Hi folks! We have a proposed blocker - 2274490 – nVidia RTX 3000 GPUs are inoperable in Fedora 40 (nouveau) - for Fedora 40 on nVidia RTX 3000 series GPUs , it would be great to get some more testing to confirm whether it affects all such GPUs. The bug should be quite simple - it prevents the system booting at all. So if you have such a GPU, please just try booting the Workstation live image - https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/40_RC-1.13/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x8...
It performs as expected, that is to say similar to an RTX 3080, so it wasn’t really an upgrade performance-wise (RT performance is probably even a bit worse), but Nvidia drivers caused tons of issues combined with Wayland and certain games when I tried it, so the switch was definitely worth it for me. It’s quite a bit more efficient though in terms of power draw and the model I got (PowerColor Hellhound) has a great cooler that that’s very quiet even under high load.
It’s pretty good with somewhat recent kernels, although I started experiencing an odd issue starting with kernel 6.7 (at least combined with KDE Plasma and VRR) that I reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3268. Apart from that I’m very satisfied. I’d imagine a 7600 XT would work just as well.
Thats good to hear. Ive been hearing that Nivida has gotten better in Linux but i was still leaning towards amd even if price to performance isnt super great with the card im looking at.
I like to game at 1440 at 144hz so i feel like a 7600xt would work fine but its good to hear a more personal experience especially since you mentioned KDE since I was planning on installing Fedora with KDE.
Depending on where you live a 6700 XT or 6750 XT might be available at a similar price. They only come with 12 GB VRAM and lack RDNA3 features like AV1 encode, but both models are quite a bit faster than a 7600 XT.
