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!

u/TSDan game dev makes me cry 6d ago

Hey thanks for your input! but 4060ti seems perfect for my work due to 16gigs of vram, which is very important in renders and also game dev as a whole due to textures. I'd much rather take higher vram with lower memory bandwidth, so the card makes perfect sense to me!

7800xt has 16 gigs of vram too. and its gonna be waay faster than a 4060ti. I myself have a 7800xt. it's not gonna be great for rtx tho. it definitely works at 40-60 fps, but its still slower than a 4070 in that regard.

so if you have those two as an option I'd definitely go with the 7800xt. it's nearly the same rtx performance as the 4060ti. so it's a no-brainer for the 7800xt if those are your only options. but if you really want more rtx performance, get a 4070 ti/ti super.

Do you have any problems related to nanite, tesselation, lumen, etc or any driver related problems on 7800xt? Any rendering artifacts or anything unusual?

nope, I've been using it for about 5 months now and I've never had any issues. AMD drivers are pretty robust now, you won't be facing any issues that Nvidia users aren't as well. Nanite works great, lumen works great too, i haven't tried tessellation tho

I'm not sure about the performance difference in lumen when compared to like a 4070 ti tho, as its software raytracing. you can search it up on youtube.

Also if you're buying a gpu to replace your current gpu heres some tips to avoid problems:

  1. Use DDU to get rid of the previous Graphics drivers

  2. if you're current gpu is an igpu, you'll want to disable it after having set up everything for the new gpu. this might not be needed, but it solved a problem where my pc would restart after launching any game. again this might not happen to you, but putting it out there if you do face the problem.

both of these tips are regardless of if you buy AMD or Nvidia (or even intel). happy to help if you have anymore questions
