What would you recommend? I am about to buy a graphics card for the office PC and want best driver support both in Windows and Linux.
Gday @etkaar ,
It's a personal choice in the end ( with specs in mind)
Zorin have a vast range of proprietary drivers for both AMD & NVIDIA .
Try here may help,
My personal choice would be Intel or Nvidia - strange as that may seem.
Why would it be strange? Because of the or?
I indeed thought about Intel Arc too, but when I see that even a 12400 is not working in Zorin OS out of the box I am in doubt ... ![]()
Nvidia has a long history of bickering with and snubbing Linux.
That situation has improved a great deal, though.
AMD, in the meantime, is a stakeholder and donates to Linux and promotes FOSS. Yet... In spite of these nice words... I see more AMD troubles than any other GPU.
How much graphics performance does your office need?
I need either two DP ports or one DP and one HDMI port and the graphics card must be able to handle 2 x 4K. Currently I am using the UHD Graphics 730 (from an i5-12400) which is fine, even for games like Counter-Strike: Source. Is the graphics card faster than that (and offers the required ports), this will be totally reasonable.
It is more the driver support, as I am very sensitive to tearing or such things.
My Ryzen 5 2400G had more trouble on Windows. ![]()
According to the spec sheet, i5-12400's iGPU can use two 4K displays.
You're right and it works perfectly – in Windows. In Linux however no luck, see: Zorin OS not working with integrated Alder Lake GPU
But it worked in the end ![]()
I've always choose Nvidia. Only high end cards xx70-xx80.
Thank you for all the feedback. Seems the community is quite active!
As well as diversely opinionated. ![]()
