Been using AMD gpus for years due to their superb Linux support. Would like to play around with AI image generation completely offline so a Nvidia gpu is kinda must. Besides that I do some gaming as well.

Currently I have AMD RX 6750 XT and am considering replacing it with a RTX 5060 TI with 16 GB vram. How well does Nvidia gpus work in modern Linux systems. I’m running Tumbleweed with KDE plasma on X11.

Other hardware is Ryzen 7 7700X and an Asrock B650 PG Lightning motherboard.

Edit: Been using InvokeAI so far but cpu only is super slow.

    I have a 5080 and it worked well with some issues:

    Finding a distro that would boot from USB was a headache. Bazzite and Mint wouldn’t load, but Fedora did. HDR worked in videos, but not in games. I didn’t experience any performance issues with GPU heavy games, though I had to fudge around with Proton versions to get Armored Core 6 to work.

    Valve Index worked with beat saber, but I could not mirror the VR to my TV using steam link. The index had poor frame rates for playing non-VR games in theatre mode.

    OpenRGB still doesn’t have support to change the RGB on my card (Gigabyte Aorus).

      Using nomodeset on the kernel boot command line usually helps with booting if it’s a graphics problem.
