Going from nvidia to amd
Going from nvidia to amd
As many already know, nvidia is not the best choice for linux and amd is always recommend when it is brought up, so here id like to ask an equivalent to my graphics card in amd, i know nothing about amd and dont really know where to start honestly.
GPU: gtx 1660 super processor: 11th gen i5-11400 2.60hgz x 6
what would be a similar or better choice from amd in terms of gpu that maybe doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Do nvidia or amd matter in terms of games?
any help would be very appreciated
I made the swap from Nvidia to AMD without getting a more powerful card. It just isn't worth it. Sure, the fact that I can use Wayland and open source drivers is nice, but you don't gain any extra performance. I would wait until you are ready to upgrade your card and just get and AMD card at that point.
Thats....the point of this post? What is an equivalent or upgrade in your opinion that doesnt cost an arm and a leg?
I don't understand this community... it's like discussion can't be had because people's opinions of linux get in the way of it somehow.
I don't have any expertise here or I would offer my thoughts. Just frustrated to see the top comments not being helpful at all.
Your post makes it sound like you want to make a swap from a 1660 to something with similar power on the AMD side, not upgrading. If you want something cheap from AMD, the 6600 would be a decent power bump for not too much.
You don't gain performance, you gain support and stability.
