minus-square@xavier666@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish9•2 years agoWhat is the intel GPU driver scenario on Linux? What about game stability?
minus-square@DdCno1@beehaw.orglinkfedilink6•2 years agoThe real issue is spotty compatibility with older games or even things that nobody would normally think about being problematic, like emulators.
minus-square@xavier666@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoSo I’m guessing that it’s worse than Nvidia but has the scope to become better because it’s open-source.
minus-square@DavidGarcia@feddit.nllinkfedilink2•2 years agoIntel has like half the valuation of AMD at this point. So expect it to be as good as AMD to half as good. It’s hard to beat Nvidia since they can hire more than 10x the people.
minus-squarePonyOfWarlinkfedilink7•2 years agoAMD has much better Linux drivers than Nvidia though, so that line of reasoning doesn’t really work.
