Nvidia Or AMD?

[EZBakeNShake]

Currently deciding between Nvidia or AMD for my new build, anyone have any input?  I'm looking for an AMD card on par with the 4070. Going to be pairing it with a 13700K if it matters.

At GPU brute-force rasterization performance, the closest would be the RX 6800 or RX 7800 XT.

It's weird, the RTX 4070 sits in between the RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT so...

 

If you want / need nVidia specific features (i.e. DLSS, better Ray-Tracing, 'Fake" Frame Generation, etc), the nVidia is obviously the only option.

in raw compute or all the extra fluff nvidia does

I guess both? Does the Nvidia fluff do anything that makes it that much better than AMD? I do want to know in raw computing though.

yeah its all their dlss and ray tracing crap.

if the programs youre using support those extensions and you want to use them , then just get the 4070

Depends on the games you want to play. If they support DLSS, but not FSR, or ray tracing makes a significant difference, go team green. Otherwise, team red looks to be a better bet this gen.

I mean, I love to play Portal with RTX, I assume you can't do that with an AMD card.

You can. AMD ray tracing performance still isn't as good as Nvidia, but it's a lot better than last gen. Try to find benchmarks to see if the AMD card in your price range can hit an acceptable fps with ray tracing for you. If not, I'd suggest going Nvidia instead.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Have they fixed their driver issues? If so, and most software I use doesn't use Nvidia's software crap, then I'll go AMD. I'll do my research though.
