I'm guessing that's true for Windows, but I've had the opposite experience on Linux (for graphics, not computation).
On Linux, I'm sometimes bitten by the fact that nVidia's closed-source drivers might not work well with a certain kernel version. And IIUC their closed-source nature has also slowed down nVidia-Wayland compatibility.
On the other hand, I fear that now that HDMI specs are closed, AMD's open-source drivers might never be capable of 4k@120Hz via HDMI. (IIUC, that is.)

- CoastalCoder 5y agoI'm still fuzzy regarding whether or not USB4's support for Display Port is a way around this problem. My understanding is that DP 2.0 can do 4k@120Hz. But I don't know if it has its own issues with Linux open-source.
