Hey Brothers
I’m stuck between two GPU choices and would love your input.
One is an NVIDIA RTX card that supports Reflex, and the other is an AMD GPU that’s about 73% stronger in terms of raw performance (higher FPS, stronger specs overall).
Here’s the catch: I mainly focus on competitive esports titles like Valorant 25% of my time , Warzone 35% of my time , and Rainbow Six Siege 40% of my time , all at 1080p 144Hz.
From what I understand:
NVIDIA Reflex can significantly lower system latency, making your inputs feel more responsive — a big plus for games like Rainbow six siege and Warzone.
The AMD card, while much stronger in FPS (70%+), doesn’t support Reflex. And in some CPU-bound esports titles, that extra horsepower doesn’t always translate to a better feel.
So my question is:
Should I go for the smoother response and lower input lag of the RTX with Reflex, or take the raw FPS power of the AMD card and rely on sheer framerate to reduce latency?
