The Nvidia vs AMD debate has been going for decades. The honest answer is: both make excellent GPUs and the best one for you depends entirely on your budget and what you’re using it for — not brand loyalty.
This guide cuts through the fanboy noise and gives you a straight answer by budget tier, using real Singapore used market prices.
Brand overview
Nvidia vs AMD — the real differences
Nvidia
GeForce RTX
DLSS upscaling — genuinely game-changing at 1080p/1440p
Better ray tracing performance across the board
More consistent driver support and stability
Dominant resale value in Singapore used market
Usually more expensive than AMD equivalent
Less raw rasterisation performance per dollar at mid-range
AMD
Radeon RX
More VRAM per dollar — especially at mid-range
Better raw rasterisation at equivalent price points
RX 7000 series competitive with RTX 40 at same price
Open source drivers — better for Linux users
FSR upscaling good but still behind DLSS quality
Lower resale value in Singapore used market
By budget · Used market SGD
Best pick at every price point
At this price point, Nvidia’s RTX 3060 and GTX 1660 Super dominate the used market with better driver longevity and resale value.
Nvidia pick
RTX 3060
Solid 1080p card with DLSS support. Strong longevity.
~S$150–180
AMD pick
RX 6600
Competitive 1080p performance. More VRAM than RTX 3060.
~S$120–150
This is where AMD shines. The RX 6700 XT and RX 7700 XT offer more raw performance and VRAM than Nvidia equivalents at the same used price.
Nvidia pick
RTX 3070
Excellent 1440p with DLSS. Strong across all games.
~S$230–280
AMD pick
RX 6700 XT
12GB VRAM dominates this price range. Great 1440p card.
~S$180–220
At the top end, Nvidia’s DLSS 3 frame generation and ray tracing pull ahead. The RTX 3090 and RTX 4070 Ti are the go-to picks for serious 1440p and 4K gaming.
Nvidia pick
RTX 3090 / 4070 Ti
24GB VRAM on the 3090. DLSS 3 on the 4070 Ti. Both dominant.
~S$350–650
AMD pick
RX 7900 XT
Competitive 4K rasterisation. 20GB VRAM is a genuine advantage.
~S$500–600
Bottom line
The straight answer
Our recommendation
Under S$200 or over S$400 — go Nvidia. DLSS and ray tracing matter more at the budget and high-end tiers, and Nvidia’s resale value is stronger in Singapore.
Between S$200–S$400 — consider AMD. The extra VRAM and raw rasterisation performance at this price range often beats Nvidia’s equivalent cards outright. The RX 6700 XT in particular is one of the best value GPUs in the Singapore used market right now.
