I have been offered a choice between these two cards, and I’m not sure which one will perform better in linux at this point. If it was Windows I would just go with the Nvidia and call it a day, but the driver situation on Linux has me leaning towards AMD. Is the AMD the right choice?

I’m using the Garuda distro.

    I was using a water cooled VEGA 64 up until last year. I could play Cyberpunk at 3440x1440 med/high settings and pull around 40-50 fps. On a free sync monitor that is plenty for a smooth gameplay experience. But as far as I understand Linux doesn’t support freeSync yet which is a shame.

    If you can water-cool the VEGA 64, there is a lot of performance that is still left on the table. You don’t even need to overclock as the drivers will push for as long as you have power budget and thermal room.

      Linux does and has supported FreeSync jsut fine for several years now.
