If you don't care about ray tracing, AMD is just better. The Wayland experience is completely issue-free and the extra VRAM really helps with Proton because DXVK/VKD3D usually consumes more memory. I had Nvidia for 10 years, then I carefully tried AMD and I'm not going back, thinking of buying 7800/7900 XT now. I was worried about OBS and encoding because I do let's plays and it's not so good but I found out that if I encode the video via Ryzen integrated GPU and play the game on the dedicated GPU, I can achieve excellent quality with great performance. VAAPI gets overloaded easily if a single GPU is doing both gaming and encoding but my Ryzen 7600 iGPU does a great job, I think I even achieved better quality/performance with AMD than what I had before with NVENC.
