As someone that recently switched from nVidia to AMD, I can also say that nVidia products are just plain better. AMD is trying to fix it, but also now "too late", their drivers, that frankly, are crap, on all platforms, AMD drivers are very, VERY buggy. Also, AMD GPUs need excessive amounts of power, at first I didn't considered this a problem, until I bought my AMD GPU and noticed it is constantly throttling and causing stutter even in professional software, due to power limits, it also bit AMD in the ass during the RX 480 launch (where the excessive power usage went beyond the motherboard limits, and their "Fix" was make the driver instead request power beyond the specification of PSU cables instead, or allow users on Windows, to enable a harder power limit, making it throttle even more). I had hope AMD would "scare" nVidia into improving, into stopping their shady business practices and just improve their business, but after actaully buying AMD product, and interacting with their crappy support, crappy community, crappy distribution network (it was very hard to get the card!), I concluded that AMD has a loooong way before they make nVidia react, AMD is too far behind in all aspects, and the only reason they are still competitive, is because they sell very power-hungry beefy GPUs for cheap prices, achieving a reasonable performance per dollar, but if you compare their products ignoring that, they are just junk (both in the hardware and software sense). |
