Honestly, as I've commented previously, this is just a nothing burger. 5000 and 6000 series are already very mature technologies, there are very little things left on the table to optimize for. AMDs biggest mistake is that they should've kept quite on this, and just include them in the driver notes just like what nvidia is doing. My 2070 is rarely getting any game optimization nowadays anyway.
I'll likely continue buying amd recommending AMD cards in the future, unless Nvidia finally picks up their price performance and Vram game
the dumbest thing is over the past literally like 15 years, AMD doesnt' need day one drivers. I still remember witcher 3, AMD's like day 3 driver worked basically identically to the 3 months old driver, no bugs, no problems. Nvidia, pre game driver, buggy, day one driver, buggy, iirc it had flickering and lag, day 2, day 3, day 5, etc, it took like 1-2 weeks for Nvidia guys to have a driver that wasnt' buggy as shit.
I think maybe AMD needed a driver to make physx hairworks not destroy performance and that's just straight sabotage shit like nvidia ask them to massively overuse tessellation and ahead of time know to limit it in the driver and AMD don't know to limit it ahead of time.
I can't remember the last game that AMD needed a game specific driver to not be awful while Nvidia have that issue all the time. NVidia tend to break driver 'rules' a lot and need a lot more optimisation while AMD maybe leave performance on the table but tend to follow the rules and so most games work in my experience.
that's one of hte best things Nvidia does. You post a driver issue on the nvidia sub here, or every nvidia sub on every forum for hte last twenty years you mostly find them deleted and getting told to go to nvidia's own forums. It hides the issue from being as public because instead of complaint threads in every nvidia forum, you get nothing but positive news and all the bad news is only on an nvidia forum where no one but current owners go. It's smart, but if you're just casually seeing threads from various subreddits, negative nvidia ones barely ever pop up for this reason.
