AMD Claims Higher FPS/$ Radeon GPU Value Over NVIDIA Offerings
Frank Azor, Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions & Marketing at AMD, has posted an interesting slide on Twitter, claiming that AMD Radeon products possess higher FPS/$ value than NVIDIA's graphics offerings. According to the slide, AMD Radeon graphics cards are the best solutions for gamers looking at performance per dollar ratings and performance per watt. This means that AMD claims that Radeon products are inherently higher-value products than NVIDIA's offerings while also more efficient. As the chart shows, which you can see below, some AMD Radeon cards are offering up to 89% better FPS/$ value with up to 123% better FPS/Watt metric. This highest rating is dedicated to Radeon RX 6400 GPU; however, there are all GPUs included in comparison with up to the latest Radeon RX 6950 XT SKU.
Compared to TechPowerUp's own testing of AMD's Radeon cards and multiple reviews calculating the performance per dollar metric, we could not see numbers as high as AMD's. This means that AMD's marketing department probably uses a different selection of games that may perform better on AMD Radeon cards than NVIDIA GeForce RTX. Of course, as with any company marketing material, you should take it with a grain of salt, so please check some of our reviews for a non-biased comparison.

Sure, they added a competitive feature to Fast Sync, but can they offer the wide list of compatible games with zero tearing, all without requiring me to buy a freesync display for every monitor in the house?
"it just works"
Otherwise it’s like buying two different cars with different feature sets and comparing them in $ per miles.
The "mining specials" 3060 with that beefy 12GB multitasking ram will continue to sell until Etherium goes POS, and everything else is about even with their AMD-equivalent.
This EVGA 3050 spanks the 6500XT by 50% when on PCIe 3! (was in-stock most of the previous weekend, and will continue to be resupplied because they bypass the China lock-down.)

And there's nothing in the price of the Rx 6500 and 6400, just horrible old GPUs like the rx 550/gt 740/750 etc..
but in Europe:
Frank, not so frank?
But I can see a little truth in this. Like the RX 6600 trails the RTX 3060 by 3% but cost $100 less and can be easily found in stock. AMD GPUs currently are cheaper and much easier to acquire than Nvidia
Raytracing is more subjective, but I personally don't see much of its appeal. Also, performance tanking hard by merely turning it on is also proof of the current cards weakness. IMO, too much cost for little improvement.
Shadowplay... Well, Nvidia definitely has the upper hand there, I think. Better H264 overall, and comparable to Radeon Relive in h265. Plus it works with full screen OpenGL software, I think (Relive doesn't support this).... Pretty sure both companies have bugfixing bullets in nearly all their release notes.Also, this is variable. In some places they do, in others they don't.
Additionally, if there's no stock it hardly matters.
AMD does have the efficiency crown, though. All their RDNA2 cards are more efficient energy-wise compared to Nvidia's current offerings.
However if we talk about performance while doing raytracing, i doubt amd would be at the top there
Company A thinks they're best, wow the ego. /S :p
