Well at the level I buy at, I bought AMD for my son, and at least by 
benchmarks it's better than the NVIDIA I have and $150 less.  However 
he's saying some games still don't support it well - Indiana Jones for 
instance.  I have had some momentary FPS drops in IJ myself though, I'm 
guessing it's more loading textures as it seems to happen around 
probable transitions.

I still haven't seen him play anything other than Roblox though, so I 
don't know why he's concerned.

I'll probably go AMD next time, but I only upgrade when I run across a 
game I really want to play that doesn't play well with what I've got, so 
that might be quite awhile.  I'm running 1080p native and don't see 
enough reason to change that, and don't have any issues in any games 
that could be traced to GPU.  Since everything is cross platform and PS5 
is fairly new, I don't see that changing for a long time.
