AMD's card are much better supported by free drivers. If you plan to use a modern distribution as a desktop, I strongly recommend going with AMD.

- jschwartzi 10y agoUnless you plan to use Steam, which still has no real support for those drivers. You can find guides to modify the LD_PRELOAD to get some stuff working though.
- madez 10y agoI'm using Steam with those drivers and nearly everything works fine. The only thing I can remember right now that doesn't is Divinity Original Sin. It is broken and the developer Larian Studios refuses to fix it.
- jbmorgado 10y agoUnless you want to use your desktop for anything else but gaming, then you will have to go NVIDIA.
- madez 10y agoI'm gaming, and it works fine. I actually had a newer NVIDIA card, and replaced it with my older AMD card, because the AMD one worked better.
