In terms of features, are NVidia GPUs far superior than AMD?

[Hi P]

Let's say that you got two graphics cards that are nearly identical in price and performance.

 

Is it safe to say that NVidia seems to offer much more features than AMD?

 

Am I wrong?

For most people, No they dont offer much more. For more creative people, sure i can see a bit more helpful things on Nvidia cards. Other then that this seems like a rage bait trying to rile up the rabid fanbases.

 

If they perform the same, and often times at least some of the cards do, it comes down to what you want. Nvidia is way ahead for ray tracing performance. Given that a lot of games are now starting to really lean into it with the newer Unreal engine.

Hehe sorry, no I wasn't trying to rage bait anyone

 

But for example, we have seen that DLSS always looks generally better, then most recently RTX Remix among other creative apps, etc

 

For the average Joe (me included) it just looks like NVidia keeps pushing more features for their GPUs

 

Hence why I asked if my feeling is wrong

The most GPU features still goes to S3/Via for having a feature set list longer than nvidias GPU history.

Do you need multichrome? Configuration free, bridgeless, chipset independent multi GPU capability scalable to 8+ gpus in a single system allowing for cooperative rendering, 16 layer Picture in Picture video, and integrated frame syncing without an SDI card?

No, you probably don’t need that. But Via didn’t care and simply kept adding features to pad the spec pamphlets for their doomed video cards.

For the same price, AMD GPUs tend to have stronger raster performance in games than NVIDIAs, while raytracing and streaming is (slightly) worse. It is why many people here recommend AMD GPUs if the only use case is gaming.

 

In AI & machine learning however, NVIDIA absolutely beats AMD's butt.

i have not experienced any recent AMD GPUs so take my comment with a grain of salt

 

but the last time i used an RX480, the "shadowplay" equivalent of AMD is absolute dogshit, it wouldnt run 90% of the time, making you miss moments in games, which is irreplaceable

[Mark Kaine]

the difference isnt as much features its usually the drivers, but yes nvidia also has more features for creativity, ai, etc and indeed the recording functions never worked well for me on amd.

 

imo this isnt the right question to ask somehow, you want roughly equivalent performance to nvidia on the cheap you go with amd, every other case you go with nvidia or even intel.

You pussies

 

Yes.

YES.

 

i dont use ray tracing at all. and still dlss>fsr for 4k, but it's not like i can't use FSR, the shimmering's just quite...noticeable in some games to put it nicely,

 

1440p native, amd is usually a good bit stronger for the same price. my 6950xt kicks my 3080ti's ass at 1440p, probably the same for the xtx vs the 4080S.

 

if someone doesn't wanna deal with the 12vhpwr connector, go amd.

 

at the end of the day, the 4090 is the fastest gpu atm, so fast that we won't even get a titan this gen.

 

And just because i dont use the tensor cores for deep learning doesnt mean others don't, and AI's all the hype right now, so nvidia cards will be easier to resell for people that do.

The 4090 is the titan just with a different name.
