There were also very bad downclocking issues caused by the early Kepler drivers that could afffect all generations of Nvidia cards at the time, but mainly caused issues for people with overclocks. Nvidia has had a huge habit of releasing drivers that are less tolerant of overclocks than previous driver versions.
And although it's a little older, this is really the crown jewel of Nvidia's issues:

Sure, not everyone is affected by all driver issues even when other people are with seemingly identical situations (excluding the issues, of course), but to say that Nvidia has any fewer problems than AMD would be completely incorrect. They tend to have different problems, so the same people that have issues with one card often don't have issues with another card from a different company when doing the same thing, but that doesn't stop other issues from existing just because you don't have them. Nvidia is no better than AMD, especially these days. Nvidia used to be better, but that's history.
Sometimes Nvidia responds faster than AMD for fixes and they probably do so more often than not, but that's their advantage in this case, not having superior drivers and even then, it's not always true. Nvidia has taken long times to fix things even recently too.
