Ah, all the reviewers like Linus who say modern AMD cards are good are fanboys? Interesting little conspiracy theory. I'm playing on an RTX 3070 right now as my comment history indicates. Before that I had an AMD card and had no issues. Before that, I had an NVIDIA card. I just look for cards that offer good value for the price and right now that's AMD RX 9070 XT.
You aren't helping PC gaming by being an NVIDIA fan btw. If you want cheaper PC components you shouldn't want NVIDIA to be getting like 70-90% market share. A strong product offering from AMD helps PC builders and gamers by creating competition in the market... you should celebrate that.
They don't have equivalents to some NVIDIA technologies and a lot of the ones they do have aren't as good, and they only offer better performance per dollar BECAUSE that's literally all they can do to keep their GPU market share afloat, if the tables were flipped then they would be overpricing their cards too, but that's never going to happen as long as they don't make real innovation with their GPUs like they have with their CPUs.
They also have a very lengthy history of bad drivers that get better over time, that hasn't changed, their release drivers are always sloppy.
Release day drivers aren't as good yeah but why does this matter that much? You just wait a little while and the problems get fixed. Not even that long either. I'm happy to do other things or use a different computer for a month if it means I get $50 or $100 off my GPU.
But I guess there are people who want the most current products in their lives on day 1 of release, the sort who camp out at Best Buy or whatever because they're super excited about using the new gaming product on the day it releases. If that's you... yeah, I guess it makes sense to go with NVIDIA.
But I have no problem with waiting a bit to get a better deal.
Radeon looks fine to people who don't care about literally anything other than raw GPU performance per dollar and video memory per dollar, but that doesn't apply to a lot of people to want DLSS, better RT performance, Reflex, CUDA, NVEC, etc. NVIDIA has more to offer as a complete package and they have hardware acceleration, that is why they've been more expensive, these things cost money and it is a business at the end of the day, NVIDIA is very wealthy because they're good at the business aspects, AMD comes nowhere close because they've been bad at it and waste so much time trying to be "friends" with consumers which is all fine and dandy but doesn't build immense wealth if you can't deliver the exact same product as your competitor.
Hell, up until 50 series, PhysX for 32bit games was a huge hit for Nvidia because it brought much better performance in some of the games that used it, without it the 50 series cards get worse performance than 40 series in those older games because they cut it out on Blackwell. That's admittedly a stupid problem but it was just a consequence of cutting 32-bit CUDA support that wasn't really necessary to keep, PhysX was a part of that and it might just be for 32-bit games, but for those games that benefited from it it just puts AMD on an even playing field with NVIDIA.
Frankly, the 9070xt is the only card AMD has made I'd ever consider suggesting someone buy over nvidia and then only if it is atleast 100 bucks cheaper than a 5070ti.
The saving over the equivalent nvidia card has never been worth it if you are a functioning adult and can do some very basic budgeting and the argument that you can upgrade more often doesn't count, as I clearly pointed out you can easily upgrade every generation with very little impact on your life, so why buy the objectably worse product?
If someone was looking to buy the 5070 I would make the exact same argument, only id suggest the 9070xt (based on its MSRP) or a second hand card.
To be fair a £250 3050 8GB is far more capable than the high end cards of yore, new cards are insanely more complex to design and manufacture, add on inflation and the prices are fine and understandable.
Get a, better job or evaluate where you are wasting all of your income?
Clearly you are living beyond your means if you cannot save 10 bucks a, week and, I already covered this, if you can't save atleast that much, you have bigger concerns than buying the latest gpu!
The 9070xt is only good if it's atleast 100 bucks less than the 5070ti.
So, you are telli g me you will inconvenience yourself for the sake of 50 cence a week over the generation, less if you keep it gir more than 2 years, so roughly 7 cence a day?
To put that into other terms, you are telling me, you woukd walk a mile a day to save 7 cence over parking at your destination?
Of course you wouldn't, that's ridiculous, bear in mind, it isn't free parking a mile away either as that is the argument you are making.
9070 XT should have stayed @ approx $599
any higher then you might as well get a 5070 Ti or 7900 XTX
A version of it perhaps, but doesn't it lack the hardware? That is the entire reason it's not available on older cards.
Raw performance wise, the 3050 is about onpar to a 2017 1070/Ti or Vega 56, 400 bucks cards almost a decade back. So that's a miniscule improvement. The RX 6600 would be the better deal anyway. Still, the entry level has been stagnant for years now. Even the Arc B580 barely beats a 2020 3060Ti.
Intel are reportedly moving away from TSMC though, which is risky but could pay off in the longer run if it all works out. The TSMC monopoly is one of the driving factors here.
Apart from those old cards don't have half the features of a 3050, it's why I used it and not the rx6600 as an example.
I like AMD, tl nvidia has been busy creating new tech to drive new stuff, the 3050 8GB is far faster and more capable than those old cards the moment you look at including dlss and raytracing, plus it's cheaper and faster, and it's only 2 generations removed so 4 years, not 6/7 as the latest cards are.
Honestly, the 5050 is one of the cards I'm most looking forward to, maybe more than getting my hands on a 5090 as it will likely be a larger upgrade for my htpc to go fro. 3050 to 5050 than my main rigs 4090 to 5090.
I'd argue that entry level cards are some of the most exciting cards we've had in recent years when you look at their capabilities to price.
