I am gaming on Linux and I don’t want to buy the 9070 XT. If I buy that now, I’m basically buying a top of the line card from 4 years ago. Now I’m debating whether I wait another 2 years to buy whatever becomes the top of the line card AMD makes next time they release a new card, or go with nVidia even though their Linux drivers often suck.
I’m hoping next time their best card is competitive with nVidia’s best card. If their best card is only equivalent to the nVidia 5090 but it comes out in 2027, I’ll be annoyed.
