    I continue to be surprised by BattleMage. This looks like where you probably want to go if you’re interested in having open source drivers with a pretty decent GPU.

      It seems to have a lot of issues on Linux though. AMD is still the king on Linux if you want open source drivers and a decent GPU.

        Yeah, that’s what I’m running on Linux. But this seems to have some promise.

          Oh, it has promise for sure. I hope all the kinks get worked out.

    Really impressive what a $219 and $249 card can do against cards that cost $50-150 more. It’s basically stomping the 4060 for $50 cheaper in most tests.

      I’m assuming the price is lower just to gain some loyal customers. It’s a tried and true strategy. If they were in the same position as Nvidia they would absolutely charge you like Nvidia is doing.

      Its Linux performance leaves a lot to be desired… not even close to the 4060 on Linux
