Nobara OS, Arch Linux and Pop!_OS beat Windows 11 by a slim margin in fps (delta 8) in Windows native games - Cyberpunk 2077, Forspoken, Starfield and The Talos Principle II. Windows 11 wins in Rachet & Clank.

ComputerBase's testing was done on an all-AMD test rig, featuring a Ryzen 7 5800X (non-3D) and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.

Update: Windows 11 wins in one game.

Or you're like me and use Linux and value better drivers (e.g. Wayland support, no update bugs on rolling release distros, etc) over those other features.

And on Windows as well, if you're buying mid-range, you're probably not going to have a good experience with those other features, so you should go with AMD. The premium for buying Nvidia at the mid-range often isn't worth it.

Well, I don't buy midrange, personally. As I tend to use my GPU for hobbies and work, I tend to buy the best thing available on the market.

And even when I play games, I play in 4K exclusively, for the past seven years :)
