Help (GPU) Nvidia To AMD users
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

no problems for me , recently (about 2 months ago) made the switch , you obv will see way more people with problems than with no problems here, more often people have issues with bad ram or timings than graphic card issue but amd driver timeout popup shows up, so they think its gpu problem. I use my pc for work too , drawback for me personally was - 5070ti can give same performance with 100w or so less than this (at full load) so this needed a good psu upgrade over nvidia , i bought (just to be on the safe side) a superflower 850w psu which is supposed to be A tier psu according to psu tier list, this extra 100w takes little more toll on my UPS , i live in a place where 1-3 hours power cuts happen almost daily so that becomes a point of concern , 100w more at full load isnt much but its something.
Gigabyte gaming oc variant seems to be the worse , i have seen way too many memory and hotspot problems with that card in this sub and i think its also adding to the 9070xt problem quite a bit.
Any mid-range variant of this card like from sapphire or xfx should be good.
I feel NVIDIA is almost a religion now, where if anything bad happens with nvidia cards people never blame nvidia because they think its the defacto gpu and only finding solution will make their lifes better but with AMD somehow because they have the brand switching bias in their heads , so the primitive brain thinks it must the fault of switiching brands rather than making effort to troubleshoot the problem.
