Which GPU would *you* choose?

(1/6) > >>

vikings.thum:
We're aiming to build desktop/workstation computers in Europe based on RCS hardware and we're looking to offer a selection of 3D GPUs that are close to the user/market for needs beyond the 2D AST2500.
Basically we're looking for an entry solution for office/daily driver use (incl. ≥ two non-4k display setups) and a mid-level solution (which can do at least 1x 2160p@60Hz). More high-end than that will be available on request (pointers still appreciated).


* What do you as an existing/aspiring user of Talos II (Lite) or Blackbird currently use and for what purposes?
* For which technical aspects would you choose AMD over NVIDIA and vice-versa?
* Do you have a personal recommendation/preference for specific GPUs and if so for what reason(s)?
I'd appreciate any additional data you can give us!

I personally would go with AMD.
I'm currently running a Radeon RX580 in my Blackbird with the open source drivers.
It has been working beautifully without any hassle or extra config.

The drivers being open source a big bonus for me.

I've been soured on too many issues dealing with Nvidia's proprietary drivers and licensing that I have replaced all my Nvidia cards with AMD in all my systems.

I don't have any specific recommendations.
I know the RX580 works great, outside of OpenCL support still lacking.
Something from that line would probably work well though, like the RX540 for a lower end card.

MPC7500:
I would also pick a Polaris. Maybe a SAPHIRE PULSE RX 570 8G G5 HDMI DP or a RX 580. I wouldn't buy a Navi again.

ClassicHasClass:
AMD Polaris, largely because of familiarity, and it seems to have the best track record right now. Doing just fine on the Raptor BTO WX7100, so either that or the RX equivalent should be spiffy.

pocock:

I put some of my own observations and preferences in the thread about Radeon Pro vs regular Radeon

Part of the answer depends on what everybody else is using: for example, if a lot of people use a particular card and actively contribute bug fixes to the driver then that makes it compelling.
