As many already know, nvidia is not the best choice for linux and amd is always recommend when it is brought up, so here id like to ask an equivalent to my graphics card in amd, i know nothing about amd and dont really know where to start honestly.

GPU: gtx 1660 super processor: 11th gen i5-11400 2.60hgz x 6

what would be a similar or better choice from amd in terms of gpu that maybe doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Do nvidia or amd matter in terms of games?

any help would be very appreciated

    Thats…the point of this post? What is an equivalent or upgrade in your opinion that doesnt cost an arm and a leg?

      I don’t understand this community… it’s like discussion can’t be had because people’s opinions of linux get in the way of it somehow.

      I don’t have any expertise here or I would offer my thoughts. Just frustrated to see the top comments not being helpful at all.

          Its a moderation problem. Same on reddit. An active mod will comment (or outright remove) if a comment is not helpful or outright toxic.

          People seem to think that a world without rules will work. I‘m autistic and mindblind and even I understand that while this would work for me (I make my own rules for myself based on morality and religiously adhere to them) it does not work for 90% of the population. Therefore moderation is required.

      Your post makes it sound like you want to make a swap from a 1660 to something with similar power on the AMD side, not upgrading. If you want something cheap from AMD, the 6600 would be a decent power bump for not too much.
