AMD seems to finally have gotten AI upscaling right with the next 
iteration of cards, and Intel is swiftly getting better at the lower 
end, I can see the days of my trusty 2080 coming to an end within the 
next 2 years, and then it will be eitehr Intel or more likely AMD!
AI upscaling was the main reason to stick with NVidia for me, but the 
Linux support which is important for me always was a huge pain 
especially when it came to wayland, add on top the immense price hikes 
of their cards and I will leave the camp with the next iteration like I 
left Intel for AMD when Ryzen came out!
