A new AMD vs Nvidia decision? (lemmy.nowsci.com)

Hey all,

In the market for a GPU, would like to use Bazzite, mostly a Steam user with some SteamVR (rare), and have run into nvidia issues with Bazzite and a 3070 previously.

With the recent news on nVidia's beta drivers and Plasma's sync support in beta, I'm newly on the fence about switching to AMD given nvidia having a better performance to cost ratio, the power usage (big one for a compact living room system), and the fact that they have the potential for HDMI2.1 support which AMD doesn't have a solution to yet.

What are community thoughts? I'll probably hold out for some reports on the new drivers regardless, but wanted to check in with the hive mind.

Thanks!

I'm running an AMD 7800 XT on Bazzite right now and it's been my best Linux experience so far. I play stuff like Cyberpunk, Helldivers, Chivalry 2, etc all the time.
