If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn’t order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn’t load.

        Been experiencing random rendering glitches in Firefox since upgrading to 570.

        Before that it was random video memory allocation faults after playing a game for some time.

        And then there was the whole year where Wayland stopped working entirely after finally getting support.

        But I guess you’re right, it’s definitely miles better than when I got the cursed thing 5 years ago.

          Bro my Cinnamon desktop just broke. It refused to load anymore. Could not fix it until I popped in my old AMD card, then Cinnamon magically worked again.

          I suspect the drivers shat the bed but I’m not 100% sure. Went ahead and bought a new AMD card anyway and it works like a dream now.

          I can only say that I currently don’t have any issues. There are a lot or variables though, so as you’re saying, your milage may vary.

      It is alot better, I keep hesitating on dropping the money for an equivalent amd card. I keep telling myself I’ll do vfio and try looking glass. Then I look into the config and shudder. I can deal with a restart a day.
