I have (had?) A win10 machine for gaming with a nvidia 1080 for the past ten years since gaming wasn't performant enough for me on Linux. Nouveau wasn't cutting it fps wise and the nvidia drivers were a nightmare if you dared to alt-tab or expected more than 20fps.

I bought a mid tier (radeon7600xt) from AMD and it was (I am not kidding) plug and play. And I don't mean the Microsoft blue screen presentation plugnplay.

Natively I got performant 3d fps (glxgears must be celebrating its 100th birthdaynow) and thanks to valves wine fork it was even easier to get more demanding games up and running. Before icouldn't even run portal.

Thank you AMD for doing something right where nvidia is obviously screwing up.
