I was an EVGA customer for many years. I’m looking to buy a new GPU soon to replace my 2080Ti. What brands would you consider when making a new GPU purchase and why?

My Radeon 290X gave me a lot of Linux problems before it died. Like freezing a while after resuming from sleep. Hate to admit the GTX 1660 Ti hasn’t given me any problems on Linux.

AMD revamped and open sourced their driver sometimes around the Vega era, I think? It’s been super solid since then.

That’s good to hear. For the longest time I suspected my Ryzen 3 CPU was causing the freezes. But no, it was the Radeon’s dynamic power management that I had to disable with GRUB to fix it.
