I wish there was more of a focus on AMD GPUs for AI workloads. With less crippling,you test to get far better FP16 compute performance for the money, but the over reliance on CUDA often leads to AMD GPUs getting very little attention.

For driver support, with the past 2 generations, AMD has vastly improved their drivers, but one area that will need tome is the establishment of a good track record of support.

Today, you can still get new driver updates for a GTX 760.

If you’re strictly talking about gaming, NVIDIA still has the advantage in drivers, especially for older games (DX11, etc). I also think NVIDIA’s software is still better overall. Outside of gaming, one important note is any kind of ML (AI) stuff. Regular people wanting to dabble in that on the side are going to want an NVIDIA card as things are now. I say this without any love for NVIDIA, and I wish things were different, but it’s the truth.

It is awesome to see what these cards can do when overclocked, especially the VRAM overclocks.

Though One ares that I would really like to see more of is VRAM overclocking on lower end cards that are typically starved memory throughput. For example, the RTX 4060, even without a GPU overclock, benefits greatly from a simple VRAM overclock due to how far they crippled the memory interface when compared to cards with much more memory throughput.
