I've been using an AMD card for years now. It's stable, works fine for every day use without problem. I'm particularly fond of the fact that the installer itself builds distro-specific packages for installation (deb, rpm, etc.). That said nVidia does outperform, especially in games. And if you don't play games the open source AMD drivers are almost good enough to make the proprietary driver unnecessary.
- tenfingers 11y agoI do not care about games. I work on visualization. Which means I do not care about little performance differences and I do not tout for a specific card or the other. I'd like my stuff to work decently on whatever I encounter. But I do care about general performance and driver quality, especially as a developer. I love the fact that i915 is always the first to get support for the latest kernel features, it's probably going to have the first usable vulcan driver, YET every time I find dozes of minor (and not so minor) regressions, to the point that I'm simply tired. The catalyst drivers were _never_ an option on linux. When it comes to development I cannot afford the system to fail on me twenty times a day just because I'm playing around. I miss the days of mach64. I hope AMD delivers.

Are there no automated unit tests for the Intel driver?
