Sorry if I’m not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

    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 ~
