| green_sky said: EA recently said their frostbite games are going to be optimized for AMD cards. The results have not been always great as ghost_of_fazz pointed out despite games like Bioshock Infinite being optimized for AMD. Here is early Battlefield 4 (alpha) benchmarks. I know this is still alpha so lot more work remains to be done. Nvidia seems to be doing bit better.

There is a lot more to this story than it looks.
AMDs 7970 tends to be the king under 400 dollars, even sometimes beating the newly released GTX 770. Once you start overclocking, there is no contest as AMDs overclock much better
Use case can be made for both manufacturers.
Nvidia:
-Better framerates at SLI (2 or more graphics together) with much less stuttering
- most powerful single GPU if money is no object
- supports cool technologies like 3D vision and Nvidia Shield PC streaming handheld
- uses less power and runs quieter
AMD:
- Better performance per $$ at virtually any price point under 400 dollars
- tends to bundle awesome games with their cards
- more flexibility for 3D, eyefinity and crossfire solutions
People will say drivers are better for one or then other but it really depends on the game and different setups.
