Never buy Nvidia.
Never buy Nvidia.
Updated November 2025 It seems AMD's cards generally out perform Nvida cards based on lowest prices.
A RX9070XT can be had for nearly half the price of a GTX4070Ti Super, with the RX card delivering slightly better benchmark performance.
Ray tracing aside.. The only Nvida GPUs that seem worth buying are the 5090 or 4090 cards as these cards do provide significantly better performance at a higher price.
My GTX 2070 and 2080 cards from a few years ago don't even make the list, but I don't really play any games released in the last decade anyway.

I just got a used 7700xt for Christmas, specifically because of the rising costs being a major concern. 2070 super still hunts and will remain a valid backup for the household. But Nvidia acts funny on Linux and I wanted AMD drivers. Plus the performance gains are a nice bonus.

I still don't understand why any graphics card costs more than $500. Scamcoin did a number on the prices but ASUS wants $3500 for the 5090. There is no way that can be justified.
