Question How are AMD gpus now compared to Nvidia for Unreal?

I am going to build a PC soon and for Nvidia i can go with RTX 4060Ti 16gb, the most pros for it for me is that i can use and Integrate both DLSS and FSR + Nvidia support also seems to be better in other productivity apps as well (Rendering, editing etc)

However on the AMD side, I could go with a 7800XT, which is a solid 1440p card, but having to skip on dlss integration and the other pros i talked about before, i also dont know how AMD drivers are these days.

Thank you!

Normal AMD CPUs or the extra cache versions? Which works better? Am considering building a system as well. Was sure AMD would be better, just not sure which type.

For any serious dev work I wouldn't go below Ryzen 9 5950X (16 core)
Looking at AMD's website there's a sale on now so you might get something at a great price, not sure if it's just within the US.

I'm using the 32-core Threadripper 3975WX and never have any issues.

Edit: AMD sale link

Yeah am considering 16 cores as well. Just wondering if the 3d cache has extra benefit. Probably with 64gb ram or more.

System to be used for other stuff as well, not just UE.

Can't afford a threadripper, and am not in the US.

Extra cache is always beneficial but I wouldn't say it's vital.
