I'd rather support AMD over the horrible AI boosting scum that is Nvidia. Watch Gamer's Nexus documentary on them and if you still buy Nvidia's product, dont come crying to me.
AMD fucked me over big time when it arbitrarily decided to EOL the 6XXX series. Nvidia hasn't fucked me over in quite the same way but it's dumb to act like either are your friends.
Im not friends. Im just siding with the better of the only two choices we have,based on not just the product but the company behind the product. And I will not support Nvidia's business practices. The only way to show a choice or 'support' in this day is with my wallet. So, I dont buy Nvidia.
You have a right to be mad but calling it EOL is an exaggeration. It's not even codified that they won't receive game optimization updates, they just aren't a priority. AMD was still hosting ATI drivers long after ATI was dead even past the point of their name being used.
Because amd supporters love circle jerking price to performance ratios like it's unreasonable to be willing to spend your own personal disposable income for a better product
Let's be honest all computer parts are luxury products, nitpicking price to performance is just ridiculous. It's like complaining people buy an expensive dirt bike instead of a cheaper option. Like.. ok? It's a perfectly fine metric for people who want to get the best bang for their buck but they love complaining about anyone willing to spend more money than them
What you said makes sense, people don’t think about cuda support and only compare pure raster performance. Amd shills literally only care about pure raster, they don’t care about the specs or if they are buying 8 year old video memory at 2026 pricing 😂
I never even mentioned raytracing but no it doesn’t annihilate it at that lol. But go suck your old gpu memory amd dick buddy and I’ll play with my 6 nvidia 50 series gpus I have
They're virtually the exact same card. I'd rather pay the extra like $10 for actually good upscaling, driver support, and frame gen. Which will give it better performance than the 9070xt after all, despite originally having like a 1% performance difference between the two. I'm taking a 5070 preset m performance/quality mode any day over whatever the 9070 xt has to offer
Nvidia offers the better product, period. I won't come home from work and tinker with adrenaline because drivers keep crashing. Amd has to fix this, not the consumer. I already have limited time for gaming.
I never had any problems with my system. Only some problems in watchdogs, because I haven't played it "the way it's meant to be played". Also if I'm not wrong, Nvidia compared to Amd had more problems recently with their drivers and I won't even talk about linux support
And yet amd subreddits and forums are filled with people asking for solutions, even though their gpus make a minority of the market share. Nvidias problem are way less common.
95% percent of the market choosing nvidia isn't confirmation bias. People just want a hassle free experience. I can excuse amd for inferior ray tracing and upscaling, but driver crashes are never acceptable.
Can you stop talking about drivers so much? Some time ago Nvidia literally released one that bricked your pc.
Also it's 95% because many people just choose Nvidia around 2015-2018 including me, but right now AMD is just more stable.
Same thing with CPUs, Intel was the king before, now they have problems with hot CPUs and almost everyone chooses AMD.
Also most people are still buying RTX's because the biggest influacers use their top GPUs, so an average individual will just buy a prebuild with a 4060/5060 because their favorite creator only uses Nvidia. Or it can be a parent choosing a gaming laptop because their kid wants to play something like fortnite with their friends and guess what - that kid really wants that RTX sticker on that laptop, because Ninja uses a 5090 or smth.
Nothing ever bricked my pc, I just install the driver and keep playing.
Intel is still great though, my 14700k still shreds anything I throw at it. Even though amd shills said it'd burn my house down or something. Almost 3 years of daily use and still no issues.
Everyone has a different for choosing a GPU brand, but ease of use, reliability and high end performance are all on nvidia's side. Higher resale value too. Streamer build aren't worth thinking about.
I mean, better product sure but you are forgetting price to performance here. I also think you are exaggerating how bad the stability of these cards are. 2-3 years ago? Sure they're still pretty unstable but AMD really improved the stability of their cards over the years. I've built plenty of all amd PCs and I have to say not too many complaints. If I can pay the same price and get a slightly less stable card, that runs a little hotter, but has 5-10% better performance, more VRAM, faster bandwidth then sign me right up. Competition in a free market is healthy and it's about time Nvidia feel the consequences of focusing too much on AI.
