I haven't even owned an NVIDIA product. AMD has always offered me obviously better value. I've always seen the logos these companies make deals with each other over, pretending their games run better on one brand over the other...
I will never buy NVIDIA as long as I live. It's time for new hobbies I guess. Sad.
The true catch 22 is devs use dlss as a crutch Escape From Tarkov has had a bug on AMD causing distant objects to shimmer.
I was AMD only for years but since it's one of the main games we play I caved and it feels shitty.
That's absolutely a thing. There are a lot of benchmark channels showing noticeable changes in fps for some games between brands. Depending on the game, that might change the value proposition.
Famously, Nvidia drivers contain hacks for lots of games. Nvidia takes the crappy games and writes work arounds into the drivers to make the games work.
CUDA support is what really pissed me off. I wanted to do some early machine learning (photogrammetry and computer vision stuff) 10-15 years ago, but the only way to use it was on nvidia hardware.
The industry relying on proprietary platform always ends up stuck like this
You're right, but the further from release you are the less relevant this becomes. Another win for patient gamers
Over the lifetimes of the GPUs, many that benchmarked higher on nvidia early on swapped places as the AMD drivers matured.
