AMD vs 3rd party drivers?

[LiquidAurum]

Would it be a better idea to go with AMD drivers? or drivers from Asus, MSI, XFX, Sapphire etc. ? I feel like manufactures would be better THEORETICALLY speaking. So I was wondering if you guys have any experience with stuff like that

Other way round, the most up to date drivers come from AMDs website.

Depends on the device., If you're talking about a laptop with an AMD graphics card installed, it's best to get the drivers from the laptop manufacturer as they may have tweaked the card to meet their hardware specifications.

If you're talking about a discrete graphics card installed into a desktop PC, then it's best to get drivers directly from AMD.

Is there any reason for that? I mean I understand but I would think that let's say XFX would make their drivers better for their cards since it's more specific right?

Discrete graphic card manufacturers like XFX, EVGA, ASUS, etal, do not code drivers.
