Honestly the only time I’ve had issues with my Nvidia card on Endeavour have been when I tried Wayland

Still going full AMD for my next PC upgrade.

I’m just annoyed with my multiple monitors on X11 one of them supports 144hz but since the others are 60hz x11 forces 60hz on all monitors.

I have a 170hz for my main monitor and 60hz for my 2nd and it works, Just had to make sure my 170hz monitor was set to be my primary in the KDE display settings.

I think visually it might say the selected hz in my case 144. But I can tell that in practice it is not at 144. If I disable the other monitors only then does it actually go to 144. I’m not sure if I have a config issue, but I thought this was expected behavior from X11.

X11 does support multiple refresh rates. It’s just that usually the compositor or window manager vsyncs every display, thus making everything refresh at the lowest refresh rate. Are you using KDE? If yes, place these variables in /etc/environment and reboot:

KWIN_X11_REFRESH_RATE=144000
KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1

I do want to switch to Wayland when I can.

Only reasons I went Nvidia is because I built this PC before I had any intention of running Linux and I had always had Nvidia cards before then.

From someone that was in the same pipeline and made the move, you won’t regret it. I know it’s early days for Wayland, but my experience on AMD and Intel has been very positive.

Replaced my 1080Ti with a 6700 XT when it was on sale. Couldn’t be happier. All of my wake from suspend issues disappeared.

Also confirming the 6700 XT is a great card, replaced my 2080 with it - its been nice not dealing with Nvidia’s weird issues.

I had way more issues with my r9 390 than I’ve had with my rtx 3060.

Exactly. I did have to install mesa-freeworld drivers to get steamvr to work but ever since it’s been smooth sailing

The driver installation has got a lot easier over time, still shit that you have to install a driver, still shit support for older cards. The open drivers they’re building are too little too late for me. They didn’t care about my slightly older GPU so I stopped buying their hardware. All AMD/Intel from here on in.

I would also opt for an AMD CPU… my 2 cents.
