As someone who made the jump from long using Radeon to Nvidia (7900 XT > 4080 super) (Windows).
I can say that Nvidia is in the stone age... I have to use MSI Afterburner, Nvidia Inspector and other third party software to overclock the card and change the settings.
If I want to use Frame Generation, the game must support it. I can't just turn it on from the menu like in Adrenaline, (and that's really nice for some old games!)
If I want to use DLSS, the game must support it. I can't just turn it on from the menu like in Adrenaline.
Nvidia only have one DLAA if the game supports it, and one stupid DLSS which is slightly better as a visual.
Yes, Nvidia is a bit more power efficient right now, but if I start to care about 2-5$/month - then I shouldn't buy a 4080 card to begin with...
Regarding drivers... If I want maximum performance for benchmarks, I need to check which Nvidia driver will give me the best and reinstall for the specific benchmark/game.
I don't want to talk about using a widescreen monitor and setting unsupported resolutions/scales for benchmarking
Oh yeah, if I do a bad clock and the driver crashes - the Nvidia driver picks up very quickly, no 30 sec. wait on a black screen like Radeon - so cute...
Regarding game driver support - maybe Nvidia is faster, but in most cases both depend on game developers.
So dear Nvidia fans - just stop. Using an Nvidia card may be even harder than Radeon.
