Is AMD really that much better? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hey everyone,

I'm currently rocking a 3080 I bought second hand in my Arch Linux rig. It works great under xorg but not so much wayland. There are a number of bugs and gaming performance is worse. I would like to use wayland in general for the mixed refresh rates with dual monitors. My question is: Is AMD really that much better than Nvidia? Is the AMD experience issue free with wayland? Also, how is hardware encoding with AMD? I'm particularly curious how performance is for game streaming with sunshine. I currently use nvenc hardware encoding which is amazing and feels like there is no latency. Does AMD have a similar experience?

Thanks!

No issues gaming with a 5900x/6800xt but I cannot comment on streaming. I really enjoy not having to install the additional NVIDIA drivers anymore. Encoding works well with Openshot and OBS(local screen captures)
