Nvidia’s GPUs are considered second to none in the enthusiast PC space, and there are plenty of convincing reasons to go with Team Green for your next build. XDA Developers highlighted a few of those reasons to consider an Nvidia GPU over an AMD one recently, going over things like DLSS and the raw performance of RTX GPUs. AMD graphics cards, however, have also come a long way, and they aren’t trailing too far behind in 2023.
In fact, there are some good reasons to consider them over Nvidia’s options, and you certainly can’t count them out of the race. If you are in the market to buy a new graphics card and are split between AMD and Nvidia, then here are a few reasons why you should consider an AMD GPU for your build.
OK, admittedly two of the reasons are related, so this could be more of two good reasons. I did opt to go with an AMD Ryzen 7 for my last CPU I bought (my first non-Intel in decades), and I’ve been very happy with that choice. I only realised a month later, after I’d bought an Nvidia GPU, that I never really took a serious look at the AMD GPUs.
I’m certainly going to do so next time I buy a GPU (I don’t buy them with every PC upgrade I do). In my case, too, I’m using Linux, so I really don’t get to use some of those additional extra Nvidia Windows-only features. I have way less to lose, actually.
A GPU comparison for Linux users would be quite interesting to see, where it compares head-to-head on open source as well as OEM proprietary drivers.
