The Dark Ages and Death Stranding 2, PC Master Race Must Abandon Nvidia in 2025
The godfathers of the gaming industry are about to make a return with exciting new installments in the form of Doom: The Dark Ages and Death Stranding 2. Both of these series have had their ups and downs in the last couple of years, but they want to make a comeback against all odds.
With an undisclosed 2025 release date, it’s going to be a while before you get your hands on both these games. However, you must prepare your gaming rig to maximize the performance of these games. The best way to go about that is by picking the right graphics card, and that space is currently owned by Nvidia, not AMD.
The Hot Pick For All Games in 2025 is Nvidia Once Again
Putting Nvidia up against AMD for GPU comparison is basically looking at a constant cycle of software-based enhancements, and massive gains, thanks to the rival chip designers’ constant efforts to gain the upper hand.
However, in the last couple of years, many in the community have felt that the tide has turned in favor of AMD. It’s often been stated that Team Red’s graphics cards offer better performance than Team Green’s and are perfect for budget gaming builds that are looking to maximize performance and reliability.
Nvidia started the year with a large shift that addressed the biggest criticism regarding the pricing of the RTX 4000 Series GPUs. It released 3 GPUs in quick succession: the RTX 4070 Super, the RTX 4070 TI Super, and the RTX 4080 SUPER. All of these replace the old RTX 4000 series cards at different price tags.
While AMD didn’t directly respond to this with newer entries in 2024, it has opted for price cuts to keep RX 7000 series GPUs more competitive in the market in terms of price-to-performance ratios.
It’s clear from day one that Team Green is ahead when it comes to raw power efficiency for gaming and other tasks. If you’re someone who’s not restrained by budgets and wants to game without any restrictions in 2025, Nvidia is the correct pick.
Even in 2024, Team Green’s 4000 series brought us 3rd generation-ray tracing cores offering the fastest ray tracing experience to date. Seriously, you can hop onto any AAA games, such as Cyberpunk 2077, and witness Nvidia’s Path Tracing SDK abilities yourself.
Also, Nvidia’s DLSS 3.0/3.5 is a total game changer as it brings massive performance boosts through features such as Frame Generation and optical flow acceleration. This makes high-resolution ray tracing even better on the older generation of graphics cards. The company’s approach to DLSS also ensures that you get tightly integrated performance in games such as Minecraft RTX and Portal RTX.
Keep in mind that these benefits come with the current 4000 series. Rumors are already up in the air that Team Green is planning to bring the 5000 series to the table next year, which will take all the benefits we’ve mentioned above to the next level.
Nvidia Has Emerged as The World’s Most Valuable Company
Last month, Nvidia’s value ended up at $143.71 per share, alongside a $3.4 trillion market cap that put it right alongside Apple. The two tech-companies would switch the top spot as the world’s most valuable company.
However, reports suggest that Nvidia has overtaken Apple with a total market value of $3.54 trillion as of October 25. This surge in the company’s market value comes from it being a leader in computing parts that are used for AI development purposes.
The use of AI in the world of gaming is a polarizing topic, but the development of all the technologies behind it seems to be great for Team Green as long as it continues to deliver the best processors and other parts for gamers.
Only time will tell if Nvidia will hang on to its position as the world’s most valuable company, but considering the fact that the next generation of graphics cards is on the horizon, the future is looking bright for the company.
With that said, are you planning to pick Nvidia as your GPU for gaming in 2025? Let us know in the comments below.
