I don’t deny that AMD offers better value. I’m in search for a budget GPU and the rx7600 seems good to me, as it offers the best performance and is in the sub 300 range. True, the 6650xt and 6600 have even better price to performance ratios, but the 7600 is better overall.
Now, I’m waiting for reviews of the 4060. If the price and performance is close to the 7600, I might be going the green way, because the expected power draw of the nvidia card is reportedly much lower.
Idk if that's true though. Nvidias GPU sales are strong.
I'm a large AMD holder, but I purchased an Nvidia GPU because their offering doesn't have as many bugs, they fix things quick, stability is excellent, and performance is efficient and good heat sinks.
Meanwhile AMDs offering has MANY bugs, every software release they continue to state they have a VR bug but don't fix it, stability is all over the place, the cards are neither efficient nor the best, and there are so many heat sink paste issues it's a joke at that price.
It's one thing to be an AMD fan, but it's another to ignore the issues they clearly have.
I'm in the same boat. I have more AMD than everything else combined. I love Ryzen, but I can't justify buying a Radeon.
I need an RTX card for Blender and Stable Diffusion, so that more than covers my gaming needs.
The way I see it, Nvidia makes compute cards that can also game, and AMD is just the opposite. It's why AMD is the price/performance leader in rasterized games and Nvidia is the price/performance leader in anything involving compute. When Lisa bragged that 6000 series could do upscaling without deep learning, I saw the writing on the wall.
