Team green or team red and why

[Faisal A]

Regarding graphics cards, are you on Nvidias side or AMDs side and why ?

[RobFRaschke]

Team Blue! Because more competition will be good for everyone.

[seon123]

Neither. Being a fanboy benefits noone, so just get the product that makes the most sense for your specific usecase.

Team Green usually has gpus that will last longer in the future, and that are worth a good price. Team Red is good if you want a Gpu that is good for moderate workloads and is moderately less expensive than team Green.

Team whichever has the better price today.

Someone just found out about polls and wanted to use them

[Jurrunio]

I sincerely hope all the tests and examinations can be this concise

AMD gpus last really long, people are still using HD 7970s

I believe that a Nvidia equivalent would last longer in terms of performance, not sure about their endurance though.

i use an nvidia titan xp right now , but ive always leaned towards amd , the perf to $ is really where its at. used to have amd 290x's and they worked good for me till the fire incident lmao

Nah, in fact AMD cards are designed to last longer via more compute units and better driver support, such as the 780 ti vs the R9 290, at launch they were tied but now the 290 beats it

i"ll look more into to it, but i've always heard more people saying Nvidia is the key winner. But I suppose your right with your proposals.

Case by case there are good examples though, such as Maxwell having certainly aged much better than Kepler (and Fermi, good god)

I’ve owned the following cards

 

Radeon 9800 (two cards)

Radeon 800 xt pro

Mobility Radeon hd 5870

Radeon 7970 GHz edition

 

Geforce 6200

GeForce 8800 GT

GTX 560 ti SC

GTX 970

GTX 1060 (laptop)

 

 

I’ve never had a single Nvidia card die on me or really quit in any way. I’ve had 2 radeons die on me and the 7970 had a power handling issue ASUS couldn’t fix. It would slow down to roughly 30% speed and the card would buzz and whine LOUDLY for a full minute before returning to normal. Would happen every 5 minutes or so. I had a great PSU and very good cooling at the time. The only Radeon that never broke was the 5870.

 

I’ve worked with a lot of other cards in builds I’ve done for others and Nvidia has never gone wrong on me (even upwards of 10 years later the are still working)

 

In my experience the Nvidia drivers are also better.

 

for the cost, the cards just perform better.

[Acid Panda]

well at time 6700k was better than most everything. 

same goes for 1070 and still that way really.

AMD has done very well to shake up the market but has some areas to catch up on.
