Hey folks. I’m a new dad which means my gaming time is at a premium, but I am going through a big cleanse of the enshittification era of the internet right now, and Windows 11 is kinda giving me bad vibes.
Last time I tried to run Linux it was ok and worked the majority of the time, but ray tracing and a few games caused some issues. I was also using game pass which of course doesn’t work on Linux, so I dropped back to windows.
How is Nvidia life these days? I’ve got a 3080 and an AMD 9800X3D so it should be fine for most games I imagine.
I mean, if you can get a 50 series card at MSRP then do, the scalping sucks but otherwise it’s still a slight perf/€ win over 40 series.
Even at msrp it isn’t worth it right now. They’re having issues with the melting cables still, the drivers not working properly, and things like you might just not get the correct amount of components on your chip die. This series has been abysmal. With the amd 9070 coming out I’d still wait and just look at those to see if they take this gift nvidia is giving them and run with it.
