I'm curious what ways you think AMD GPUs are better? I can think of dozens of ways NVIDIA GPUs are better, struggling to think of any for AMD.
AMD is the only option for a performant GPU with reasonable open source drivers. Intel has the drivers but they don't currently offer discrete GPUs at all. nVidia doesn't have the drivers.
AMD makes it a lot easier to do GPU virtualization.
AMD GPUs are used in basically all modern game consoles, so games that run on both are often better optimized for them.
They also have the best price/performance in the ~$300 range, which is the sweet spot for discrete GPUs.
