I'm neither smug nor a liberal. I'm simply tired of repetitive, dumb and US centric political memes. Lemmy started out sort of ok but it's turning into a very annoying place.
I just checked and it's not thaaat close but yeah, it's not a deal braker. From what I saw, the 7800xt consumes about 60w more than a 4070 so nvidia's certainly better.
Except that most of nvidia's features are borderline gimmicks or will not have a long lifespan. DLSS will eventually die and we'll all use FSR just like it happened with gsync vs freesync. Raytracing is very taxing still for all cards in all brands to be worth it. RTX voice (just like AMD noise supression) is not something that useful (I don't even want it). What else do you have that could make an nvidia card "superior"? The only thing I can think of is that the most recent nvidia cards are way more energy efficient than amd's.
The reason nvidia has the r&d budget it has is because you buy their cards. AMD is just now matching them on that but they used to have about half the resources.
I know how Lemmy works. You're the one who said "this instance".
