What's the best GPU for Linux users if I want to use hardware acceleration in blender?
Anything from AMD that your budget allows afaik.
Last time I read about it nVidia still had a noticeable performance advantage in Blender, but depending on what you want to do exactly, for me it would not be worth to deal with the bottomless abyss that nVidia drivers are for that.
I have also read that Blender is implementing new technologies that should lead to increased performance for AMD cards, but I don't know about that in detail and where that stands.
Regarding AMD increased performance, this is actually partially what I'm worried about. Last time I bought my RX590, it was almost immediately after that OpenCL was phased out in favor of HIP and obviously my card was no longer compatible.
With the prices of GPUs as they are today, I'm a bit hesitant to pull the trigger on a card. When I borrowed my brother's RX 6650 to test, it also seemed bit underwhelming in terms of gains.
Just curious if people have experience here.
@eoinoneill ah, if that is already the depth of your testing, then I'm not much of a help really. Good luck in that endeavour! :)
