  • As long as people think they’re getting more with Nvidia

    But you do get more with Nvidia.

    I would like to get a Radeon, but I’ve also seen that 7900XTX still draws 100W just for having multiple monitors connected. My 1080Ti draws 70W with two monitors, even two 1440p monitors at 60Hz, so this was an issue for Nvidia about 6 years ago, and I think it may have only been fixed on 40 series. Maybe AMD will get there in two or three years, but that’s just another thing to catch up on.

    With my 1080Ti, I can use the Nvidia Inspector to drop this to 26W, but it does cause occasional artifacting when changing power states. I found this to be much less frequent on Windows 11 vs. Windows 10.

    The VRAM on 7900XTX looks really nice, but all of the stuff you would want it for, is more difficult to use with a Radeon, or is slower with a Radeon, or is not supported at all.

    It is obviously very difficult to compete with Nvidia but I think the absolute priority for them should be true drop-in CUDA compatibility.
