Yes and no.
Radeon RX era pre-500? It was okay.
GTX 1000? Golden era.
GTX 900 was decent.
GTX 700 was trash.
GTX 500-600 were "ok".
AMD prior to that was so bad it shouldn't even be mentioned.
I take it you didn't watch the video, and are only responding to the title.
Also I disagree with your assessment. AMD cards were not so bad they shouldn't be mentioned. As an example the Radeon HD 7000 series was quite good at the time, and far more power efficient compared to GTX 700 cards, while also being very affordable. Their drivers were lagging behind Nvidia at the time though, and were quite buggy.
Yeah I didn't.
I mainly have high disdain from AMD of that era because they kept removing mandatory opengl hack support from drivers; which in turn broke old games.
