Really depends on the generations and particular product. Also the game to a certain extent.

But I'm very happy with my AM5 / RTX4000 combo. Value for money is on the AMD GPU side though.
 
i7 8700
32GB RAM
1050ti

Still does everything required of it, GPU is finally this year starting to see games that hate it but..... huge backlog so that's fine.
 
AMD Ryzen 5900x + AMD RX480 - work
Intel i5-12400 + nvidia 3070 Ti - gaming

No, at one point I was going to go team Red, but since socket types are seemingly going to be driving e-Waste I've opted to go with Intel, yet might still change. I've been team Blue for the last 20 years, maybe a change is warranted, but I wish they'd stick with the new(ish) sockets a bit longer.

Quick question to the AMD / AMD GPU crowd, is there a definite bonus to going AMD / AMD GPU? Especially with the AM5 machines?

If you mean the combo of AMD CPU + AMD GPU vs AMD CPU + nVidia GPU - the short answer is no.

The long answer is nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

It just depends on the components themselves, but there is no benefit to having them both be the same manufacturer, besides being able to set red RGB instead of trying to mix red + green RGB.

Oh okay, I was sure I heard on one of the youtube main tech channels that the AMD CPU / GPU has some ability to voltron with their memories or **** like that - but it might have been speculation on their part.
 
Still running my i7 9700k
RTX 2080 Ti
32 GB DDR4 3200

No real issues with performance on new games yet and the card pretty much still out preforms anything on the cheaper range.

OK apart from KSP 2. Some rocket launches can hit you back to 16fps but it's still super unoptimized. Improved after a few patch updates but still buggy as heck.

I also thought so. Isn't the smart access memory thingy very much an AMD combo thing. Where the CPU accesses much more of the GPU ram off the bat.
 
AMD has Smart Access Memory, nVidia has Resizable Bar. It's the difference between Koffiehuis and Ricoffy. Same technology. I stand to be corrected, there may be a bit more to it, but basically no.

The new Adrenaline drivers will have a feature that will automatically overclock things for best performance, etc. But that isn't out yet and can be done manually.

I play that on my rig lol with 1060... let's just say I'm high up enough to get regular NASA presentations shared with me.
