It is certainly a bit of an interesting predicament. Imo most people will compare the 9060 XT 16GB vs 5060 Ti 16GB and think if the extra $80 is worth going for Nvidia. In the past I think with Nvidia's software, Ray Tracing and Ai advantage, it wouldn't be unreasonable to pay extra if you value those added features. Looking back, RTX 20/30/40 series are all getting quite a lot of the latest Ai features with some features being left for Blackwell. Where as RDNA 1/2/3 are basically getting left out. But now since RDNA 4 effectively has feature parity, why pay extra for Nvidia tax at all? Especially with all the problems and controversy surrounding Blackwell in general. If they can keep the price, I think the tides will continue to turn. They won't dominate the gpu market, especially with how little presence Radeon has in the laptop space but they can start to chip away at Nvidia's market share. |
To be fair, nVidia still has some of that edge, even with AMD now having FSR4 and improved RT performance...and I'm not talking about slight quality advantage (on average) of transformer model in DLSS4 vs FSR4, but amount of titles that support DLSS, which is at this point 700+, vs amount of titles that support FSR4, which will be ~75 till end of the year (plus FSR3.1 dll swap, which is some 70-80 titles). But if one does not care for upscaling, then yeah, nVidia cards have pretty much lost all of their advantages, bar heavy RT/PT cases. |
The biggest thing Nvidia lost is their mythical "more stable" drivers. Drivers have been terrible. Feature set, VRAM, performance comparsions are moot if you can't rely on the driver to actually run the card reliably.
