Not really jumping into the card debate too far, but, I will tell you that coming from the 1060 6gb going to a 2070, FOR ME, was a really good decision. The 1060 I did have to compromise on settings that I personally did not want to really compromise on, however, that being said, it was very capable. It's without a doubt the lowest card I'd recommend. These 16xx cards don't seem like a good bargain for madvr. You'd be better off with a 1070 or 1080 IMO.
As for AMD, I've no modern experience there. AMD burned a bridge with me in their 5xxx series of cards and I've not really bothered looking back as nVidia has served me well for the past many years. But, that being said, AMD is getting more aggressive so I wouldn't necessarily count them out. I do agree on hardware decoding and I believe, correct me if I'm wrong on this, that hardware encoding on AMD cards is also behind nVidia. That's not directly related to madvr necessarily, but, something to consider.
My $0.02
