i'm not facing any issues with my nvidia card and the prices seem reasonable. it really comes down to what you're using your pc for. if gaming is your main goal, i'm on your side. i recommend going with amd chips—they offer great value. personally, i've used amd for a long time too. however, if you're also into content creation, nvidia cards are worth considering. they perform well in 3d applications and can be a solid choice. from what i've seen, as a creator, geforce cards usually deliver better performance than amd options. it's true that prices tend to be higher for nvidia, but many creators find the benefits worth it. linus's team also uses nvidia hardware, so it seems like a reasonable trade-off.
YouTube clips, gamingpru, overclock forum, subscribers are easily located. One example comes from anandtech forum link provided. Shift 2 was their earlier title and tends to dislike cards from ATI/AMD (PhysX reliant). It’s not a hidden issue... Many are voicing their frustration openly, so I’m not making unsubstantiated claims. https://steamcommunity.com/app/234630/di...953723817/ There are several similar discussions but this thread spans over ten pages. Another link shows more reactions: http://steamcommunity.com/app/234630/dis...146311852/ And one acknowledges the subpar performance on AMD systems: http://steamcommunity.com/app/234630/dis...242212194/ This has been ongoing for a while since it was crowd-funded, so AMD supporters who backed it are growing concerned. Their trailers feature Nvidia logos everywhere—tracks, walls, signs, billboards, etc. It seems the developers received some Nvidia funding. In recent events they’re limited to Nvidia GPUs and display banners during events... Yet despite this, I still really appreciate Race '07 and its expansions. Right now, I’m only paying $3 for it.
They must push hard because GeForce is a basic card for customers. Despite its many workstation options, it remains a budget option. Still, knowing about AMD makes me appreciate NVIDIA even more, especially their high-end cards like the Quadros.
Quadras are designed primarily for businesses and filmmakers, not everyday users. Nvidia seized this opportunity by offering a more advanced version of Titan.
PhysX offers an open SDK for years, which is quite distinct from GameWorks. They utilize a CPU implementation that doesn’t impact AMD systems at all; the only restrictions are related to GPU capabilities. The game performs poorly on AMD because it hasn’t been fully developed, and AMD won’t be able to access it until several weeks before its release. The same situation applies when AMD games are involved.
Quadro is a GeForce card featuring advanced materials that ensure consistent performance and a sleek look. What drives the high cost of Titan is its inclusion of Quadro's "double precision" feature, which significantly raises its price. Essentially, Titan is a combination of GeForce and Quadro technology.
Shift 2 features products supported by Nvidia. This means they focus on Nvidia items. Whether PhysX runs on CPU or not, it remains a Nvidia technology. Game developers need to cooperate since they rely on the SDK. It's also noticeable how frequently Nvidia branding appears inside their titles and trailers! It feels like a large advertisement discouraging AMD players from purchasing these games. In the past, every title with PhysX and the "The Way It's Meant To Be Played" theme tends to perform poorly on AMD systems. Numerous tests confirm this trend, and I've played many of these games with that style. I don't support AMD or Nvidia making such arrangements. They undermine game quality to push consumers toward their own products, which is frustrating. I’ve stopped using AMD titles and plan to switch to Nvidia instead. Still feels disappointing. But I’ll upgrade my CPU to Intel first and install a new power supply unit. On the other hand, Nvidia GPUs seem to work well in AMD games, so it’s unclear why AMD would claim otherwise. It appears Nvidia is striving for openness while AMD seems to be closing off alternatives, reflecting different approaches. Please share examples of games where Nvidia struggles against AMD versions—like R9 270X versus GTX 780, or Battlefield 4, Far Cry 3, Bioshock, etc.—so I can better understand this situation.
