Crash course on video/audio drivers on games...
Pretty much everything that I know I have learn by first hand experience (and usually the hard way ) or by what I read from people like you guys. I hardly ever get involved in knowing the full details of what a driver can or can't do, again, I am more sit of the pantsof guy.
Take UBI latest games for instance... AC:Unity. Watch Dogs & Far Cry 4.
These games were marketed heavily as the next gen games, all the trailers looked awesome, yet, when it came time to roll the games out to the masses, they were clearly the worse console ports to pc to date.
A guy was asking if the newest beta drivers from AMD could fix the issues he was having with the game and I, in so many words, told him that it was my experience that drivers were not miracle workers and if the game was having issues with freezes, stuttering, bugs and glitches, it was going to be hard for him to wake up to a working game.
Of course I assumed by his post that given the fact he was asking for the newest beta drivers , the latest whql drivers were not working for him.
Why am I asking this? simple.... a fanboi went ballistic with insults, more so because I don't own the game even though I have said many a times that I have played it at my friends plenty of time and what I have played is enough for me to know that the game was a polished turd from the roll out. 9 patches later, for most is like pulling teeth because what was working fine before, does not work now with the new patch and it did not fix what was wrong anyways
Anyways, I guess I was more looking for first hand experience than what we can read on the internets, and of course from people with knowledge because that is what they do.
