2023 was the year that GPUs stood still::A new GPU generation did very little to change the speed you get for your money.

    A lot of people did this. The GPU market for gaming might have actually shrunk. You would think Nvidia would panic but due to AI chip demand their stock is at an ATH and no company changes course or reevaluates and what they’re doing when shareholders are lining up to suck their dicks, so…no end in sight. Meanwhile AMD doesn’t seem to want to even try to make a play for market share.

      Technically AMD does have more market share when you think about all the devices has AMD in them like Playstation, Xbox, steam deck and other handhelds.

      But yeah Nvidia doesn’t care about gaming anymore, If I had to pick a GPU today, I would pick AMD because Nvidia 6-8 VRAM isn’t enough and AMD is better on linux.

        If you want to do any game streaming though (e.g. on Sunshine/moonlight), Nvidia is still miles ahead.

          What are some issues AMD is having there? The sunshine pages show both AMD and Intel support now is I assumed they were gtg

            The issue is down to encoding performance, Nvidia performs a LOT better with comparable GPUs.

            With that said, h265 is okay from what I’ve seen, but any devices you’re streaming to that use h264 and even a 1060 will stream better than a 6750xt etc
