If you want to run at 1080p@60hz perhaps, but many people now are going to 1440p, 2160p, 144hz or some combination there of which can easily strain even the latest GPUs.
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoI said max specs. I didn't stutter.
- sitzkrieg 8y agoNice argument
- shmerl 8y agoYou can get high end AMD cards for these, so it's not an issue if you want to use open drivers. Last year was a bit tight due to crytpocurrency mining rush (AMD GPUs were hard to buy, prices were crazy inflated and so on). This year should be better for gaming with open drivers, especially after Navi will come out.
- shittyadmin 8y agoLast I heard AMD drivers, both proprietary and open have severe stability issues on Linux. Is that no longer the case?
- shmerl 8y agoNot anymore for open drivers. Mesa developers had a lot of push to fix gaming related bugs. If you know some that are still broken, please open a bug on Mesa bug tracker and also list it here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Games_broken_on_Mesa https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Games_broken_on_Mesa This list is monitored by Mesa developers. These days AMD explicitly recommend using open drivers for gaming.
- ePierre 8y agoI've bought an AMD Radeon RX580 on my desktop for gaming, and it's been working great so far with the default open source drivers that come with Ubuntu (18.04 onwards). Didn't have to do anything.
