Quoting: goldenkExactly, I don’t give a rats ass weather its nvidia or amd. It’s whoever makes the most powerful card and right now it’s nvidia. I could care less about the politics of weather something is open source or not. Its funny how all you AMD users get bent out of shape about hardware or software you dont even use.
Not surprising coming from those who are used to Windows approach to things. Nvidia is using the same. But Linux approach is different. You might not care less, but you should at least figure out what the Linux approach is.
I disagree with what you say but with as many likes that you receive on your comments, most here think like you so I’ll just go on my way. I don’t believe anyone should be expected to know anything before trying or using linux. Just people using linux is good enough in my eyes no matter the hardware, obviously I’m on the wrong page.

Quoting: HoriI only use Nvidia because they have more powerful cards. If AMD manages to get ahead, I'll switch.

I've been using Intel for CPUs for the same reason forever, but if AMD keeps up the way they did for the past few years, my next rig will be sporting an AMD processor.

Intel kinda sh*t themselves with all the vulnerabilities in their CPUs and the fixes that decrease the performance. Aaaand now AMD offers better performance even from the get-go anyway (plus you're not likely to suffer decreases along the way)

But I'm kinda worried about AMD in the GPU space, since they don't have anything RTX related right now. And Nvidia will likely release the second RTX generation soon enough.
If not for the greed with the pricing of the 20xx series, Nvidia would have been an ok company in my book. 10xx series was AMAZING with great price and even greater performance. But upgrading to 20xx didn't feel like it was worth it. In any case, I'm looking forward to the next generation. I hope they're gonna be more honest with the price but even then an upgrade would be worth it. Even the Super (sub-)series would be worth it in my book, if not for the fact that it's gonna be obsolete pretty soon (next year I think /& hope)

TL;DR I'm not loyal to any company, I'm just gonna get the one that offers the best gaming performance

At least Nvidia is doing something.

For those on NVIDIA, the 396.54.05 driver seems to have some noteworthy performance improvements

I have no comparison as I'm a new proton user but my 8700k and 1080ti with the latest driver run Doom, dark souls 3 and wolfenstein: the new order at or just about at windows performance. I had one issue but got it cleared up.

Valve have now pushed out all the recent beta changes in Steam Play's Proton to everyone
