been playing on a 3070 quite happily on linux for the last year or so, on a dual boot win11/fedora box... but after i installed fedora i never booted into win11 again!

Just forked out for a 4070 ti super so i toy with some AI stuff... when it arrives I'm doing a clean fresh build. Fedora only. no windows at home anymore.

While I would loved to have bought an AMD GPU, the power suck on those high end cards is an order of magnitude more than the Nvidia

Any source for this? I highly doubt a high end AMD GPU will draw 2-3kW of power.

I wish i could find the nice charts I found when i was looking. but here:

>Club386 specifically gave the example of the RX 7700 XT compared to the RTX 4070. The former is rated at 245W of power consumption versus the latter's 200W TGP. The RX 7700 XT also reportedly performs worse, targeting the RTX 4060 Ti.

Though looking at this, if you undervolt the AMD stuff it does a lot better

That's 245W vs 200W, 45W of difference, not even close to an order of magnitude more power draw...
