Is it worth the trouble with an Nvidia card? (lemmy.cafe)

Hey folks. I’m a new dad which means my gaming time is at a premium, but I am going through a big cleanse of the enshittification era of the internet right now, and Windows 11 is kinda giving me bad vibes.

Last time I tried to run Linux it was ok and worked the majority of the time, but ray tracing and a few games caused some issues. I was also using game pass which of course doesn’t work on Linux, so I dropped back to windows.

How is Nvidia life these days? I’ve got a 3080 and an AMD 9800X3D so it should be fine for most games I imagine.

I have an Nvidia RTX 3070 and it works fine in kubuntu.

One of the latest games I played where I used HDR and ray tracing was Ghostrunner. It worked fine but with some intermittent slow downs.

I also have an AMD processor and that works great. You get a lot more bang for your buck.

You'll be fine. Although if you ever change, go with an ATI Radeon card for graphics because it's better supported by Linux and will have less potential problems.
