Hey all,
In the market for a GPU, would like to use Bazzite, mostly a Steam user with some SteamVR (rare), and have run into nvidia issues with Bazzite and a 3070 previously.
With the recent news on nVidia’s beta drivers and Plasma’s sync support in beta, I’m newly on the fence about switching to AMD given nvidia having a better performance to cost ratio, the power usage (big one for a compact living room system), and the fact that they have the potential for HDMI2.1 support which AMD doesn’t have a solution to yet.
What are community thoughts? I’ll probably hold out for some reports on the new drivers regardless, but wanted to check in with the hive mind.
Thanks!
I feel like this is gonna be the year of the nvidia linux gamer. Nvidia is noticing us.
I think Nvidia is noticing Microsoft killing it’s OS for gamers and enthusiasts, and is worried AMD will overtake them when people switch to Linux.
I sure hope so because I was gonna spend my tax refund on an AMD GPU and then medical stuff happened. :'(
