I can also go buy an intel ARC GPU with 16GB vram, for an even decenter price.
For comparable prices to above, a moderately weak nvidia (3060, 12GB), used, probably for crypto mining, so warranty probably voided even on "2nd hand warranty" brands. If you need compute cheap, used nvidia. if you want current gen gaming for the same price, amd, and with a measured attitude, intel ARC.
Reason not mentioned in the comments already there: NVIDIA has explicitly stated in the past that a lot of the graphical performance in games is expected to come from DLSS. You may have noticed that the raw power of cards is not going up as much as it used to (especially on the lower end), well NVIDIA is arguing that the performance gains will be made up by DLSS. When it was initially released it required a lot of in…
I don't and probably won't game at 4K - foreseeably. FHD here.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is this reason specific to game development?
I wouldn’t say that AMD is “doing better” than Nvidia in the gaming market but as another commenter said, their success is probably mostly due to an excellent price/performance ratio compared to NVidia. Intel is also somewhat making ground with their Arc GPUs. The key to doing well in the gaming market are good prices, and good gaming performance with DirectX and Vulkan.
Intel has been chipping at Nvidia and AMD has been pretty flat.
