AMD vs Nvidia: Stutters, hitching, 1% lows and other stability issues.

[CashmereThoughts]

Hi folks.

What are your experiences with any issues, if any, with aforementioned problems mentioned?

I’m just building another PC, however,
I’m still relatively new to this, and I seem to be struggling with some terrible hitching issues with 7900 GRE, although, I had no issue with 7900XTX pulse at all which was purchased on release date, pretty much.

Would you say there is a more mature, ongoing software support for one brand or another?

Thanks for your input, in advance, guys!

Both generally stable at the moment, with minor issues with both affecting a few users. AMD has issues with shader caching in games like Overwatch, not a deal breaker, you'll just experience low fps for a minute or two when you launch the game. Not sure what would be causing the stuttering on the 7900 GRE.

If you want better RT support and are prepared to pay the Nvidia premium, go for Nvidia, otherwise, going for AMD and saving a few bucks is fine.

Just upgraded my 3070 mobile 8GB card to a 3080 mobile 16GB card to avoid just this.

I have a 3060ti, 3080 and a 7900XT...I've got no issues with drivers on team green nor team red

Of course, YMMV.

most of the sutters and hitching i experience are traversal stutter not gpu related

A new driver install can result in shader cache creation which will cause stutter in some games. This usually clears up after the shader cache has been created.

This.

Not seen any stutter on my 7900GRE, apart from what has already been mentioned, traversal stutter (dead space) or shader cache on new driver install.

Thanks for the replies folks.
Went with 4070 ti super in the end.

Check Microsoft update that can cause stutters while gaming.
