Been using AMD gpus for years due to their superb Linux support. Would like to play around with AI image generation completely offline so a Nvidia gpu is kinda must. Besides that I do some gaming as well.

Currently I have AMD RX 6750 XT and am considering replacing it with a RTX 5060 TI with 16 GB vram. How well does Nvidia gpus work in modern Linux systems. I'm running Tumbleweed with KDE plasma on X11.

Other hardware is Ryzen 7 7700X and an Asrock B650 PG Lightning motherboard.

Edit: Been using InvokeAI so far but cpu only is super slow.

There are problems with GPUs with more than 2 fans since the NVIDIA drivers only support 2 fan controllers. Usually the third fan is controlled by vendor software and many of those vendors do not have Linux software. What you end up with is a GPU where only 2 fans spin.

Other than that I have yet to run into any real problems.
