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. |
If I'm not counting GeForce Ti 4400 back in 2002, I was ATI/AMD for the most part - until I had it enough with their drivers and went with nVidia with GTX 10 series and kept with them. But yeah, if I was upgrading now, I would be looking at AMD quite favorably again.

While you are correct about official support with FSR4, there are mods such as Optiscaler that can inject FSR4 into games that have DLSS enabled. It isn't perfect and likely won't work with every game but should work with most of the titles. Now with something like Anti-lag 2 vs Reflex, it might be a different story since Anti-lag 2 is in like 9 games where as Reflex is in like 100+ and I don't believe there is any mods that can inject it. And of course for online games, injecting mods can lead to bans so if someone uses upscaling for online games, probably best not to use any mods. But overall the point is that even if you could inject say FSR 3 into DLSS games via mods, it would still be garbage. Now Nvidia has to find something new to really sell people on their GPUs. |
To be honest, if I was in the market for new GPU, and if I saw 9070XT for $730 and 5070Ti for $825 (current NewEgg lowest available prices, both Gigabyte), and was actually willing to pay that much over MSRP...well, I'm honestly not sure if I wouldn't automatically go for 5070Ti, even if 9070XT seems to be beating 5070Ti in latest titles, even with RT on. I use DLSS often, and until FSR is widely supported, it is just more convenient to have a card with "industry standard", so to speak, even if I would love to go back to AMD. Luckily, I'm not shopping for new GPU, so in next GPU gen I think things will look much better for FSR.
But yeah, nVidia is running out of selling points.
