RTX 4000 vs RX7000 series GPUs

Hi folks,
I'm looking forward to upgrading my Resolve rig in Q4 this year and was wondering if Nvidia is still far and away the best choice for resolve? It seems like AMD are going to take the efficiency crown this year but I remember last gen testing cards in SFX and Fusion and something about the architecture of Nvidia cards made them far and away faster.

I prefer AMD as a company, and their next gen cards (computex today!) look incredible - but at the end of the day I just want raw resolve FX and fusion power.

I think NVIDIA is (at least at this stage) considered the better option for quite a number of reasons.

Power draw might be a point in AMD's favor but when it comes down to the onboard encoders NVIDIA seems to win hands-down. I also notice (anecdotally) that there seem to be fewer issues with machines that have a GPU from the green team than those with AMD cards.

Of course until we see the next gen actually out there in the wild and tested I won't be placing any bets. A lot can happen in a single generation of GPU development.

Really just depends on what card you get. If we're talking 4090/ti. Unless you have the cash to blow probably won't be worth it. Power is going to be quite the draw (get it). I'd never go AMD. Even though I have a 6600XT simply because it was the only card available at decent price a few months ago. AMD's drivers are still trash and not getting any better. I get random driver crashes in Resolve once in a while. If the 4080 is priced decently might be a consioderation.

You loose NVENC and AI options in Resolve. For me AMD is no alternative.

Oh I have witnessed such a Nvidia driver crash the world has never seen. Not BMD though but After effects and exr. So the talk about that AMD drivers are s**t and Nvidia are heavenly is fanboyish talk.

Nothing crashes on my AMD RX580 not did I find a RTX3060 superior in AI operations, given that the latter is supposed to be mighty faster.
