minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-24 hours agoMan I wish my time with Nvidia was as easy as you claim it to be. I had a 1080 Ti that I was forced to sell because Nvidia drivers made my PC unusable. The performance drop going from a 1080 Ti to a RX 580 was huge, but it was well worth it for a system that would actually work reliably.
minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-258 minutes agoI’ve tried a 3060 as well, which was a nightmare too. Although that was in a laptop so I’m not sure if that’s a laptop-specific thing. I doubt it though, since every other update would render it unbootable, which also happened with the 1080 Ti. I do know that AMD “just works”, though. Nvidia needs to seriously improve before they’re right for a typical Linux user. Shit, Valve’s new big picture mode was delayed for like a year because it was unusable on Nvidia hardware. Doesn’t exactly sound bug-free to me mate.

A lot has changed since 1080…
