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 1 month 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.

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

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

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.

Gnawh Penisburg. I'm still sporting a laptop with a 1070 from about a decade ago...
