    I want to switch to AMD but I also game in windows occasionally and it seems like the opposite experience where AMD isn't as good in windows as nvidia is. Also right now the high end AMD cards aren't as compelling compared to what nvidia is offering so it makes it harder. Hopefully the 8000 series GPUs really come in at a good price and with good performance.

    I game in both Linux and Windows with almost exclusively AMD cards (but one RTX 3090 I mostly use for ML work, but also for gaming sometimes, and one GTX 1650 Max-Q in a laptop), and the experience is basically the same between Nvidia and AMD with Windows. Driver updates are an awful process you have to go through every two or three months, and other than that, you don’t even notice a difference, day to day.

    The only difference I’ve ever noticed is that I have different options for ray tracing and upscaling between the two. Some people say DLSS is better than FSR. I say they’re both shit and make your games look bad. As for ray tracing, yeah that’s better on Nvidia, hands down. Is it worth the price hike for a comparable Nvidia card? That’s up to you.
