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.

      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.

      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.

        These latest drivers had been annoying tf outta me though. Random screen glitches while using 3080 for weeks.
