Hey guys,
I'm currently building a new rig for my home office. As you can see in the title, I'm a game/graphics developer and i need support for some newer OpenGL features.
I hate Windows like hell. And that's the problem: GPU Driver support for Linux is always a little... uncomfortable. I've had a AMD 6770 Card for a pretty long time and every time I tried to use it on Linux my computer nearly started burning.
So now I have to decide between the newer GPUs. My first bet was to buy a R9 290 but after reading through the forum, it seems that this isn't yet a good way to go on linux. Are there any chances that the R9290 will be running smoothly soon?
The other option is using a GTX770. Because this is a NVidia card (and because I read about it) there should be far less issues when running on Linux. It should even be on par with the Windows Version.
Both cards are nearly the same price. Though If I'm not wrong, then the R9290 has better performance (if the drivers would allow it).
Do you guys have any recommendations?
Greetings,
Knuke
