However, even AMD’s best card was miles behind Nvidia in these benchmarks, showing that Nvidia is simply faster and better at tackling AI-related tasks.

AMD’s RDNA 3 line also held up well, but the last-gen RDNA 2 cards were fairly mediocre.
AMD VS NVIDIA TRIAL
Read the source article if you want to know all the technical details that went into setting up the benchmarks, but long story short, Nvidia outperformed AMD, and Intel Arc A770 did so poorly that it barely warrants a mention.Įven getting Stable Diffusion to run outside of an Nvidia GPU seems to be quite the challenge, but after some trial and error, the tester was able to find projects that were somewhat suited to each GPU.Īfter the testing, the end result was that Nvidia’s RTX 30-series and RTX 40-series both did fairly well (albeit after some tweaking for the latter). To compare the GPUs, the tester benchmarked them in Stable Diffusion, which is an AI image creator tool. Tom’s Hardware recently tested AI inference on Nvidia, AMD, and Intel cards, and the results were not favorable to AMD at all. This is also not the only ace up its sleeve. It’s not really an opinion, it’s more of a fact. There’s no way to sugarcoat this - Nvidia is simply better at running AI-generated tasks than AMD is right now. Image used with permission by copyright holder If we pretend that the RTX 4090 doesn’t exist, then comparing the RTX 40 Ti to the RX 7900 XTX and XT tells us that things are pretty even right now at least as far as gaming is concerned.Īnd then, we get to ray tracing and AI workloads, and this is where AMD drops off a cliff.

Although Nvidia leads the market with the RTX 4090, AMD’s two RDNA 3 flagships (the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT) are powerful graphics cards that often outperform similar offerings from Nvidia, while being cheaper than the RTX 4080. I wanted to try AMD, but it’s making it hard for me to switchįor years, the GPU landscape was all about Nvidia, but in the last few generations, AMD made big strides - so much so that it trades blows with Nvidia now. Some of our worst fears about Starfield may now be confirmedĪMD might admit defeat, but it’s for the best
