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?
AMD. Nvidia blobs are a pain. They have many bugs and may have troubles
with newer kernels and X server.
In case of AMD you will need a new enough GPU so that it works with the
"amdgpu" open source kernel driver, not the "radeon" driver.
* 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?
phoronix.com benchmarked Darktable OpenCL performance for many times,
try studying their results.

* If binary, which are best/most stable/fastest?
None are. Binaries are always a pain.
* 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
