How viable are modern nvidia cards (like 4070) on linux today? Mainly for gaming. I've heard there are some driver issues that can cause problems, any truth to this claim?
Most problems with newer cards have been fixed with version 550. Gaming related, the only thing that will cause you pain is VR or Kernel Level AC
Thanks. So just use official Nvidia drivers and I'm good to go? Thinking of moving to fedora if it maters.
I have a 3070 Ti and it works flawless on Mint with the official driver
I started with Bazzite and moved from there to Garuda. Both have an Nvidia version that just takes care of that for you. I've never had to worry about drivers.
Yup, the official driver is your best option for gaming. No experience with fedora here. I think they use wayland instead of X11 by default, right? I know that wayland had a tough time with Nvidia gpus. No idea if anything has changed in the last two years.
