I'm annoyed on behalf of my friend since she has a RX 6700 XT. I picked out the parts at the beginning of 2023 because her now husband wanted to surprise her with a new computer. We went with it because it was the same price as the 3060 12gb at the time. She has no need for an upgrade as the main games she plays e-sports games, games like peak and R.E.P.O, and alot of FFXIV. Tho she hates updating drivers so she probably wouldn't mind too much.

I used to not recommend AMD cards to my friends do to not liking the Vega windows drivers when I was on windows, do to bugs I had and the terrible OpenGL performance since we played a lot of Minecraft back then and it would prevent us from playing games on Citra together.

I started recommending AMD cards again (if they where just gaming) starting with her computer because AMD resolved those issues. But now I question it since me and my friends don't upgrade computer that often and we don't all have a lot of money. We just upgraded half our GPUs from basically high school this year RX 580 4gb --> 2080ti(Does Video editing and 3D modeling), 1660 ti --> 5070 ti(just wanted to stay on Nvidia), Vega 56 --> RX 7700 XT(Me). I just recommended a RX 9070 to a friend since they want to upgrade their whole computer from high school (it can't update to windows 11 and they can't use Linux) we build for $500 with a RX 570 4gb and want it to last some time but now I question how long that card will get updates and if I should tell them to change it to a 5070 since they are still saving up for it.
