I understand that AMD drivers are open source and less of a hassle to work compared to Nvidia. But what else? What model should I look for? I don’t care for raytracing or other dumb gimmicks. Just want to run my map games and cowboy games without lag and crashes. Upscaling compatible is preferred in case I want to play newer slop without buying a new card.
I bought the top of the line AMD card a few years back and never got the goddamned thing to be able to use both my monitors on linux, and on Windows the performance didn’t seem all that great. I ended up taking it back after pulling my hair out for a day or two. I bought an nvidia card, plugged it in, it worked right off the bat in Linux and the performance was insanely better on windows. I never looked back.
Also if you care at all about running any AI apps then forget AMD. You’ll really want a card capable of CUDA and that’s only Nvidia as of now.
