I understand that AMD drivers are open source and less of a hassle to work compared to Nvidia. But what else? What model should I look for? I don’t care for raytracing or other dumb gimmicks. Just want to run my map games and cowboy games without lag and crashes. Upscaling compatible is preferred in case I want to play newer slop without buying a new card.
AMD. Had horrible problems with Nvidia drivers on a rolling release distro, haven't run AMD with one but it's been smooth sailing ever since I switched. Running a 5600xt, plays Death Stranding at 1080 pretty competently.
