In my experience you cannot tar amd and nvidia with the same brush regarding linux drivers. I have been running fedora with a nvidia card for a couple of years. The open drivers have been unusable for me. Crashing the system at random - often mid installing the proprietary drivers, corrupting the display server (I got quite handy with dnf history rollback). The proprietary drivers have been made mush easier to install the last releases. But the same machine with windows gave way better performance. I recently bought an amd card. I just pop'ed in the card, booted the machine and the mesa drivers included with fedora worked without a hitch. The only thing I had to do was install vulkan to play f1 2017, other than that it has been plug'n'play with good performance.
