Except that most of nvidia's features are borderline gimmicks or will not have a long lifespan. DLSS will eventually die and we'll all use FSR just like it happened with gsync vs freesync. Raytracing is very taxing still for all cards in all brands to be worth it. RTX voice (just like AMD noise supression) is not something that useful (I don't even want it). What else do you have that could make an nvidia card "superior"? The only thing I can think of is that the most recent nvidia cards are way more energy efficient than amd's.
I think power draw is so close to even right now, that it's not worth talking about.
edit: yep, I was wrong.
I just checked and it's not thaaat close but yeah, it's not a deal braker. From what I saw, the 7800xt consumes about 60w more than a 4070 so nvidia's certainly better.
You are right, I checked some power draw benchmarks & it draws 45-50W more in regular gaming, it's quite shocking ~
