Hello everyone,
I've build a nice Ryzen-based desktop a month ago and I went with nVidia GTX1060 6 Gb as a graphics card. I'm running nvidia proprietary driver and apart from few games not running (Borderlands 2, Civ 5) it's running very smooth and performance is even above my expectations. Last desktop I had was in 2007 so since then I've only used Intel based laptops with Optimus graphics at best, so I'm only slowly coming back to the real world and getting understanding what's current status of things.
Wanting to use more open-sourced solutions and to support AMD in their effort to bring back competition to the market, I want to swap my GTX 1060 to RX580. I'm going to build second desktop on few weeks and there will be my chance to swap graphics.
Originally I went with nVidia due to lower power consumption and better understanding of performance level and stability, and that's where I'm still struggling about AMD graphics under Linux. I very like the idea of running mesa drivers, especially running Fedora which updated very regularly, but I have no idea at this point whether I'll get same performance, stability level as I'm getting now with GTX 1060. Also I remember some titles didn't support AMD graphics at all at least at start and nVidia was always supported.
I watched a lot of comparison of these cards under Windows and I'd be perfectly okay with 2-5 fps less, but things may be different under linux.
Can you help me out here and advise what to do all things above considered?
