Like others have already said, if you want Foss drivers then AMD is your only choice.

However, if you want the most performant cards on the market then you can safely choose nvidia. The drivers work really well now, no tinkering required. Even multi monitor vrr works now with the latest drivers.

Stop listening to what people are parroting, nvidia used to be a bad choice, but not anymore. Even Linus Torvalds has changed his mind

So, when AI people came in, that was wonderful, because it meant somebody at NVIDIA had got much more involved on the kernel side, and NVIDIA went from being on my list of companies who are not good to my list of people who are doing really good work.

I’m also on EndeavourOS and used this tutorial to do exactly that.

All you should have to do is

I’m not calling anyone jerk. I just don’t like that every discussion involves ‘nvidia bad’ on here. That, to me, is a circlejerk. And repeatedly summing up the situation as ‘nvidia is so bad, don’t use it’ puts people off from making the jump and consequently doesn’t help the growth of linux in general, which doesn’t help you, me or anyone else.

Your nvidia information might be outdated since driver version 560.x. And I’m getting tired of the anti nvidia circlejerk in the Linux communities on lemmy.

At least Shadow of the Tomb Raider (+20fps) and Cyberpunk (+5fps) run better than they did on windows with the same settings, for me. And those are the only games I tested, because they are the only AAA titles I own that come with a performance test.

I’m not defending nvidia here, there are still issues like missing multi monitor vrr or a few (!) titles that are too broken to play. And it’s not as much of an out of the box experience as it is with AMD.

But for most people that own an nvidia card it’s probably already a good idea to make the switch from windows.

So, to anyone owning a nvidia card having doubts: feel free to try things out!

Nope, but it might come with 6.12

Ooo, thx for the tip
