>Budget 1080p: RX 6500XT Why is RTX 3050 not here? Assuming you have an uncle who works at Nvidia who can get you that for $249 MSRP

If I'm going to do that I'll wait for the 5800X3D unless it actually ends up releasing for the $500+ everyone keeps memeing
Gavin Harris
Cause it was a paper release and they don't exist

RX 6600 vs RTX 3060 Do I lose anything of value by going with AMD here vs Nvidia? Just want a definitive 1080p card as best bang for the buck. Going to be paired with i7-4770 from million years ago so 6500xt is out of the question(pcie limitation).

I've heard in the past things that AMD's drivers are shit, or the media engine (decode/encode) is inferior to Nvidia's. Is it true? Again, Haswell CPU so HW accel media playback is kinda important here. Supposedly rdna 2 has AV1 decoding - is it good? Don't want youtube to rape my cpu in 3 years.
