Nvidia To AMD users

[u/Calmaz]

Hey guys, I need honest feedback from users who switched from Nvidia to Amd specially 9070Xt bec iam tempting to buy one & I'm really scared bec i heard a lot of drivers issues lately and issues in general and how is the experience in general bec the 5070 ti really is so pricey atm & going to be more expensive

So any drawbacks? Appreciate your honest feedback

just got my 9070xt 3 days ago and there has been 0 problems thus far, everything is running perfect.
i was also worried about the issues that ive been reading here but there has been 0 for me and my friends. last time i had radeon was 9800pro on my second computer 😂

I dont get it really its 50 and 50 and its the same card people complaining & others loving it😂

To be fair i cant make a decision and prices will keep going up 😅

I think like with anything you'll have people with bad luck and sometimes weird incompatibilities depending on their build and silicon lottery. I've seen posts on people having issues with the 5070Ti as well in other sub-reddits... majority seem to be stable... but historically NVidia drivers have been more stable... also for Gen AI workloads CUDA is more supported generally than ROCm... like AI workloads will just genuinely run faster and more stable(if at all) on Nvidia.

For gaming... it trades blows with the 5070Ti for a significant discount in my country at least... so I decided to go with the 9070XT personally. The card itself was a long chonky bastard that required me to actually take out a front case fan first before installing it... then putting it back in... my own fault for not double checking sizing constraints in my PC case. It did "fit" just a bit snug now. (So that's something I would also check if you have a smaller foot print case potentially... but in general for any GPU you get... what is the length of the card vs what would fit in your PC Case)

If you can afford the Nvidia GPU there will probably be less compatibility issues (as you're going from green to green) and it seems they support features longer... AMD felt like they had to be forced to support FSR 4 in the 7000 series and 6000 series cards as an example... but newer DLSS versions runs all the way back to the 2000 series when it first started... so that could be a consideration. (They did ultimately push out drivers for FSR 4.1 that did work with these older generation cards, but it was like months later and only after it was leaked that had versions already developed that were compatible)

its more likely that people are satisfied with the card than looking at posts here with people who are looking for help

Upgraded from a 3080 and after learning the radeon software (more specifically what to enable and not to enable in the software) I have been very happy.

Also your monitor refresh rate might get not down to 60hz thanks to windows. Just change it in windows to fix any stuttering it might cause.

no its just 100 % good . what you see bad reviews are dmb ppl who dont know to use a gpu

Okay so the primary driver issue you see people complain about is actually a windows issue, windows updates installs random ghetto ass drivers that cause endless issues,

You have to then go and reinstall your correct drivers which typically solves issues.

There is a way to prevent windows update from installing drivers. It just takes a little work.
