    I’m literally using a full AMD PC right now. I don’t like Nvidia as much as the next person. I think they use terrible monopolistic practices, and if the competition were on par I would not buy Nvidia. But they aren’t.

      The guy asked what’s better for gaming and you want on a rant about Nvidia being better because of AI workloads and other software.

      Amd are the better cards for gaming, Nvidia may have better ray tracing but most games don’t even use ray tracing so you will spend an extra 30% to get the same gaming performance from an AMD card that actually has enough Vram to play the games at ultra settings and higher resolution.

        Well, if you are not gonna use Nvidia’s extra stuff, buy an AMD, by all means.

        But what you say is disingenuous. “AI and other software” is not entirely unrelated to gaming. Things like hairworks, physx, and most gameworks in general run on CUDA. And for AI (which I don’t care about that much) there is DLSS, and they are working on AI enhanced rendering.

        Most games don’t use those technologies, but some do, and you will miss out on those.
