amd gpu or nvidia

[Nelo_dragon]

so this is my first pc build I think I have everything down except the gpu I'm thinking about an amd gpu instead of Nvidia because its cheaper but I've heard there not that good for anything except gaming. I'm using this for dev work and games. which should I get.

LTT include productivity benches in their reviews and you can also look at benchmarks somewhere like Puget or Tech Notice (YouTube).

 

THG and other tech sites are also including content creation now in their GPU reviews.

 

Generally speaking: major 3D work (like Blender) is likely to be out with AMD, but 2D is fine. What apps do you use? What is your budget?

 

Is your usage heavy and work related or just light / hobby?

Nvidia makes editing very fast, rendering encoding. 

AMD and ull wait 30 seconds every time you edit something

Whatever you'll find closest to MSRP, I guess.

Can you not make stuff up when helping people? What you said isn't true.

I do agree OP for their use case may be better off with nvidia, if only because of how the question was phrased. 
There is nothing wrong with AMD, its just not AS click and run as nvidia is. 

AMD GPUs and RoCm are amazing for compute.
