Hopefully, Polaris and Zen are going to be massive improvements.
But even current cards like the Fury look fine, especially if you consider DX12 and Vulkan performance. nVidia just spent a lot of money on optimizing the drivers for DX11.
About recording & streaming — that's not just a software feature, that's dedicated video encoding hardware on the cards. nVidia heavily pushed their own software that uses the hardware, but AMD were the first with the hardware itself, according to Wikipedia:
> Video Coding Engine was introduced with the Radeon HD 7900 on 22 December 2011
> [NVENC] was introduced with the Kepler-based GeForce 600 series in March 2012
- lettergram 10y agoIn general Nvidia makes a superior product, but it really depends what you are talking about [1]. The new Nvidia 980Ti has the best power/price at the moment. However, AMD is increasing power efficiency and being competitive, competitive enough that I buy their GPUs because they work (or did) better with Linux. With the new GPUs I anticipate them being even more competitive if not outright better for the power/price and power useage. [1] http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
