Amd vs Nvidia : Which Graphic Card is Better ?

[@nervsouly]

As someone who owns both a 7900 XTX and an RTX 4090 I can confirm it doesn't really matter anymore if you pick red or green. Both are great nowadays. The only difference I want to highlight, because no one ever talks about it, is how AMD GPUs run at higher temperatures than their Nvidia counterparts. The difference is about 10 degrees celsius idle on the desktop and can get as high as 15 degrees celsius during graphic heavy gaming sessions (7900 XTX caps out at around 95° when you load it with nearly 100%, I've never seen the 4090 go above 80°). I also had a 6800XT before and it too ran at higher temperatures. Exhaust air can make your life a lot more miserable if you're living in a warm environment.

While AMD has definitely been in business longer...they were not a competitor in the the area of graphics cards until they bought up ATI. ATI and nVidia would take turns each generation in taking the crown from the other....but that really hasn't happened since they were bought out. While AMDs tech has come a long way and their modern cards are definitely able to compete with their nVidia counterparts...in terms of market share they are not even close when it comes to PC graphics cards. This sucks....as nVidia prices keep growing towards the sky as they have no real competition to worry about (in terms of marketshare).
