i think your plan for now should be stick with having to use the nvidia gpu and plan out an upgrade in the future to an amd card (or intel card if things have improved with those cards by that time) and if it is a prebuilt then just plan your next build ahead of time
i prefer whatever works for the tasks i try to accomplish, back in 2009 nvidia was the better option in linux, now it is amd and intel while nvidia is currently the worst (unless you do cuda stuff specifically)
I see, thank you. I'd be willing to forego DLSS (for FSR/XeSS) if AMD GPU's also weren't inferior (in a major way) in raytracing perf compared to Nvidia cards.
That's just temporarily, AMD has always been superior in CPU's so i dont doubt they will comeup with something better as nVidea soon or in near future....
I disagree with this take, raytracing can be way more transformative to game visuals than any raster perf increase at this point of 'diminishing returns'.
