AMD gpu is usually better for the price.

Nvidia is generally more expensive but better.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

They are both great for gaming, and in work use they each have their own pros and cons

 

Your friends are wrong, atm AMD has the best bang for the buck. The R9 390 is a great card, and you will love it :)

What is the difference? i am currently looking at MSI R9 390 Gaming 8G GPU for gaming with Full high Setting, some of my friend saying AMD GPU is not good is it true?

nvidia vs AMD is like Chevy vs Ford. They make the same things, perform similarly, have their own benefits and falls, and of course each have fanboys.

One has annoying fanboys and the other is going out of business.

They have architectural differences with strengths in different areas.

AMD is better at compute while Nvidia is better at tesselation. Each company has its own features. Nvidia has CUDA and shadowplay while AMD has its own features (don't have an AMD card atm so idk its features)

At the moment AMD is the better buy and depending on your uses maybe even a lot better. Nvidia is better for some other uses. 

If you are going for gaming performance, unless you play lots of Nvidia titles, you should go for AMD with its better performance for value.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

Your question is way too broad to give a direct answer. Watch this to get some broad answers: https://youtu.be/N5fi3ARXWKc

That's a 3 year old video. Situation may not be the same. I wasn't in the PC scene back then, but if I remember correctly, AMD was much more competitive back then.

At the moment AMD cards are better for the money in every price bracket except the very highest tier.

 

Nvidia just has a bigger marketing budget.

so i gonna take it that MSI R9 390 Gaming 8G will be a good GPU for that pricing range right?

Yes, definitely.

It's the same. The two chip manufacturers still design and manufacture chips. nVidia has their own factory, AMD uses contractors. Neither of them actually make consumer cards, both of them actually make professional cards. Market shares shift and shift and shift. Opinions change. Cards and chips come and go. And everything stays the same. :D

NVIDIA is fabless like AMD.
