    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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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.
