Nvidia or AMD?

I'm torn between Nvidia and AMD. In terms of Nvidia, they have CUDA which is good for machine learning but on the AMD side, they have completely open-source drivers on Linux which makes them work better on Linux. I want to be able to play games (probably at 1080p with a 144Hz monitor with either Freesync or Gsync depending on GPU) smoothly. I don't really have a budget in mind but I'd like to know what my options are.
 
Are CUDA cores or Linux important to you? I’ve used plenty Nvidia GPUs on Linux and it’s fine.
Yeah CUDA was one of the big things. I've been told it is much better to go Nvidia because of this. I guess the question now is which Nvidia GPU is the right choice. The 4070Ti is the most I have to spend in terms of budget so if there is something better or cheaper let me know.
