This. I've already decided my next GPU will be AMD regardless of if it's competitive at the top end in terms of performance. I am so sick of nVidia's Linux driver bullshit that I cannot wait to drop them. I don't game that much anymore anyway.
- shmerl 6y agoAMD is great for gaming on Linux, especially with projects like radv and ACO.
- packetlost 6y agoI'm not super interested in Linux gaming, I just want my desktop to be usable.
- jdmichal 6y agoHonest question: If you're not interested in gaming, why even get a discrete GPU and not an integrated one? Are you interested in using it for other purposes?
- packetlost 6y agoI dual boot Windows for gaming. I work and code on Linux, except my monitor setup + nvidia graphics card results in a virtually unusable desktop. Integrated graphics can't run multiple 4k screens very well, if at all.
- shmerl 6y agoI do all my gaming on Linux and AMD works very well for it.
- capableweb 6y agoI'm not the author of the previous comments but I use Linux, not interested in gaming, and I have a dedicated GPU (2080ti). Mostly for working with Blender and Houdini, where the integrated one would work as well as using the CPU, at least for the workloads I'm dealing with, so having a dedicated GPU for both simulations and rendering helps a lot to speed up the workflows.
- axaxs 6y agoI can answer this question from my own perspective, at least. CPUs with integrated graphics are not as fast as standalone historically. Compare say, a ryzen 3600 to a 3400G. Passmark below: 3400G: 9425 3600: 17850 for fun 1600: 12444
