The GPU price hike is here and you should avoid any Nvidia card with more than 8 GB VRAM, if you value your bank balance (www.pcgamer.com)

A B580 has 12 gigs, sips power, and is cheap as hell. Not everybody needs a flagship Nvidia guys.

The rising tide lifts all boats or some shit. Arc is rising in price too. Newegg has them at $310 if they're available. Ebay is $325+S&H. Any listing that's under $300 has $20+S&H fees in small print under the cost. Amazon has some models that are pushing $400 which is insane for this card regardless of what extras third party manufacturers are throwing at it. The market is extremely fucked right now.

Not to mention Intel provides probably the best Linux support out of the "Big 3"

AMD has the best Linux support GPU wise but Intel is getting better every day. NVIDIA has a reputation for a reason.

Isn’t linuxvox AI slop?

NVIDIA has a reputation for a reason.

More like they're infamous for their historical poor support/performance, but yeah.

That’s the reputation I was referring to. Linus Torvalds made waves when he told them to quite literally fuck off.

Oh it is? Never really paid too much attention, tbh - they seem to have concise "recipes" to accomplish certain tasks.....but now that you said it......

If you want Linux recipes, check out the arch Linux docs.

Just like ma used to make…
