I am going to buy a new graphics card and can’t choose between Nvidia and AMD. I know that Nvidia has bad reputation in Linux community but how really it works? And I heard recently their drivers got better. What can you recommend?
P. S. I don’t want any proprietary drivers (so I am talking about Nouveau or any other FOSS Nvidia driver if it exists)
Nobody is bitching. Rage less. My constructive point is that NVidia is a better option. NVidia’s CUDA stack is software - and unfortunately for us, that means it’s also paired with their hardware.
Many people care if choosing something is going to hobble their workflow. In this point, if you’re using Blender, choosing AMD is going to hobble your productivity. I’m just stating facts.
Is your information applicable to the nouveau drivers? I’d understood they’re many years behind in performance and capability but blender has never been in my use case.
