Pascal… Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time… A long time

The 1060 is still hanging around ~2% usage on steam hardware survey, so it's not completely irrelevant yet.

That newer open source driver is still far behind but is progressing. Those graphics cards will have a great new life with modern kernels someday

That's why I'm not on bleeding edge.

Just make 580 legacy. Problem solved. :) (It's already LTS though)

By the way, I have GTX 1080 and this seems to be end of the way. What is the similar AMD I can get, preferably second hand?

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Maybe the RX 7600 XT.

It's in the second to latest generation (7000 not 9000), should be slightly faster than a GTX 1080, and doubles the VRAM capacity to 16 GB so you wouldn't be in danger of running into limitations with that too soon.

Oh, haha I was confused for a second about the Pascal language 🤭

I'm running PopOS and Debian with Nvidia cards that should be affected by this, if I'm understanding this right. Ugh.

What a pain.

Nah, you're in pop and Debian, you'll be fine for a while.
