Hi everyone,

I'm currently thinking about putting together a new (Linux) PC with
special attention to being a workhorse for darktable.

A fast SSD and enough RAM being a given, I'm not sure which graphics
card to get. What's the current thinking on what to get?

Specifically, I have the following questions:

* Which works better in Linux - Nvidia or AMD?

* Which drivers work (best) for using OpenCL in darktable? Are the
  open-source drivers okay or do I need the binary drivers from AMD or
  Nvidia?

* If binary, which are best/most stable/fastest?

* Is it worth getting a high-end card (say 5700 XT for AMD or 2080 SUPER
  for Nvidia)?

* Are the performance differences in darktable noticable, compared to a
  card that is one or two steps down from that - especially when you
  consider the rather larger amount of money I'd have to pay for it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers
Chris
