It depends on the game. Some games AMD cards blow Nvidia cards (of the same "tier") away, some it's the opposite. The GP commenter who said they "suck" is incredibly wrong. I can't understand people who fan-boy over giant corporations.

Since at least the Pascal microarchitecture NVIDIA has beaten AMD in performance per watt, and AMD is infamous for how unreliable and poorly performant their drivers are for Windows. AMD manages to do decently in benchmarks because they overclock and overvolt their cards with massive heatsinks and the cards last just long enough to run the benchmark before overheating and downvolting/downclocking.

All of this is accepted industry fact, and your devolving the discussion to personal insults is proof of this; otherwise you would have come armed with actual tests and reviews.

Yet I have non of these issues with a AMD card. Apparently I'm the only exception in the whole world considering it's industry fact.
