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.

Boycott Nvidia, their new cards are just overpriced hardware keys to fixing their software.

OP isn't asking what card to buy. He already has a Nvidia card and is asking if it's going to work on Linux.

Amd also have bugs and stuff, and they Arent much cheaper then Nvidia tho, but way worse features

This is the unfortunate reality.

AMD piggybacks on Nvidia's scumminess.

Yep, no wonder why they lost 80% of theyre 50% marketshare last 7 years
