Hi!
new here but I’m a massive AMD fan.
would purchase AMD above all everyday.
quality and price is excellent and just love the brand!
massive fan!
radeon rx 7600 xt
ryzen 9 7900 x3d
Price and performance, i pay more to buy a better product that doesn't need fsr/dlss at the resolution i play at, and dollar per dollar AMD wins that battle
I purchase based on price to performance mostly, but I do have a small bias towards AMD from my first computer being an Athlon XP machine and during my childhood I really wanted a high end system with an A64.
The brand and reviews
With so many computers on my home network, it's a never-ending task to keep them current with the latest AMD video cards and processors. I only build AMD computers, mostly because I don't like the marketing practices of the other GPU and CPU manufacturers. I also get more bang for the buck with AMD components.
Good luck to everyone. This would be a nice video card to win!
Intel and Nvidia's shenanigans influenced me to go full AMD with this build. It was clear that if left without a check, they would both fleece us into oblivion. Price v performance, AMD was good value. I also wanted to keep AMD in the game by throwing my $ their way.
All the above
As a long time AMD processor user and collector, I decided a long time ago to choose AMD components as much as possible. The reasons have been good performance, quality, and features at a good value. My satisfaction with these factors has established product loyalty, such that AMD is generally my first choice.
Price: AMD often offers competitive pricing for their products
I choose AMD because you make the best gaming CPU's on the market! And price to performance cant be beat.
AMD offers best price to performance ratio on the market !
Price to Performance!
Price, Performance, Reputation and Brand is why I buy AMD
Way back when I was running an Intel 7700k setup when AMD launched AM4. I was doing more video editing/re-encoding workloads that would benefit from having more cores and wasn't really into PC gaming at the time
Soo .. I traded my 7700k setup for a Ryzen 7 1700 and ASUS B350 Prime Plus... and haven't looked back
My second AM4 board and every motherboard since has been ASRock AM4 and now AM5 units.
over the years I've ran:
1700
2200g x 2
2700x
3400g
3600
3700x
3800xt
3900x
5600x
5800x
5900x x 2
7600 x 2
7800X3D
7950x
8600g
..between myself, my wife and daughter and my AM4 now AM5 based server running various ASRock motherboards
GPUs?
ATi 9800 pro
R270x x 2
RX 550 2GB
RX 570 8GB
RX 580 4GB
RX 590 8GB
5700xt x 2
RX 6700xt
RX 6800
7900XT
..are the ones that I remember. I've ran other ATi cards way back when, just can't remember what they were
All my AMD setups have been solid and great performers for their intended uses.
I did have a used R270x die on me that could have been from running an inadequate power supply
I had driver timeouts on my wife's RX 550 card that was due to an inadequate power supply. Issue resolved once the PSU was replaced with a larger better quality unit
Any other issues I've had were self induced from over tweaking something .. usually my memory
AMD's offerings just seem to be the better value/bang for your buck as a whole
Price and performance, and if it's a 2 fan card that fits in a smaller case.
Price and performance
Price to performance every time.
AMD has always been very reliable for me. That and the prices are always reasons for me to prioritize their products over the rest 😙.
For me its the price for performance. AMD offers much more for the same if not lower amount of price, good example is the 7800x3d. It beats almost every cpu on the market in terms of gaming.

Price and performance but also have to factor in any rewards points I've collected.
Price, performance, reliability, reputation, and a great track record are all reasons why I choose AMD!
The price to performance is enticing. But also with parts getting more expensive I want to invest wisely and not have to worry about products failing (cough cough team blue).
Price, performance
Performance and price are important but the longevity and upgrade paths for the platform is huge. Being able to just drop a new cpu into a motherboard for multiple generations is awesome.
AMD offers a solid set of features at good value. Have built 5600x/6600, 5600X3D/6800 and 7800X3D/7900XT systems over the last few years and have been very happy with my PC builds. Love seeing AMD continuing to make advancements in their software and hardware. Reality is that I have had an exceptional experience with them overall, so I'm very excited to see what AMD dies next.
Does* next
I think you can edit your own posts for typos and miss-spellings? Word, confirmed!
I have picked AMD CPUs because they have the best cost-to-performance in gaming and they are easily upgradable for multiple generations. Not to mention all the best gaming handhelds use AMD processors.
I generally buy for value, most bang for the buck. But, if there is a specific game or application that I want to use, then I will make sure my purchase is compatible. AMD already has an established reputation, so reliability is not an issue.
Been building with AMD for over 20 years because it's the best bang for the buck. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
when I first started building my own pc it was AMD mainly because the price, had no idea about what performance was, now with ryzen its a game changer best of both worlds.
ultimately, i like upgrading, and the amd motherboards tend to offer a better upgrade path than intel lol
Hi, price to performance and more VRAM.
All of the above
For GPUs, mostly price and VRAM capacity in a given performance category, particularly in the mid-range. If you want 16GB, the closest Nvidia equivalents are usually $100 - $200 more. Intel Arc is more competitive, but I don't buy GPUs to beta test drivers.
For CPUs, the overall cost is often closer, but platform longevity, power consumption and V-Cache bias me toward Ryzen.
Been an AMD fan for years. Athlon XP, FX4100, Ryzen 5 5600X and current Ryzen 9 5900X. GPU's from R7 200 series, RX6700 XT Gaming X, Nitro+ RX6900 XT SE and currently AMD RX7900 XTX. The value for money has always been the reason i have used AMD over the years. The only downside of late has been some disastrous drivers.

We should support those who go the extra mile. It begins with a step, yours and mine, together! Whatever your hands do, do to the best of your abilities! AMD continues to innovate! Keep up the good work! The company we keep is more important than the hardware/software! Accomplishments make better relationships! I see a future more than just Users, but of Friends! We are all connected! Lead by example like AMD!
High performance for a good price
