I'm still using my EVGA GeForce 1070. When it's time to upgrade, I'm going with AMD.
Only reason I don't is because:
nvidia just works better on linux. Well... I heard that's changed so this may no longer be relevant
I don't think AMD GPUs work well compared to nVidia with Davinci Resolve
DLSS/Ray Tracing. Even though I never use ray tracing because even the first card with it couldn't handle it ๐
I switched to AMD because nvidia worked like dogshit on Linux. Especially when I needed Wayland.
I really dunno
FSR is the replacement. But RTX would be slower on AMD but still good enough for some people.
I've had a Nvidia card for a long time (just built my new pc 2 months ago) Wayland worked mostly ok for me the last year. But I've used x11 until 2023, so I can't really sayhow it was.
Ray tracing is about to get WAY better with DLSS 3.5...damn it AMD, why can't you guys have borderline useless, but also really cool features :C
#1 - I don't know, have you tried making VAAPI work on your browsers? Assuming you are using DEs and not running command line servers.
