That being said, while Nvidia’s model boasts DLSS and RT tech, the 5700XT is up to $50 cheaper, depending on what you can find on the market. These days, it’s really a toss-up: newer console-first DX12 titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn and Red Dead Redemption II work better on AMD’s card, while older DX11 titles perform better on 2070. The story here is similar to the previous category, albeit 2070 initially had the upper hand against the AMD video card. For our AMD and Nvidia comparison, we’ll be taking a look at the RDNA-based 5700XT from Team Red and Nvidia’s Turing architecture offering, the 2070. Moving on to more powerful 8GB models, we are now well into 2k gaming territory and models that will definitely put a dent in your pocket.

That being said, the Radeon GPU doesn’t support ray tracing, and Nvidia’s GPU software can squeeze out extra frames through DLSS technology. AMD’s GPU generally outperforms 2060 in most titles, with the margin in some games, such as Gears of War V, being rather large.

For around $300 MSRP, you can get two powerful 6GB cards, AMD’s RX 5600 XT or Nvidia’s RTX 2060, both capable of high-FPS 1080p gaming or decent 2k performance. Whether you are an AMD or Nvidia fan, this segment has many great video cards to consider. Midrange and Entry Level Enthusiast Cards Nvidia’s GPU manages to outpace its AMD rival in most titles by a couple of percentage points, but in games that need VRAM, the 8GB version of the 5500XT fares better, so we expect it to age better in the future. Both cards cost around the same ($200-ish MSRP), draw around the same power (120-130W peak), and have roughly the same performance.

The most realistic 1080p matchup probably comes from looking at the 5500XT AMD Radeon graphics card and Nvidia’s 1660 series (non-Ti) model. Generally, AMD cards fare better in DX12 titles than older DX11 ones, though there are no hard rules. Now we’re in the territory of capable 1080p gaming video cards, so picking either Nvidia or AMD will mostly come down to which cards are available and which games you play.

While initially a fair bit behind NVIDIA’s 1660/Super/Ti series, these cards have aged pretty well, primarily due to AMD’s subsequent driver optimizations. Moving onto the more powerful hardware, AMD has the RX 570, 580, and 590 models.
You could also consider the 1650 series from NVIDIA, but these cards offer relatively poor performance with just 4GB of VRAM. It also handily beats the cheaper 3GB version of the 1060. However, the RX 480 is a fair bit cheaper, and due to its poor mining performance with just 4GB of VRAM, its current market price hasn’t gone up as much. In this AMD Nvidia matchup, the latter is the more powerful card – its 6 GB of VRAM gives it an edge in demanding 1080p content. Both AMD and Nvidia have solid contenders here, but let’s start with the sub-$200 models, such as the aging but still capable RX 480 from AMD and NVIDIA’s older 1060.
If you are looking to get a cheap graphics card for 1080p gaming or just tide over the insane GPU markups due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and microchip shortage, this is the category for you. Here we’ll be looking at the overall performance of AMD and Nvidia GPUs across the budget, midrange, and enthusiast gaming markets, trying to determine which cards are the best at any given price point. The price to performance ratio is the most important category in any GPU comparison. Which one should you pick in 2022? Is there even a clear winner? Check out our detailed AMD vs Nvidia graphics card comparison below, and let’s find out.
So, you’ve got your rig all set up, have a brand new CPU, HDD, a fancy gaming chair, and desk… all that’s left is to buy a GPU. Now that both the Ryzen 5000 series processors and the PS5 & Xbox X/S consoles are out, AMD has been able to focus on the graphics card market again, releasing the mighty 6000 series of GPUs to compete directly with Nvidia’s high-end Ampere cards. This was primarily due to the latter’s heavy focus on the Ryzen CPUs and next-gen Xbox and PS5 console architecture. While the rivalry dates back to the late 1990s, Nvidia has been consistently beating AMD in recent years. After years of having a reasonably one-sided race (especially in the high-end GPU market), the AMD vs Nvidia debate is again at the forefront of gaming discussions, thanks mainly to AMD’s rollout of the powerful RDNA 2 architecture.
