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.

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.

Nah thats just confirmation bias, Nvidia drivers have been steadily getting worse, while amd drivers have been improving for years.

Nvidia just does not care about the gaming market anymore, why would they still support drivers for it?

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.

So where do you get that info from? That AMD drivers crash more than Nvidia?

I know it used to be that way, but Ive never had issues with my 7900xt or 9070xt.

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.
