GPU upgrade for linux workstation

Hey all! This is my first post, so I’m sorry if anything is formatted incorrectly or if this is the wrong place to ask this. Recently I’ve saved up enough to upgrade my graphics card ($350 budget). I’ve heard great things about amd on linux and appreciate open source drivers so as to not be at the mercy of nvidia. My first...

nyan,

Keep in mind that nvidia drops proprietary driver support for its older cards from time to time, so your card will eventually be desupported by them. The extent to which this matters for you depends on how long a timespan your “after a few years” represents. If “a few years” is just 2-3 years, you’re probably okay, but if it’s 8-10 years, your card will be desupported before you’re ready to get rid of it.

CUDA is a proprietary nvidia API, so you aren’t likely to get it working on an AMD card.
