I just bought my first Nvidia card since the TNT2. Up to today I always looked for the most FPS for the money.

This time my focus was on energy efficiency, and the AMD cards suck at the moment. 4070 about 200w, 6800 about 300w. AMD really has to fix that.

Regarding DLSS: I activated it in control, and it looks... off? Edges seem unsharp, not all the time, but often, sometimes only for a second, sometimes longer. I believe it is the only game I have that has support for it, but I'm not impressed.

At OP: Brand loyality is the worst. Neither Nvidia nor AMD like you. Get the best value for your money.

Btw, Nvidia needed an account to let me use their driver. Holy shit, that's fucked up!

    There is a way around the account requirement. I uninstalled GeForce experience forever ago

    You don't necessarily need an account to use the Nvidia drivers, just if you want automatic updates through GeForce Experience. Not saying that's any better, in fact it's almost as shitty, just wanted to clarify.

    I just used a junk email to make an account for the auto updates.
