As someone new to the building scene, what are the differences between AMD and Nvidia graphics cards? If I get an AMD card, should I also get an AMD processor?

You can mix-match processors and graphics cards as you'd like. For example, I can use a nVidia GPU on a PC with an AMD CPU. Just to take note:

  • CPU Manufaturers - AMD/Intel
  • GPU Manufacturers - AMD/nVidia

Also, it's hard to tell you the exact difference between AMD and nVidia except that AMD goes with Red and nVidia goes with Green. In terms of price to performance, AMD's card costs lesser for the same performance you'd get for an nVidia conterpart, but nVidia improves on power consumption and heat. So, it really depends on your priorities.

Do you know if there's a benefit to running both AMD processors and GPUs over comparable hardware?
