Both companies have strong showings in different applications for example, Bitcoin favors AMD very strongly. Its a great benchmark and looks amazing but its not realistic to use it to judge the future of performance in DX11 titles.Ĥ)Physx is a zombie, Nvidia is moving away from it at least in the way we know it now.ĥ)The argument about Nvidia being better for things other than gaming makes me assume people are talking about OpenCL or general computing.

Unless your at the High-End or running multiple cards your not getting ideal performance.ģ) Games like Metro 2033 shouldn’t be used as a baseline for evaluating your next purchase unless you plan on playing it all the time. Several things stand out from reading everyones comments.ġ) Both companies have been known to reuse previous gen architecture so don’t even try and use that as an excuse against the other.Ģ) Most cards can’t handle DX11 worth a damn. They all perform similiarly at the same price points and give and take on features. Both companies have failed their customers in some way or another but sadly its a duopoly so pick your side and move on. Never had that issue with Ati/AMD drivers. Also, I have had issues with both cards drivers and lost several cards to those infamous 196.75 forceware drivers that were known to kill cards.

Not saying Nvidia is to blame because none of them were reference cards but still. That being said I am currently using AMD because after 6 Nvidia cards dying and 0 Ati/AMD cards dying I figured I was wasting my money. I have used both companies products and their both great. Wow the kinda stuff people spew about cards is ridiculous.
