As many already know, nvidia is not the best choice for linux and amd is always recommend when it is brought up, so here id like to ask an equivalent to my graphics card in amd, i know nothing about amd and dont really know where to start honestly.

GPU: gtx 1660 super processor: 11th gen i5-11400 2.60hgz x 6

what would be a similar or better choice from amd in terms of gpu that maybe doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Do nvidia or amd matter in terms of games?

any help would be very appreciated

    All of what you said is true, I’m just cheap. Don’t feel like dropping money on a low end card just to have it struggle @1080p in new games and “mid” range still feels inflated. Might also be regional pricing where I live is just more expensive. Ever since Mindfactory stopped shipping outside germany I can’t find decent online stores, local or otherwise.

      I dunno if it’s usable internationally but idealo checks a couple of vendors. Maybe that helps.

      And yes, I can relate. I was in a bit of a bind as I‘d like to stop using my laptop to spare it from eventual heat death. Otherwise, I‘d maybe not have bought one.

      But still, I don’t see gpu prices drop again since ai is buying them in bulk.
