  • Intel is in AMD’s Rearview Mirror…but Nvidia isn’t…yet…

  • I'm in the same boat. I have more AMD than everything else combined. I love Ryzen, but I can't justify buying a Radeon.

    I need an RTX card for Blender and Stable Diffusion, so that more than covers my gaming needs.

    The way I see it, Nvidia makes compute cards that can also game, and AMD is just the opposite. It's why AMD is the price/performance leader in rasterized games and Nvidia is the price/performance leader in anything involving compute. When Lisa bragged that 6000 series could do upscaling without deep learning, I saw the writing on the wall.

  • Is there anywhere to host gifs and mp4s in the Fediverse?

  • Sadly, mine doesn't, unless it's changed since I last talked to my admin.🙁

    Not a huge deal though.

  • Thanks. I never tried Pixelfed, but from what I could get from their homepage, they don't support mp4.

    I'm not on Mastodon, but have some friends who are. I'll ask them about it.

  • Linux gaming on an Nvidia graphics card

    Jump

  • I've been gaming on Nvidia cards since I switched over 3 years ago and only had a few issues.

    On initial install, the opensource nvidia drivers wouldn't work - I had to go into the terminal and select the proprietary ones. That's pretty much it, really. Other than that, I've had about the same amount of issues with AMD(integrated graphics) and Nvidia.

    On the plus side, Nvidia has a nice little control panel. It's basic, doesn't have all that GeForce Experience stuff, plus there are command line utilities like nvidia-smi(basic info) and nvtop(temp, clock, usage, memory stats). AMD doesn't have a control panel, that I'm aware of.

    As far as distro, I'd say just chose the one you're most comfortable with. I don't think there are any huge differences between them concerning gaming performance.
