AMD or Nvidia GPU?

[ItsKurozz]

My PC needs and upgrade and I've been looking for a new GPU. I'm debating between a nvidia or an amd and would like to hear your suggestions. I'm mainly gonna use it for gaming, recording and editing

Depends on what specific GPU, but generally Nvidia is better for editing. For recording AMD is better, H265 encoding on AMD is better than Nvenc on Nvidia. If you use H264 Nvenc would be better (assuming it's an RTX or 16 Super card). For gaming performance it really depends on what GPU.

 

Edit: here are some recordings I made using AMD and Nvidia GPU's (RTX 2060 and RX 5500 XT). They are recorded at 6000kbps. Nvenc is the Nvidia encoder, on AMD you have choice between H264 and H265 but H265 should be better. I think Nvidia might have a sligthly bigger performance hit from recording but I haven't tested FPS so can't confirm that. If you want I could record footage in higher bitrate like 10.000 or 15.000.

in case of recording and editing you must go Nvidia

For gaming after having last years best AMD and this years higher quality (EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra) id go for the better deal.  

 

If your using it for work like 3d modeling, video rendering, encoding you really can't beat Nvidia.
