Pretty much no nvidia cards will give you good performance with a pure-mainline stack.
Nvidia released an "open source" driver recently... As in it moves lots of work to firmware and just plays nicer with OSS. Maybe check for cards that work with that driver.
- TchoBeer 4y agoAw man, is that true? Can I not get Nvidia's proprietary drivers on Linux, at least?
- CameronNemo 4y agoYou can. I don't know much about them. I do know that some software (especially Wayland compositors) don't like the closed source nvidia drivers.
- kfajdsl 4y agoYes, you can. That's what I and almost everyone with Nvidia cards do. The big caveat IMO is if you want GSync/FreeSync, you can't use Wayland. It is also in general less stable/polished with Wayland. I'm ok using Xorg though, at least on my desktop.
