A surprising number of Nvidia users seem to live in an alternate universe where Nvidia GPUs are self-evidently the only "serious" option and only an idiot would bother with anything else. In their case I think they might honestly believe that Nvidia is the 800-pound gorilla in the GPU market, to the point of everything else being on the margins. Perhaps it simply doesn't even occur to them that Nvidia could ever resemble an annoying rump faction more than a glorious leader.

Unfortunately AMD gpus are not supported on OSX, so if you want to dual boot OSX/linux you are forced to chose nvidia because of Apple.

  Wondering if you could clarify what you mean here? All current Macs that have discrete graphics use AMD GPUs, so they are definitely supported by macOS - or are you talking about Hackintoshes?

    Oh, sorry. I wasn't aware of that. Yes, I was talking about hackintoshes that don't have AMD support for some reason. Specifically I was talking about this hardware guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/october/2017/#Graphics_Cards https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/october/2017/#Graphic...

  I’ve got six Macs sitting within arm reach that disagree with you. Heck, my desktop Mac Pro has both Nvidia and AMD GPUs and both run without issue.

  You mean Hackintosh?
