How those AMD crashes though. All my friends in AMD CPUs have had a hell of the last two years with constant crashes in unreal engine games. Meanwhile, I made fun of myself for buying an ancient 11 series which is a decade old arch at this point but is rock solid.
Had those due to insufficient cooling in the case. Tell him to run the games without the side panel. I installed additional fans later and have had no such issue ever since. xt 7900
Contrast that with Intel's last generation of chips, all of which started failing after a similar time period. AMD only need to be better than the competition.
Their linux driver support isn't so great, though. I really considered an AMD GPU for my most recent build, and based on the driver support for just the integrated graphics on my new AMD CPU (7900X), I opted for an NVidia card instead.
How so? Switching from an Nvidia card to an AMD one I am now able to upgrade my kernel whenever without getting a blinking cursor after reboot. How are in-tree drivers worse than whatever Nvidia does?
I'm running a 6900XT on Arch and have no problems so far. Steam, Heroic launcher and every game i tried so far worked like a charm. You can even OC with LACT [1] if you want to.
