Well I don't buy AMD because of the multi monitor watt usage (7900XTX uses 50 watts)
When people want to drown, they can do it in a small cup...that will or maybe was fixed with a driver update, but said that, 50 watts could translate to around US$2-3 a month.
and lack of features in general.
Which features?
Do you mean DLSS, CUDA and other tools that are made by nvidia to exactly kill competition and keeping you prisoner to their hardware?
I dont know about you, but anti-consumer practices like those are the reason why I do buy AMD.
when it comes to features and RT perf, they are far behind.
Man, the RT nonsense is really tiresome.
First, how many games are currently listed in Steam in total?
How many of those have RT in a useful, well implemented way that will make every single gamer want to excuse the performance hit included by enabling RT?
Does that performance hit really improve gameplay that much? No, it doesnt.
We are easily, at least 4 more gens away from having capable hardware and games that are worth the RT performance hit.
In my book, that time will be when I can buy a GPU that will run all the RT nonsense at 4K@120 fps and it cost around US$400 to 500.
But hey, no need to continue hammering this nail in, since its clear that many, many people will find whichever excuse they can to continue giving nvidia money.
