Hi all, I have transitioned my desktop PC to linux and am really liking it so far. I recently bought Oblivion Eemastered, but it seems like it’s too much for my old 1060 6gb to handle. So now I’m looking at what options are available - and would obviously like to get an option that works well with Linux. Since I don’t game as much anymore, I don’t think I can justify spending much more than €300 on it. I haven’t looked at the GPU market for 8 years now, so I don’t know what’s going. What advice do you people have? I have looked at the 4060, the 7600 and the 7600XT, but not sure if they are good value, I’m getting mixed info online.
I appreciate any help and advice you people have.
Don’t buy Nvidia. It’ll be a pain in the ass, especially if you use something like Debian testing where kernel is updated quite frequently.
AMD would be a good choice.
Nvidia is barely an inconvenience anymore. I run Bazzite on an old laptop with a GTX 960M, and it’s flawless.
That said, I agree that AMD is the current best choice.
It depends on the use. AMD for gaming, sure. For machine learning I would go with nvidia again. I run it on arch, which updates very often.
I doubt that OP talks about machine learning. And still, Nvidia’s driver is an additional source of problems.
you can run local models with 16GB VRAM, but I’m not sure most models will run at all on an AMD card
