Hello yall, currently I have an RTX 2060, which I’ll be passing down to slap a 1060 into my server, but I’d like to weigh some options first.

The 2060 has been pretty good with Linux thus far, I’m a little worried about going to the 30 series - so I’ll be accepting affirmations - but I am curious what any of you think about AMD cards and which one to get. Also if there’s any reason not to use a 1060 for jellyfin and such that would be very helpful

Edit: thanks yall! Settled on an RX6600, runs local LLMs like nothing compared to my ol 2060

    Amd knocks Nvidia into a hat on Linux, the drivers are just too incredible.

    With the exception of AI, where Nvidia is just plain the gold standard.

    Intel is fine, it has exceptional video encoding and works.

      I had an R5 1600x basically since it released, and I appreciate the socket lasted so long. I might as well go full AMD at this point, you’ve convinced me

        Yeah, the ryzens are great too.

        Full amd will treat you well, I’m running dual xeons and a Radeon pro with an arc 770 just for av1 encode right now.

        Next round going full epyc.
