Some of you poor lads told me that you’ve spent twice that amount on the same card just a few months ago while GPU prices were through the roof. But I did wait patiently enough so that I could get a good deal on a used card. No, I’m not popular enough to get samples of the latest and greatest cards ( cough lucky-ass bastard Phoronix cough). The weapon of choice? The XFX Speedster SWFT 309 Radeon RX 6700 XT. I’ve been a long time NVIDIA user and I grew tired of it. Intel is actually making some great progress with their discrete ARC cards starting with kernel 6.2 and Mesa 23, so that might become another option in the future besides AMD. We’re starting to see a spark of hope with the new open-source NVK driver, created by some of the Collabora and Red Hat developers, but that’s going to need quite some time in order for users to make the switch. Chances are if you’re on Linux and you want decent gaming performance, there’s a 98% chance you’re using their proprietary graphics driver stack. Their Nouveau driver, while open-source, is complete garbage. The funny thing is, despite how proliferant NVIDIA is in devices, the company doesn’t really care about Linux users.
