I have honestly had less issues with my nvidia card, I mentioned it before but there was some AMD related issues, dunno if it was based on the motherboard but I recently checked the posts about the bug report again: people still have issues. It was a mess with stuff randomly crashing the driver and not being able to recover. I fixed it by going nvidia weirdly enough.

And yeah, that's imho the best positive you can just use a live-disk and test from there, have done that a lot before myself.
