  • Hey, that’s my concern as well… been looking at a gpu purchase - even used - for a while though and on the fence - because of the Nvidia/Wayland thing - really annoying. I want an AMD gpu but I only game occasionally - and the software I want to use - has an Nvidia-edge / advantage to it - ppl typically buy Nvidia gpus for it - Blender, Davinci Resolve - I dunno if other video editing software takes advantage of AMD components but an Nvidia gpu is better for all of that. If Blender support improved with AMD gpus - especially the 7900 series, I’d save up for a 7900 XTX or something.

    A used 3090 is $300 cheaper and that’s significant, right?!?

    Anyway, the main reason to reply to your post is to show you this:

  • What distro do you use? I have 2 questions - Fedora is aiming to drop support of X - so, your own choice will be Wayland - first, it appears they’ll do it in KDE and then Gnome. Thoughts?

    2nd question (topic): do you try to configure your card with any voltage/fan curve programs? I’m just wondering what the options are with that and how well they work.

    Nvidia - had Linux alternatives like GWE (Green With Envy), TuxClocker and another program - name escapes me…

    GWE still works, apparently - but, I think it requires X/X11 - so, when distros like Fedora abandon X - then??? It won’t work?
