I’d prefer an AMD 9000 series because I refuse to support Nvidia, but the upgradability is still an amazing achievement. I’m glad to see Framework delivering.
Out of curiosity, why do you refuse to support Nvidia? AMD isn't some saint, they're a shitty corporation just like Nvidia. They got lucky when Jim Keller saved their asses with the Ryzen architecture in the mid-2010s. They haven't really innovated a god damn thing since then and it shows.
Edit: I get it, I get it, Nvidia is a much shittier company and I agree. I was pretty drunk last night before bed, please pardon the shots fired
Not OC but I don't want to deal with Nvidia's proprietary drivers. AMD cards "just work" on Linux
Except that AMD doesn't support HDMI 2.1 on Linux (not their fault to be fair, but still)
This may be an unpopular opinion but who cares? I'll use DVI if I have to.
I personally don't have a need for it, but if someone has a 4K 120Hz TV or monitor without DisplayPort that they want to use as such, it's kinda stupid that they can't.
yeah, but that's the fault of the HDMI standards group. AMD cards could only support HDMI 2.1 if they closed their driver down. I guess this can't be fixed with a DP to HDMI adapter either, right?
my opinion: displayport is superior, and if I have a HDMI-only screen with supposed 4k 120Hz support I treat it as false info.
Is that the case on mobile APUs as well? I'm pretty sure my laptop with 7840u does 4k120hz
Intel cards do, I think, so that's a non-NVIDIA option.
yeah intel (⊙_◎)
That's completely valid, I haven't had issues on Linux myself with nvidia, but I know it's definitely a thing for a lot of people.
