AMD vs NVIDIA

[KoeppColto024470]

I'm planning on doing a 4K Gaming/Editing rig and was wondering about a card recommendation. I am debating about getting a RTX 2080Ti or a AMD RX 5700XT. After doing some research on both the 2080Ti is PCI-E Gen 3 based and the RX 5700XT is PCI-E Gen 4 based which only Ryzen 3 CPUs currently support. With that being said the benchmarks I watched stated that the 5700XT performs simular to a 2070 Super. A RTX 2080Ti costs roughly 1.3K USD (depending on brand and mode) vs the RX 5700XT costing at most 400 USD. Only downside is currently Newegg only sells ASUS's blower style RX 5700XT cards which doesn't really matter as I plan to water cool my card/cards anyway

2080ti and 5700XT CANNOT BE COMPARED. Their performance and price is too different

PCI-E Gen 4 based

backwards compatible with even PCIe 1.0, that's what PCIe standard askes for

Brand doesn't matter. Don't make your decisions based on that. Also pcie 3.0 is just fine.

 

The 2080 Ti and a 5700XT aren't even remotely comparable, so I have no idea why you're trying to decide between them. What's your budget, what games do you want to play, and have you bought the rest of your system?

Depends on what software you're using to edit. IIRC Adobe, for example, greatly prefers Nvidia. You'd want to do a little digging and find out which card is going to work best in all scenarios for you, and which technologies you want when it comes to features on the cards.

 

Since you're going for 4k, I'd strongly suggest looking at the 2080 Super. It gets within spitting distance of the 2080Ti for about half the price.

Sure you can. Anything can be compared. Don't be daft.

They're comparable in the way that it's AMD's basically top tier card (aside from perhaps Vega VII, but I'm not even sure that's that much better), and that's Nvidia's top tier card.

If you want 60fps/4k/ultra settings then the 2080 ti is probably the way to go. If you play less graphically demanding games and don't mind messing with settings than the 5700xt could do the job. If you want more power than the 5700xt and don't want to spend 1.3k go with a 2070 super or 2080 super.

Alright thanks guys this really helped me and since I have a big enough budget that I could get a 2080Ti or even two I'll go with that instead. I was just wondering if there was a alternative that could relieve 4k/ultra/60fps

2080 and Radeon VII could barely do that, but why would you consider them when you can afford 2080Ti(s). Titan RTX is too expensive to be worth it for gaming.
