Nvidia or AMD? - ENB Compatibility

So I'm buying a new graphics card, either a AMD RX480 or Nvidia GTX 1060.

Now I tend to mod my games like Fallout, GTA, Skyrim etc... and I know that ATI/AMD cards have had issues with ENB in the past.. it this still the case?

Re: Nvidia or AMD? - ENB Compatibility

Boris cannot debug AMD specific issues, so if there is an issue, it's unfixable. I've always taken Nvidia because of this and never had an issue that couldn't be resolved. Your call but if you want to use your video card mostly for ENB, I say Nvidia.

Well, yes, NVidia is better if you don't want unfixable problems with the mod installed. And as i heard several months ago, AMD business is going very bad, so it's better to not risk, nobody knows how long they can release drivers.

I don't think AMD is doing THAT bad... from what I've seen, RX480 actually beats GTX 1060 in some games with DX12, Vulcan, and that "synchronous compute" stuff and it's cheaper, BUT I'll buy NVIDIA just for ENB :)

Thanks for the recommendation people!

It doesn't matter what beats what, business is business.
