AMD has been in trouble for years. Their raster performance is fine, however, their features are not on par with Nvidias and overall performance across many games tends to favor Nvidia bigtime, especially if you look at lesser popular titles, early access titles and betas. Nvidia always have launch driver ready. AMD mostly don’t.
Nvidia software team and engineers are simply way more people. Nvidia spends a ton on R&D. AMD don’t really. Their GPU business is not that important to AMD. They mainly wants to sell CPUs and APUs.
They bought ATi to get better at GPUs in general, for use in APUs or do custom APUs like PS5/XSX. They never meant to chase high-end like Nvidia does and AMD don’t have the funds to compete at this level. This is why they are years behind on features and RT perf. They have been playing catch up for years.
I don’t hate AMD. I use AMD CPU (7800X3D). However I use RTX 4090 because AMD don’t really have a GPU that makes me interrested. Besides, I love to use DLAA and DLSS if RT is used. FSR is inferior to DLSS and AMD has no answer to DLAA.
I also like Reflex and DLDSR depending ongames. AMD has no answer either. VSR is not even close to DLDSR (which uses tensor cores to limit the performance hit and DLSS can be applied on top). Anti Lag + is as close to Reflex you will get and this got 1000s of people banned in CS2 lately and AMD pulled the feature in driver.
So yeah, AMD is not doing that well in the dGPU market, regardless of what people think.
Nvidia dominates Gaming GPUs, Enterprise and AI GPU market.
Would I want AMD be more competetive? Yeah sure, but they can’t afford too. They need to focus on low to mid-end markets and this is exactly what they will do with RDNA4 in 2024. No high-end SKUs at all.
