nVidia has significantly more input lag than AMD

So the input lag difference is negligible unless when it's a same few percent with a 9900k vs whatever else. Understood.

Framerates and input lag from the signal pipeline are directly coupled, but they are of different scales. Ideally you'd minimize both, which is why a 9900k and an RTX2080Ti (or RTX Titan) would give you the best experience today.

If you want to cut back on costs there, you'll have to decide which type of lag you're more willing to tolerate which depends significantly on you and the games you're playing. The numbers are objective, but people are different.
 
Let's see if this is still the case on the new Turing Line Super, which is a redesign with revised latencies and made at Samsung on 11nm LPP. Performance should already be better at 10/15% level. This is not something which comes by sampling the best samples. It is an all new and revised Turing GPU line in fact.

So now they admitted this.

Yup, they admitted that buffering multiple frames between the CPU and GPU increases input lag. Revolutionary stuff.

I think it's more the fact they kind of scoffed at amd over introducing "anti-lag" and then provided this rebuttal

You mean the feature they’ve had and nvidia users have been using for many years?

There was even a zero pre-rendered setting that they removed a long time ago. You could still reduce it to 1 though.

Yes, they removed it because it can cause problems. So they just brought it back with a caveat.

*edit*

Just got home and tried it out, holy fuck! I can feel the difference straight away on the desktop even at 60hz! Wasn't expecting that.

Awesome!

IMO, I would get an AMD GPU if they actually offered something at least on-par with what Nvidia was offering. The issue is that AMD's best is still only somewhat on par with a 1080ti/2080, and for 4K gaming even those aren't enough.

If I were still at 1080p resolutions i'd 100% go AMD though.

I'm on a RTX2080 and still waiting for Nvidia to come out with a 4k card too... only problem is, we know AMD is going to beat Nvidia to the 4k Gaming market. Everyone knows the 2080 is about to be usurped at mainstream prices. Dropping the bottom out of the market.

That is why the 5700 is sold out, because they are so cheap.... & when Big Navi comes, your used 5700 and the new 5800 won't cost as much as a 2080ti...lol.
