I've always been an Nvidia graphics card user, and I don't know anything about AMD. I have some questions about switching over. (lemmy.one)

I have the following questions about AMD:

  1. If I want to switch to an AMD GPU, do I need to change my motherboard? Or do all motherboards work with both AMD and Nvidia GPUs?
  2. Do I need to buy an AMD CPU as well? Or can I use my existing Intel CPU with an AMD GPU?
  3. How does the AMD GPU naming convention work? More specifically, what is AMD's equivalent of the RTX 4070? (I want to get a 4070 but I figured it would be a good idea to research AMD's options)

However, if you can handle those downsides and just need to play traditional raster games, please please buy the AMD card and do not feed Nvidia’s idiotic greedy monopoly machine. Jensen is smoking crack and the last thing anyone needs to do is feed that man’s overinflated head more fucking cash.

Most of what you wrote seems fine, but I don't agree with this, since we're seeing, that AMD is not much better than Nvidia, and will try to fuck over consumers as much as possible themselves.

Unless OP needs a new card right now, I'd recommend waiting as well.
