Been using AMD gpus for years due to their superb Linux support. Would like to play around with AI image generation completely offline so a Nvidia gpu is kinda must. Besides that I do some gaming as well.

Currently I have AMD RX 6750 XT and am considering replacing it with a RTX 5060 TI with 16 GB vram. How well does Nvidia gpus work in modern Linux systems. I'm running Tumbleweed with KDE plasma on X11.

Other hardware is Ryzen 7 7700X and an Asrock B650 PG Lightning motherboard.

Edit: Been using InvokeAI so far but cpu only is super slow.

Last I checked 50 series is just a lot less reliable than a 9070/XT in Linux. They should mostly work on anything with a new enough kernel but I think gamersnexus found like a 9070xt beating a 5090 in some games which is just silly, but mostly it was okay at least, and if you’re ray tracing then it’s still better even with inconsistencies. I would still probably suggest a 9070 at that price point tho.

How good is 9070/XT running image generation with stable diffusion based workloads?

ComfyUI works with a 7900xt. I imagine it works better with a 9070xt.
