMD GPU ever again. Anyone reading this. AVOID AMD GPU's. Your better off spending around 20 more bucks on a Nvidia GPU that ACTUALLY WORKS. I'm seriously disappointed in AMD.

terrible customer service
because when i call them i ask them a question about 100 cpu usage with 3700x cpu. they are saying it wont affect the pc and today i asked them if i play at 75fps on game will that causing 100cpu usage, the guy said ur asking the same question again which i never asked before. i think i should get intel i9 9900k processor so then i dont have to call amd anymore because intel has awesome customer service because they were giving me free 9700k processor then 7700. i think from now on i should buy intel core processors instead of amd. and the graphic card i should go to nvidia as always because nvidia gpu never gave me blue screens like other people experienced with amd 5700xt. i was going to purchase that 5700xt but thankfully i didnt need to cause my gtx 1080 graphic card is still working fine.
intel sent me heatsink for free 2 times and i am happy with intel because amd heatsink is very noisy and intel's heat sink are so much quiet. on my next purcahse i am definetly going to purchase new cpu from intel.

Terrible customer care. I sent them an email regarding a factory faulty cpu radiator and the only response I got was “here’s a link to some installation videos to help.” When the images attached to the video clearly showed the faulty product

Before buying an amd processor, just search “faulty AMd cpu radiator pins” and see how many hits come up. Never had this issue with intel before.

I really wish I built with you rather than you know who.

it is totally good and has high performance.
Pes 2019 tested and it works fine via AMD.
But the only cons is that every game needed to be added to the AMD application manually
