And more recent cards only work with kernels 4.11+ (and open source
drivers). Like my RX 550 *sigh*

The main problem with the AMD drivers are the supported kernels
versions only 4.8 and 4.10 (not 4.9) [1].

Hi,
the original poster is on Debian testing, that's not supported by
AMD. The Debian nVidia packages should work fine. For me, this has
been enough to choose nVidia, I'm using Debian testing with a
750Ti, and it just keeps working through a lot of updates. Of
course switching to distribution supported by AMD (like Ubuntu
16.04) is also an option. In that case, distribution updates (eg.
to Ubuntu 17.04) may be a problem.
Cheers
Michael

You need OpenCL, i.e. at present a proprietary graphics card
driver. I moved from openSuse to Ubuntu because of the AMD driver.
Fedora should also be possible.
I use Darktable 2.2.5 with the AMD RX 460, running with Xubuntu
16.04.03.
The card should be about 120 Euro, pay attention to the type of
RAM on the card.
Propriatary driver:

The AMD opensouce driver with any distro is well supported and
should be sufficient for most of the work.
