Doom maker claims nvidia outperforms amd on graphics cards by providing better drivers

For many years, the graphics card market has seen two main contenders: Nvidia and AMD. Initially, Nvidia offered more powerful hardware at a higher price, while AMD focused on low-budget gamers, offering different packages.

But currently, both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards are closely matched, at least as claimed by famous developer and creator John Carmack, who spoke on Twitter about the old rivalry. However, Nvidia is better than AMD, according to Carmack, since Nvidia card drivers and software have consistently outpaced AMD's offerings.

"On a hardware level, AMD is usually as good as or even better than Nvidia, but Nvidia's drivers are consistently superior, " he wrote on Twitter.

AMD is expected to take advantage of the fact that its hardware is powering the new generation consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, to improve the performance of its graphics cards, as it is forced to invest greater efforts in optimizing its drivers.

Many of you might agree with Carmack, at least in part, but the truth is that while AMD seems to offer better performance per dollar than Nvidia, we cannot deny the fact that optimizing its drivers has always been its heel. Achilles. AMD takes a long time to deliver its drivers with minimal bugs . For its part, Nvidia sometimes has problems with its drivers, but tends to fix them faster than AMD.
