Nah mate, it's like you can buy normal coffee for the normal price, or premium coffee for +180% in price. Normal users won't pay for the premium coffee because they don't care about the quality difference, but coffee enthusiasts will pay the premium price for the better coffee.

Last time I bought AMD I had driver issues. The last time I bought Nvidia the capacitors exploded.

he's right, 1080p is old news.

There is literally no reason to buy Nvidia. You can't see above 60 frames per second anyway and most games these days are pixelshit or not very demanding.

Aren't you supposed to buy two 480s and crossfire them to get decent performance? So it's actually 400 dollars to get 30% worse performance than a 1070? The math works out

Two 480s makes it stronger than the 1080

The downside is this only applies in games that work with Crossfire.

I don't even know who to go with anymore. I've stuck with AMD since ~2004 after getting burned on the FX series on my PC purchase in 2002. AMD definitely had a driver edge when Vista came out, but I think the drivers are about on par now (from what I've heard). AMD had some annoying driver issues when Win10 first came out; not really with games, but particularly with Firefox.

For the price differential I think it'd be foolish to not go AMD.

As far as capacitors exploding, that's a problem that plagued much of the electronics industry from the early to late 2000s. Some dumbass stole a capacitor formula from a Chinese component manufacturer, only he stole a bad version of the formula (deliberately left as such) that omitted a key ingredient. This caused gas to build up in the capacitors, which caused them to not regulate power correctly, which caused all sorts of issues with electronics. Eventually the caps exploded, totally killing the electronics.

Re-capping a board is possible if you have soldering skills but rarely worthwhile - especially since the components that the caps sent power to may have been damaged before the failure occurs by under/overvoltage.

It's not really common anymore and a lot of mobo/component manufacturers now use solid caps.

older memes than the "AMD has no drivers meme". probably because there hasn't been anything to complain about since then.

Everyone seems to forget that the Fury came with a fucking mandatory water cooler because it was so hot while the 980Ti did fine with air.
