Hey everyone,

Planning on buying a new gpu to use it on Linux since I’m tired of using Nvidia. I already tried to search for some benchmarks of Intel Arc on linux but they seem to be outdated.

Do you think it is worth to get a intel arc a770 or just go with AMD for mainly 1080p gaming? Or are the drivers for intel still too new and should wait for the next gen? :)

      Default for windows gaming, but better driver support for amd on Linux that’s why im thinking amd for my next build. I’m all nvidia and Intel because this rig was made for windows gaming, but now I’m so fed up with windows even just as a secondary gaming OS… It’s Linux gaming or nothing going forward.

        You may as well. Proton on Steam is really effective and with GE I haven’t had a game be unplayable for a while. I don’t really care for modern loot box gambling simulator paid public alpha type games though, so YMMV.

          So, because Foza Horizon 5 was one of the first games to come out for the Steam Deck I bought it for my PC thinking it would run well. Turns out it won’t run with the current Linux Nvidia drivers and I had to get a refund.

            Laaaaaame. At least you managed to get a refund!

            I take it you’re aware of protondb and tried the suggestions there? There’s a few people reporting recently that it works fine for them. Maybe recent updates have fixed issues

      Nvidia was also the default choice for linux until about 5 years ago. Both companies used to only have closed source drivers and AMD’s was not very good. The situation got better when AMD rewrote/open sourced their linux driver in 2017
