It’s no surprise that NVIDIA is gradually dropping support for older videocards, with the Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs most recently getting axed. What’s more surprising is the terrible way t…
Sounds nice but let me rephrase. What is the similar AMD card that I can get by selling GTX 1080 without adding too much. I’m not looking for an upgrade anytime soon.
I’ll switch to Debian if I must but I don’t want to do that either unless I have to.
Hard to day what the used market is since is like, but the cheapest cards that would be broadly similar in performance would probably be the Arc A580, RX 5700 or RX 6600. This page has some rankings that are reasonable for comparison: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388-2.html
But…surely there’s a way to just stick with the latest supported driver, right? Or is Arch truly an “upgrade or die” distro?
No idea, since I have no way of knowing how the second hand market around you looks like. I just looked for a similar (in performance) card, not of the newest gen so there would hopefully be some used models around.
I see, thanks for checking though. It seems I can sell GTX 1080 around 100$ here but RX 7600 XT is 320$ in second hand. Second hand market doesn’t seem bright here. Even RX 6600 is around 150$. That might work for me but I guess I’ll need to check a lot.
