AMD vs Nvidia 2021: which makes the best graphics cards?
#1
Quote:The Nvidia vs AMD battle rages on, both still vying for that best graphics card title. But, that’s a good thing – at least for us consumers. This edge-of-our-seats competition between the two manufacturers means that we’re getting better and more powerful graphics cards at more affordable prices year after year.

In fact, this Nvidia vs AMD graphics war has never been hotter. Nvidia has just launched its Ampere graphics cards and AMD, fresh off launching some of its Big Navi Radeon RX 6000 cards, is now getting ready to launch a new Radeon RX 6000 GPU later today, hopefully to give consumers another affordable gaming GPU in the mid-range sphere.

With all these compelling offerings from both sides, however, it can be extremely confusing to decide which manufacturer to give your money to. Besides, nobody actually needs the graphics card discourse, but people do need a reliable graphics card for their needs.

So, we’ve put the two manufacturers – and their offerings – side by side to see which one has an edge over the other in terms of pricing, performance, and features. Hopefully, when all is said and done, you’ll have made your decision as to which team to go with.

Price:

Traditionally, AMD has always been known as the more affordable brand of graphics cards, and that's true to this day... to a point. Right now, especially in the mid-range, AMD has graphics cards like the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which provide excellent performance at the $199 (about £150, AU$280) price point. If your budget is around this level, AMD's generous helping of VRAM here means that you're getting much better performance in higher-spec games than Nvidia's equivalent GTX 1650 can offer.

Once you start going up the price stack, things change, however. If you look at the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super, for instance, you're getting basically equivalent performance at the same price either way, but you're getting a more robust feature set with the Nvidia card – including ray tracing and DLSS.

These two graphics cards end up trading blows in a lot of games at 1440p, which is usually a sign of a healthy market. However, without DLSS, Nvidia gets a huge performance bump in titles that support the technology, making it hard to recommend the Radeon RX 5700 XT, unless it performs better in the specific games you're into.
