That one stung XD. I went with an AMD GPU in 2023 after only owning Nvidia for decades. I went with AMD because I was not satisfied with the amount of Vram Nvidia offers and I did not want burning power connectors. Overall it's stable and works great. There are some bugs here and there, but zero regrets.
No shame in that; AMD and Nvidia traded between 'optimal buys' forever. There were times where buying AMD was not the best idea, like with how amazing the Nvidia 900/1000 series was while AMD Vega was very expensive.
Others, it wasn't obvious at the time. The old AMD 7000 series was pricey at launch, for instance, but aged ridiculously well. A 7950 would still function alright these days.
This market's such a caricature now though. AMD/Intel are offering these obvious great values, yet being looked over through pure ignorance; I can't remember things ever being like this, not all the way back to Nvidia Fermi at least.
