        Nvidia GPUs will never fully catch up until Nvidia themselves switch their entire driver model to be open source and upstream developed within Mesa.

      Watching that video I can see the card being very useful once the Linux drivers can fully exploit the hardware.

      Why wouldn’t Nvidia be one? Other Linux users keep saying it’s no good but they work perfectly fine for me.

        Nvidia fans kept insisting that “Nvidia works perfectly for me” even when Wayland was entirely unsupported and using highly insecure X11 was really not a bad thing at all.

        More recently game mode didn’t work on Nvidia because their drivers again lacked features.

        Just because you don’t use a feature not supported by your drivers, doesn’t mean that it’s not true. By the very nature how Nvidia develop their drivers, they will lag behind Mesa “standards”.

          There’s a reason to are talking in past tense. It works with new games and Wayland nowadays. Unless the game is inherently broken on windows and AMD cards too (hey, MHWilds, fuck you). In any case I wouldn’t buy a new NVIDIA card, but gatekeeping and fear mongering windows users with NVIDIA cards isn’t the play either. It works fine, not the best, but fine.

        Nvidia might not exist in a couple years, because of that financial collapse they’re about to cause

        And ruining the cost of everything including ram, putting small hardware producers of everything from computer cases to their own cards out of business, etc. Nobody with a brain would deal with those fucking losers now, and nobody with a heart would tolerate them in a build.
