I want to get a good fast Debian compatible card for 1080p.

I was looking at this page...

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html

However, I think most or all of those cards won't work that great for Linux because of compatibility issues.

Can you recommend a good card for me to use? I play windows games in Debian with wine.

I tend to prefer AMD cards, but Nvidia cards are okay I guess as long as they work well with Debian.

Thanks!!

    I highly recommend Nvidia-based cards, if you don't mind
    closed-source drivers.
    Many (Most?) games with Linux-native ports officially support only
    Nvidia by game developers. I think, this is because of the drivers,
    their quality and stability.
    AMD-based card will usually work too, but (as long as I can
    remember) quality of their drivers were something to be desired and
    drivers for Linux are under heavy development, but they are
    open-source.
    In case of Proton\WINE, you could get mixed results, because some
    games (via DXVK) will work better with Nvidia and some are better
    with AMD. "Better" here as in "less graphical glitches, more
    performance and stability."
    To play modern games in 1080p 60fps with high graphics settings you
    would want minimum GTX1660 or better with 6Gb VRAM or more.
