So NVIDIA just doesn’t cut it on Linux/proton I’ve come to learn. Looking at the best bang//buck, it this the AMD card people are flocking to? 7800 XT maybe?
In my experience, as a nongamer just laptop user, Intel is way more stable than AMD too. Might consider an Intel GPU? But I only know the integrated ones on Laptops, which work really well
The dedicated Intel GPUs have nowhere near as much performance as an RX 7900. The video encoder is very good though.
Also stuff like waking up from suspend, random freezes and power management work better than on AMD. I would assume this also applies to the Arc GPUs?
Can’t say I’ve experienced any such issues on recent AMD UMA or dGPU systems; power management is pretty well documented and generally reliable without any need for user intervention. Curious as to which platforms were problematic in your experience for my own learning; it’s likely that anything pre-polaris was kind of wonky
I’ve also not had any issues with Intel integrated graphics on Linux, but ANV on Arc is a bit messy with translation layers like vkd3d right now. The gen12 (DG1, RKL and later) driver & technology stack appears to be quite different.
