As a TPU follower for quite some time, long before becoming a member, I've personally not seen bias towards one brand or the other.
However, have seen a few that does, when I do, may read a review, will take it with a grain of salt.
The cool thing about TPU is it's wealth of information, just by opening the GPU-Z app & clicking 'Lookup', there's the specs in full, as well as (sometimes) a review, that's how I stumbled across this discussion, and a few others. caught my eye. Doesn't matter if AMD or NVIDIA, as well as integrated graphics, the details are in front of the screen to read.
TBH, I don't care which side wins the battle, because in the end, this means more choice for us at lower pricing. Personally, I'm more of a NVIDIA fanboy when it comes to GPU's.....however if I were building a new PC & had the funds, would take the better of the two cards (soon to be three if Intel is serious), regardless of brand. That's why (likely) am leaning to a Threadripper build next year, costs far less than Intel, may be 10% slower under certain loads, yet the price differential would nearly net one of these killer GPU's. Plus the many PCIe lanes, to me, 60 is a dream come true!
BTW, while this isn't my best rig, just got a killer deal on a GTX 670 ($65 shipped) & will be playing with it for a few days, to ensure I didn't get ripped off, so far, so good! I like both new & older hardware, there's some great GPU's on eBay with lots of life left, however with these, prefer NVIDIA over AMD. Costs less, uses less power at the AC socket & delivers great bang for the buck.
