I Switched to AMD and Saved $300. Is it worth these tradeoffs?

Ғылым және технология

The time has come to say goodbye, I'm switching from Nvidia to AMD. Lets see if the tradeoffs are worth the $300 cost difference between the 4070 Ti and the RX 7800 XT. Taking a look at why you should switch to AMD, Nvidia issues I am currently facing, Issues AMD has fixed or made worse and some initial performance / visual differences between the 2.

    Hardware wise they are fantastic but their software side has stunk since it was ATI. My friend lost his 3090 and he could not bring himself to buy a 4090 to replace it. He did training of AI models, and Stable Diffusion. I got him to get the best 7900XTX out there (my favourite brand for AMD) the Sapphire Nitro+. He loved the card and so much cooler, and faster, than his 3090. Told him. YAY, but not so fast once you leave the gaming world because the main things he used the 3090 for just flat out don't work, is wonky, or never (yet) implement. ROCm, and attention, is the main downfalls to AMD for AI stuff NOT the hardware. Throw in the fact Python people are so Nvidia (to the point I speculate paid off) that if for AI we are stuck, for now, with Nvidia. My hope lies with Intel come Druid, or Celestial.

    Nvidia "shill" chiming in. After my 4090 had an issue so I had to RMA, I bought 7900xtx from Asrock (Taichi) and I have crashes in every game, stutters in every game that could not be fixed with any optimization tips on youtube and reddit, overheating hotspot of 105 C just while gaming, 450 watt draw (while my 4090 pulls 420 max if it is 100% utilized, but 4090 actually draws around 300-350 watts in almost all scenarios, because it's too powerful for any CPU right now). I don't have crashed with 4090, never did since I bought it. Drivers are beyond solid. Let me think what else on AMD side....driver timeouts. After crash to desktop. So, yeah, don't let this "shill" stop you from buying AMD card. Just pray you won't have at least 2 of my issues Stutters are present even in Unigine Heaven, and Asrock is a solid company. So much for hoping AMD can get their act together after 10 years I've been with NVIDIA since Radeon 7950 HD (2013) Oh, and don't forget the infamous AMDip in frames, as Frame Chasers channel puts it.

    The issue you mention at 18:50 has a basic explanation. One (darker) has full legal colors (0-255) and the other one is limited (16-235). It's an ancient safety feature for old TVs that can't show full colors or incompatible with them and crush all the blacks. Try checking control panels of your GPUs for this setting or make sure you check ''legalize'' option in Atomos Ninja recorder menus.

    I think this actually has to do with a color profile being applied in borderless windowed mode vs fullscreen mode. The difference between the two images isn't _just_ in the two extremes, but an overall saturation difference even on colors between 16 and 235. This is most likely an incorrect sRGB vs DCI P3 color profile setting.

    Blame majority of big tech youtubers that continue to praise DLSS like is 100% better than FSR2, when in reality the difference is not even noticeable for the average joe when is gaming. One thing i think AMD need to try. Release a monster card better than 4090 or 4090ti. They can do it, even if it will cost +2k and 600w power. This is needed because of "perception". KZreadrs when benchmarking always use the best GPU to not be bottlenecked, so constantly using Nvidia, than they are indirectly marketing it, and Nvidia knows this , thats why they always release a monster GPU for perception and mindshare. AMD cannot beat Nvidia like it beated Intel with a Ryzen moment. They really need to compete neck to neck in Ray Tracing, and then launch a killer GPU.

    I'm building a new PC, and the issue with which "mid-range" (under $600) GPU I should go for has been bugging me. Prices vary so much from week-to-week and month-to-month, and I still need to get a few other bits to finish the build. Looking at the games I play and my current setup - my little 1660 ti is doing a cracking job, but going forward I was falling toward AMD, and your video gives such a clear compelling argument for me to stick to that choice. I don't play many AAA titles - especially at launch, I can't use ray tracing yet (current GPU doesn't really support it) and probably won't bother, I don't game at 4K or 1440p (although that may change if my monitor gets a refresh too) and I don't do video or image editing. Thank you!

    The color difference seems just like a calibration issue to me, I never noticed any differences between AMD and nVidia per se, but each graphics card change of course requires a new monitor calibration, or if you're not into that, needs different ICC profile adjustments, often even between GPUs from the same brand, and of course readjusting the gamma in games. One thing though, as someone also mentioned there's a "custom color" option in Adrenaline (maybe nVidia has an equivalent to that too), as someone using a Spyder for calibration I make sure everything there is disabled completely.

    The color difference has been a thing for a decade now. It has to do with how nvidia does data compression. Their method results in higher fps at the expense of intended coloring... because nvidia sort of simulates the coloring.

You got my sub and I'm looking forward to followup videos. Also you have a very pleasant voice to listen to! I personally switched to AMD mid last year when they discounted the 6000 series cards. Got a 6900 XT back then, now also got a 7900 XTX in my main system (and an Arc A770 LE and RTX 3090 in my guest PC and HTPC respectively, my hardware is generally playing merry-go-round my systems as I upgrade until I really have no use for them anymore) and I couldn't be happier with them. The 6900 XT initially had a lot of crashes but that wasn't the driver or anything, it was a genuinely defective card that got replaced by Sapphire within a few weeks. That pretty much is the only negative thing that I had happen to me so far on the modern cards. Last AMD card I had before these was an RX 560 and I got that instead of a theoretically stronger GTX 1050 Ti which was giving me graphics issues due to engine issues with Pascal cards in Ragnarok Online (which is still my daily routine game to this day) so technically, I've been better off with AMD than Nvidia for a long time at this point.

    I made the switch years ago because I got sick of my nvidia GPUs dying on me due to drivers. That was back when Nvidia's drivers kept killing the GTX 400/500 GPUs. I switched to the 290x and stayed with AMD since. I would rather have a GPU that runs slower than the competitions but isn't killed due to planned obsolescence. The way I kept my GTX 560 ti from dying was rolling back to older drivers because anything newer than a certain point cause them to run so hot they would cook themselves and that is how my GTX 460 died.

    I built a brand new PC about 4 months ago and went with a 6900 XT. My last PC had a 760 TI in it (laughs), and I wanted to build something for under 3k CAD, GPU choice being the toughest. It all came down to RT vs more GPU memory for the price and in some blind tests I actually preferred non-RT options in the samples I viewed, so I wound up deciding on a 6800 XT for my budget. Luckily, when actually pricing parts I found a brand new 6900 XT on Ebay, cheaper than any retailer by 100 CAD, so that's what I went with. So far I'm super happy with it and I figure it will keep me happy with 1440p gaming for a few years to come (fingers crossed). BTW, my monitor wouldn't shut off sometimes depending on the driver release. This happened with 2 or 3 of the Adrenaline drivers that I've used since the build.

    I've been doing that on my 6700 XT lately. AI that is, specifically running LLM's on Linux. It definitely took _a lot_ more setting up and figuring out than it would have on an Nvidia card, but once you get Rocm working on Linux the performance I think is not bad. I am running q3 13b models with 6k context at somewhere between 5-9 token/s now. Still, it's not the best but I could see the case being made to go for a 7900 XTX to get that 24gb at considerably less cost than a 4090. Though a 3090 may still do you better if you could get that cheap. Biggest issue with AMD really isn't hardware, it's software compatibility. If you can get rocm to work properly, it works well, but that's a big if sometimes. I couldn't get it to work on Windows at all and wound up needing to dual boot linux.

    I'm running a 7900xtx and I was pretty down on raytracing but in cyberpunk 2077 I get an absurd amount of trailing / ghosting due to how the baked-in TXAA and screen-space reflections interact; for me, it made the game unplayable (aside from just being annoying and distracting, it was physically nauseating at times). My solution to this was to use mods to disable TXAA and screenspace reflections, use reshade to add on a post-fx AA (not ideal but takes the bright edges off jaggies), and use raytracing for reflections. It's not perfect but it's a lot better, and I've began to care a lot more about raytracing. With fine tweaked settings and raytraced reflections, I'm getting about ~40fps in busy scenes with impressive visual details. While AMD may not be optimal, it's still competent at raytracing.

But I held onto my old computer transplanting it into another case I had laying around for when I want to run those things that are too old to run on the new machine. I agree, there is no reason to choose an Nvidia card these days. AMD is cheaper and just as good. I love this new machine, but I will be honest, I'm possibly building another new machine by summer... but only because I'm coming into a decent inheritance!!! I'm hoping that AM5 will have some of it's bugs worked out and prices will have dropped giving me the impetus to build an even more advanced machine than this one. I've looked at MBs and I'd want one with at least 4 GEN 5 M.2 slots. There aren't a lot of those out there. They're either all GEN 4 or lower, or one 5 and a 4, or a 5 and multiple 4's. I've only seen one or 2 that were all GEN 5 (a minimum of 3 slots) and as I recall they were a bit pricey. I think one was $699. Maybe, but then again... maybe not. In short, welcome to the AMD club. Coffee and tea will be served.

    The worst problem I ever had with AMD gpu in general is that the driver resets to default GPU tuning settings each time there is ansystem failure, so I gotta reload my profile. That's it.

    3070 was possibly doing texture compression to make up for the way they ripped off customers with too little memory. It astonishes me how stupid NVidia's customers are. They buy the card that produces fake pixels, fake frames, fake colors, and then brag. About what? What you're getting is NOT 3D. You're getting 2.8D, because most of the richness is lost by all of NVidia's cost-savings gimmicks!

Gaming with AMD is great.

    Ray Tracing is so over rated. I'm glad you said it. I've been playing Alan Wake 2 on my 7900 XTX. When I turn on RT the performance tanks. This would happen on Nvidia as well. I see no significant improvement in graphics with RT. To improve my frame rate I turn on FSR. The game is then playable, but looks significantly downgraded. I have seen some comparisons and it does seem like DLSS is slightly better looking, but to my eye, nothing is currently better than native resolution with raster graphics. I've had no major driver issues. I truly cannot see why anyone would prefer RT on with DLSS even for single player games. Maybe after 5 years from now when games can be played with better versions of RT at high res, I'll look for the best RT card. Currently, I am all raster at full resolution.

    Nvidia is still faster in blender. The thing that's holding the nvidia cards back is the small 192-bit bus. In that price range. Though they make great 1080p cards even with path tracing. There isn't much that I have fomo for with amd cards. For what I do with nvidia cards. Amd still don't have enough support for what I do. That amd feature I was excited about is useless now unless maybe its single player. No anti-lag buddy.That was the only reason I would consider to use amd with multiplayer games. Frame gen single player too. Unless its implemented into multiplayer games. Why not. It should be you want it you got. Don't care what brand. Ray tracing. I run ray tracing on mid range current cards. I have a 4070. Still run ray tracing. But at 1080p. Still get good frames. What you want blu ray quality or 4k ultra blu ray. That's the way I see it. The argument for 1440p is questionable. Especially for entry level cards between $200 to $500. I would barely consider a 7800 xt a mid range card. Same with both the 4070 cards. I would consider a rtx 4080 a solid 1440p card. Same with the 7900xt. Both entry level 4k at this point. As always even with the highest end cards. Those would be the 1440p kings. And decent 4k cards. Otherwise upscaling all the time. To pretend the 7800 xt is amazing 1440p card as well with the 4070 non ti or ti. I saw one guy say that the Alan Wake is a bloated game at just about 1440p no upscaling with a 7900xt. Max settings no ray tracing. He demanded 120fps in that game. I would agree that Amd still has better color range then nvidia. Ray tracing is playable with the newest cards pared with the newest games. At lower then expected resolutions. It always was that way. SInce Ray tracing was hitting the main stream with the 20 series nvidia cards. With a fair level of upscaling. People have weird expectations with gpus in general. Is amd a better value then nvidia yes and no. That's my opinion. I would still use nvidia because its better with heavier ray tracing and better in blender still. Though again the bus width really dictates what resolution is good those mid range gpus. You have to be more aggressive with dlss at 1440p. That's both the 4070s just because of the bus width. With performance DLSS. I can achieve similar results at 1440p on a regular rtx 4070 compared to a 7800 xt. Same rt medium settings. With very strong exception. I had frame generation to achieve the same results. Ultra performance dlss with rt over drive to achieve similar minimum above 50fps 1440p. Conclusion. You have to use performance or ultra performance with frame gen. To achieve the same minimum FPS with a 4070. The cheaper one to be in parody to the 7800 xt. The weakness I believe is the lower bus width of the nvidia gpus. That goes for anything under a rtx 4080. But I can still do ray tracing at playable frame rates. Even with the latest mid range nvidia gpu. So i argue you are right to some extent. But also wrong to some extent. Its a give and take. Do I regret getting a rtx 4070 with the regular pcie power connection. No. Do I want more yes. But even with my 3090 for my workstation 24gb isn't enough for what I do in blender 3.6 and above. Would I buy an amd card or even intel. Its quite there yet to give up nvidia. Especially with Ray tracing frame by frame with blender or real time in a video game or other applications that supports it. This comment is so long. Sorry. I doubt anybody would read this.
