I've seen some people say things on forums like: get geforce because its smoother than amd.

 

Is this complete bollocks or is there some thuth to it?

In my opinion it is rubbish. Unless they can prove it, there is no worth to what they are saying. Although i've seen people say that about Nvidia too. :P

770 is better than 280x in every case but 4k period... :)

 

and the smoother part depends upon various factors...not just the gpu... :P

why would you say that? they pretty much go neck and neck, but the 280x has 3 gb ram

also mantle

Its complete bollocks. Unless you are comparing a GTX 780ti to an R7 240. Both companies have their advantages and disadvantages, as explained by Linus in this NCIX video

My PC:


4670k      GTX 760 ACX      CoolerMaster Hyper 412s      Fractal Design Node 804      G1 Sniper M5      Corsair RM 650      WD Red 1TB     Samsung 840 Evo 120GB

So, let me tell you a thing about frame pacing. You may read a review that says a card operates at 60 FPS average over a minute and another at 45 FPS average over a minute. You may think 'Well, I'll go for the 60 FPS one'. Well, if that 60 FPS card gets 2 FPS for 1 second then 120 the next second and so on and so forth and the 45 FPS card gets 45 FPS solid, you'd rather have the 45 FPS card.

 

Historically, AMD have had better Frame pacing than Nvidia, so Nvidia get higher averages but AMD get more consistent frames. Although, I've heard this has changed with the R series of cards

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - CPU Cooler: Deepcool Castle 240EX - Motherboard: MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC

RAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RBG 3200MHz - GPU: MSI RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO

He said every case period. Is 4K somehow exempt?

yes, and if you plan to sli or you are going to use a higher resolution then you can get the four gb version of the 770 which it can't use all of the 4gb vram it can only use around 3gbs of the 4

True to some extent. CFX 280X or less should still have frame timing a bit off which results in micro-stutter, tough it's probably almost eliminated by now. SLI on the other hand has this HW fixed for a couple of gens now.

As the FPS gets higher its more within margin of error (i.e 199FPS vs 205FPS)

 

As the FPS gets lower, the margin of error shrinks. At that low of a FPS, the margin of error is like 1 FPS- which still makes the 280X a better card.
