It hasn't locked me in, but I wouldn't switch to AMD because they don't have equivalent technology.
GSYNC was and is amazing. I bought the conversion kit and upgraded my monitor to use it before you could even get a standalone monitor with it. That was 7 years ago. AMD just recently caught up in VRR tech if you can even really say they caught up. I'm getting a LG CX OLED and AMD's new cards should be able to run it at 4k@120hz with VRR just like NVIDIA's new cards can.
Now NVIDIA has DLSS, ray tracing, rtx voice, CUDA, and all sorts of really good technology that AMD doesn't have, and the stuff that AMD does have is typically vastly inferior.
And then there's the fact that AMD's highest end cards aren't nearly as good as NVIDIA's high end cards, and that's what I buy. If AMD comes out with a new card that performs better at 4k than NVIDIA's best I would definitely consider it. But I wouldn't if it just has equivalent performance.
