QOTW: AMD Radeon or Nvidia GeForce for your next PC?

[Kevsta]

Just bought a Zotac GTX1650 Low profile. Big improvement on the old 750ti.

Big increase in performance, however it is a noisier. Perhaps I should have gone for a 1050ti low profile, but it'll do me for at least 5 years.

The one I will win in one of your giveaways.

We'll see what is available in two or three years, when it's upgrade time again.

No idea at this stage as I only got my 1080TI last year. I gave my last amd card to my parents but they ended up having to go back to intergrated graphics as one of the windows 10 upgrades caused windows to crash and amd cut support. Thing is i purchased the amd card after a previous nvidia card which was still supported . Unless amd driver support has got better will likely stick to nvidia.

Currently 1080Ti, 980Ti and a laptop with a 1070. Turing was a major fail thus skipped. With AMD promising good things for next gen console, it would be silly to write them off. So lets see what next year brings.

[Korrorra]

I have a 1070 Zotac. I am hoping for a AMD card with the next generation. Though the cards are slightly less expensive. If I don't like the next batch of cards, then I will likely go Nvidia again. All I know is that both companies are screwing people over on price.

[moshpit]

Nvidia Ampere, most likely. Turing isn't enough to pull me off of my 1080 Ti. AMD is still playing catchup to 1080 Ti, so unlikely to be AMD next gen unless they pull off a surprise, which I won't rule out, just unexpected.

Nvidia

Got an RX 5700 being delivered on Monday. Think I've done my homework so it should be a sensible cooler. Most I've ever spent on a GPU

[firewrath9]

Nvidia. I need CUDA for Tensorflow, and ROCm just ain't there yet. Probably a 2060S, but I'm waiting for next gen.

[Quartz]

AMD have nothing to offer at the top end.

[LSG501]

Didn't we have this question a little while ago....

Mines pretty much restricted to nvidia due to my software working primarily/better with cuda than open-gl.

[atomicWAR]

I got a RTX 2080Ti after one of my GTX 1080s died. Running a single card for the first time since Nvidia reintroduced SLI back in the Geforce 6000 series. Point being I will likely not upgrade until 3rd gen RTX cards drop or AMD releases something faster the nvidia's top tier cards (again after skipping next gen...I hope).

It's with a heavy heart, that I have to say "probably nvidia".

I bought a 5700 XT from Scan (who have been utterly awful with their aftersales to the point I will be avoiding them in future) in September but had nothing but problems. The card was woefully unstable, and looking through Reddit etc., I'm in no way in isolation.

The final straw was when I was in the middle of a support call and the card crashed. I simply can't have something that falls over all the time.

I was really wanting to shift from nvidia's insane pricing over to AMD, but it simply isn't feasible for somebody who makes their living from their computer (as well as gaming, natch). Looking further into the problems, crashing AMD drivers, irrespective of the generation, seems to be a not uncommon occurrence.

I'm sticking with a 1070 Ti for the time being, but I might pick up a second to SLI it, or keep an eye out for some deals on the 2000 series next year or something.

You're really let me down AMD.

Apart from the issue with Scan, that ^^^, is why I have chosen Nvidia for many years now. The memory of the frustration of crashes and graphical glitches has kept me away from AMD ever since. Personally I have never had an issue with an Nvidia card so that is where I will stay.
It may be that I am maligning AMD for no good reason but the memory persists and steers me away from them every time I have to make a choice.

I used to be Nvidia but since I bought my 144hz 1440p Freesync monitor I've owned a Fury pro, Vega 64 and now a Sapphire Pulse 5700XT. Although Nvidia now claims to support Freesync I'll probably get another Radeon in about 18 months time as I usually go 2 years GPU cycles. I've been lucky with drivers I guess and if you go on Nvidia forums they complain about NV drivers too so I don't read too much into driver issues.

I also own an XBonex and I'll be buying the new MS console when it comes out next year to do 4k gaming on my 50" LG HDR TV. That will be my main purchase next year for sure.

Radeon for me this time around, BIG Navi with HBM2
Still have Vega 64 LiQuiD (AMD with LC).
It's a great GPU for 1440p up to 100FPS, paired with 10Bit Freesync 74Hz.
