So while researching professional gpus i noticed that 2 competitors at roughly the same price have a big difference in refresh rates at different resolutions. 

 

AMDs option for a little under 2k is 200$ cheaper than nvidias. Encoding and other specs aside, as they are very similar.

 

AMD 4k 120hz

          8k 60hz

 

Nvidia 4k 60hz 

            8k 30hz

 

Would this be a big deciding factor for you? Personally ill be running more than one 4k display, so i care a lot about it.

In this comparison, AMD card's using the Displayport (1.4?) while Nvidia card's using the HDMI 2.0 port. That's what makes it different on paper. You overlooked the fact that both AMD and Nvidia's new cards support DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.0, which means this 'difference' doesnt exist at all when both use the same ports.

 

Encoding-wise, they are quite different because Nvidia GPUs supports CUDA but AMD's doesnt. Considering it's used quite a lot, that could be a big difference.

For $2,000 ish dollar workstation cards, its still 100% alive.
