    I haven’t even owned an NVIDIA product. AMD has always offered me obviously better value. I’ve always seen the logos these companies make deals with each other over, pretending their games run better on one brand over the other…

    I will never buy NVIDIA as long as I live. It’s time for new hobbies I guess. Sad.

      That’s absolutely a thing. There are a lot of benchmark channels showing noticeable changes in fps for some games between brands. Depending on the game, that might change the value proposition.

        Famously, Nvidia drivers contain hacks for lots of games. Nvidia takes the crappy games and writes work arounds into the drivers to make the games work.

        CUDA support is what really pissed me off. I wanted to do some early machine learning (photogrammetry and computer vision stuff) 10-15 years ago, but the only way to use it was on nvidia hardware.
