cuteycindyhoney 13,283 February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 (edited) What's wrong with my 6 year old Intel HD Graphics 4400 ? Edited February 23, 2019 by cuteycindyhoney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troblems 5,609 February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 Whichever one has the better price for the build I’m currently working on, assuming I have specific specs in mind. AMD is usually cheaper, but my laptop has an Nvidia. Either way, I don’t really care. I honestly find brand loyalty a little silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,283 February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 Um, my last post was a joke. I'm not a gamer, and the Intel HD Graphics 4400 in my desktop does fine for my writing and movie watching. LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 Wow, if you asked me 5 years ago, I'd say Nvidia all the way. Now though... While Nvidia gets better performance, I can't say I agree with their latest business practices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash In 21,511 February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 I don't necessarily have a preference. I just go with whatever is more cost efficient and leave it that. I have more experience with AMD than Nvidia, so I'll give it my vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here No Longer 5,270 February 24, 2019 Share February 24, 2019 Generally, I find AMD to be better for the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot, such as they were forced to give refunds to users for lying about the specs of one of their cards, they have jacked the prices up despite negligible performance increases, trying to cheat benchmarks, And shipping cards with insanely high failure rates.

Envy 5,999 February 24, 2019 Share February 24, 2019 Whichever one gives me the least amount of trouble! I went with an AMD card in the PC I have right now and the game I bought the darn PC for couldn't even read the thing. Makes me think I should have gone with a comparable Nvidia. But I have no real preference between the two. It's like a car to me, I don't care about any details of a car aside from it working properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envy 5,999 February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 4 hours ago, Bas said: TBH that sounds more it is the fault of the game possibly and not the manufacturer. Albeit on-rethinking...it is hard to say which of the two failed here, as the problem could lie anywhere. Yeah, it was the game. AMD cards could have been read by the game, too, they just would have had to have been older. But the reason I think Nvidia would have been a better choice is because I know Nvidia has an FPS limiter built into the program that you can turn on. AMD had nothing of the sort, and I had to download a separate program to do it. As I said, that's the only way I can really form an opinion over video card brands. To me, they just are. I don't know enough about them to make a really educated opinion, and to be honest, I don't care enough to know enough. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoFoalix 24,898 February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 For GPUs, probably Nvidia. For CPUs, I would still have to say AMD for many reasons.

Kaneki 1,072 February 26, 2019 Share February 26, 2019 I'd like to try AMD. I got the 1050 Ti I have now on the end of the Bitcoin mining craze, and since AMD cards were the more expensive of the bunch, I went with the lower tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the only two graphics card companies out there are AMD, Nvidia, and Intel (which only do integrated graphics at this moment). So if you have some kind of gaming computer, there is a good chance you've used one of them. Anyways, I have no preference. I'm using a GTX 1060 in my computer right now and it has served me quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone 1066 3,616 April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 I have used both at some point or another, but only one Nvidia to be fair, and I prefer AMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Sunsets 2,106 April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 Nvidia has better high end cards, but I think AMD is good for cheaper builds. I'm thinking of getting an RX 570 or maybe a 580 when I get the money to build a pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 22,076 January 6, 2020 Share January 6, 2020 I prefer AMD, mainly because I've used their software and hardware before and it's been reliable so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splashee 28,537 January 6, 2020 Share January 6, 2020 Oh, this is a difficult choice. ATI has always been very accurate when it comes to Windows graphics, and 2D acceleration and effects. While the 3D is somewhat slightly slower, it has always been about accuracy for Direct3D stuff. Legancy has always been key to ATI since the start. But when it comes to speed and raw power, Nvidia cannot be beaten. Nvidia is not as good as legacy and the VGA graphics from older days of PCs really suck and are slow, Windows graphics is somewhat good, but there are areas in the 2D acceleration that have been buggy and never fixed (lazy stuff). Nvidia is the best when it comes to 3D performance, and accuracy is difficult to measure. I am hoping the Nvidia isn't just making 3D faster and skipping out on rules (how the 3D looks compared to others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
