My preference is always to AMD for the simple reasons that they are more Linux-friendly and, as the number 2 company, need to be supported to ensure that computing doesn't become a monopoly. They are second behind Intel in chip sales and second behind NVidia in graphics cards. However their hardware always seems to work with Linux.Hello, usually I do not really care about graphic power, however I am planning to build a new machine for Monte Carlo simulations. And part of the calculations would be perfect for offloading to a GPU. So anyone have any suggestions for graphic cards (which preferably are supported by debian). I know that currently AMD are hard to get because of all the ethereum mining. Which of the current cards are well supported under debian? Or might give me some troubles? TIA -H
I've never needed to use proprietary drivers thanks to AMD's Linux support. However, I'm not a gamer so your mileage will vary...
