Is there a core reason why nobody seems to even care about non Nvidia GPUs?

Should I buy an AMD PC in 2026?

I think an 5700xt is like 200 usd.
>>
Cuz they don't work too good.

You should put it in your bum-bum.

>>107891138
Top AMD is only 10% behind Top Nvidia GPUS.

The only reason people care about Nvidia is CUDA.
>>
>>107891174
DLSS, good RT, PhysX, less buggy video decoding, correct bit depth for HDR textures, Nvidia control panel, etc etc
>>
>>107891113
I have a 9070xt. It is great. The downside is community projects are all written for cuda and I have to locate forks that work around this. If you're going to run linux amd is better supported because their drivers aren't a black box. If you're going to coomgen or even run newer hardware emulators like yuzu or ryujinx they will run better on nvidia. My 3060 12gb ran ryujinx significantly better than the 9070xt does

Nvidia dropped physx, amd does rt now, dlss is only in compatible games the same as fsr and both are fucking annoying because of it. I don't work with video but I kept my 3060 as a spare for if I do end up buying a eos r50 or something

>>107891113
I got the 5700 and kinda grew to dislike the fan blower type. Dis nigga runs to hot but still does all games that I play, but you will stumble with wierd shit with unreal engine games that are doing new techs. They do this wierd shit where they render things as dots and the new GPUs smear it like you would when stepping in shit. Had it in lords of the fallen 2, (last game I played) but don't care enough to play with settings to find wtf is that.
I'm happy with it but wouldn't recommend, maybe check out the 6900 or 7900
>>
>>107891113
Because CUDA is all a gpu is good for since AAA games are all wokeshit garbage
>>
>>107891210
>buzzword meme marketing shit
ok retard.

I don't play AAA goyslop.
>>
>>107891210
Is rt really an argument given that only after the 40series they could do more than 30fps stable?

Because whenever they ask about it online some Nvidia shills who have never used AMD/haven't used AMD in years come in and say it has horrible drivers bla bla.
Basically just ignorant cunts who have decided to hate on something for old reasons no longer relevant.
As someone who has both Nvidia and AMD rigs at home, I have more issues with Nvidia.
Does that mean Nvidia is shit? No. But it also means you shouldn't base your purchase on what some fanboys say online.
Look at price, hardware testing by professional sources (multiple) and then decide what you want to buy.
Picrel was the result of the current "what hardware do you have" user survey at Sweclockers. The largest PC forum in Sweden.
AMD absolutely crushed Nvidia in terms of popularity. The 9070 XT standing so far above the rest it wasn't even a competition.
>>
I use several content creation programs that either need CUDA to run or perform better with that shit instead of using OpenCL.
>>
>>107891322
>haven't used AMD in years
To be fair they were literally still selling Vega in high-end laptop chips just 3 years ago.
>>
>>107891354
And I have local stores selling "ultra performance 4K gaming computers" with old gen i3's and GTX 870 cards in them.
You can always find shit computers with outdated hardware.
>>
>>107891376
>GTX 870
780. Fat fingered the hell out of that.
Though I did see a desktop with a fucking 870m chip in it..
>>
>>107891113
I'm not buyign anything with a 16pin connector so nvidia is a no-go.
once my rx7900x is dead i'll buy whatever highest-end there is between intel or amd, nvidia can suck my fucking dick
>>107891322
>As someone who has both Nvidia and AMD rigs at home, I have more issues with Nvidia.
yeah nvidia drivers are utter dogshit since the launch of the rtx50 and they don't care about it anymore now that it's a datacenter-only company

My only nvidia GPU was a GeForce 6
>>
>>107891403
>so nvidia is a no-go
that's a non sequiter. Plenty of Nvidia cards have regular PCIe power. I'm using a 5060 Ti 16GB right now.
>>
>>107891210
Call it a cope if you want but if you aren't pixel-peeping then fake frames are gay and blurry and RT is a gimmick that doesn't add much. Can't speak to the others.
>>
>>107891113
5700xt has a flawed gpu, rdna 1 has numerous hardware bugs and is sensitive to low quality power supplies, thats the reason they are cheap. i would avoid it if you can, if you dont have any choice hope you get a good one.
>>
my last two AMD cards just stopped working for no reason so I only buy Nvidia now

never had a Geforce die
>>
>>107891113
For Linux is AMD the only way to go?
>>
>>107892461
Sort of
The NVIDIA drivers are just worse than their windows ones, but apparently they are working to fix this, we'll all find out in five years or so
>>
>>107891804
>Plenty of Nvidia cards have regular PCIe power.
not in the tier I want to buy, there is only the 16pin connector for the 5080 and above.
I alreayd regret not getting a xtx but my previous gpu died and there were only xt in stock so... I won't make the same mistake
