Comment on Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for?
jjlinux@lemmy.ml 4 months agoThey are not terrible, they just don’t hold a candle to a Nvidia card of the same tier. And the Op is buying new not old. Not once did I say anything bad about any brand, like the Op, I’m not married to any of them, and only speak out of personal experience. I dont make money from them, they make money out of me.

I take it your taking about Intel? AMD GPUs tend to be a pretty good deal as there are tons of them used on AMD.

Maybe, I’ve never bought PC parts on eBay, or used for that matter. Too risky from my perspective. And yes, I’m talking about AMD GPUs. They are very good, but still behind Nvidia in every aspect.

Except for Linux support. Nvidia is awful on Linux compared to Intel (best) and AMD (solid).

Name one example in which an Nvidia card from the same gen of an AMD GPU performed equal or worse, regardless of the driver. Why do you think that even manufacturers focused on hardware for Linux choose Nvidia over AMD GPUs? Cost? Unlikely, since Nvidia is usually more expensive.
