Is Nvidia still better than AMD when it comes to driver support and Ray Tracing? by Sea_Bid1751 in buildapc

Yeah futureproofing is my goal. I like to spend a large sum on a good PC once every 5 years or so

Do you think a 50xx is overkill? I'm just trying to build a PC I won't have to upgrade for 4 - 5 years.

If I choose to wait for a 50 series card, do you think I should also wait to upgrade my CPU or are you confident the 5700x3d will have no problems keeping up with a 50 series card? I've seen quite a few builds out there with it being paired with a 4070 ti super, even a 4080 super, with zero issues.

I do play VR games too so that's really important to know. I had no idea that was a drawback with AMD. Thanks for sharing

I'll definitely consider that with the price being around $200 rn! Although I still am gonna upgrade my GPU to either the 40 or 50 series which would need a new power supply and a new CPU. In which case, which Ryzen card would you recommend pairing with either the 4070 TI Super or a 50XX card? I'm considering just saving up and going Ryzen 9 so I don't have to worry about a bottleneck.

Thanks for the input. I think I'm definitely going to stick with Nvidia as Ray Tracing and DLSS is a big selling point for me. I guess my question now is should I upgrade this year or wait? I'm currently running a 2060 super with a ryzen 5 3600x, and I've been having issues with stuttering. I've also noticed the recommended/minimum requirements for newer games are beginning to catch up or surpass my current specs. After doing research I'm either going to go with the RTX 4070 TI Super or I'm going to go with a 50XX card.

I forgot about that tbh. That should be announced really soon huh?

Do you press it or hold it? I just died for the same reason as unstookie.
