We have to choose one. Because amd doesnā€™t have Integrated GPU.

And in India, amd gpu are very expensive and I donā€™t need dedicated GPU.

So, I chose intel.
(I will be building new pc in july this year)

AMD it is I guess.

Ok, but I donā€™t need integrated GPU.
My problem is, I canā€™t buy my favorite hardware, out of stock or double price and delivery in the middle of next month. :slight_smile: :smiley: :rofl:

The traders are crazy.

wait so what happened? i have AMD and NVIDIA components

Only low end processor come with onboard graphics. And tbh, the quality of onboard graphics is not upto the mark, imo.

NVIDIA doesnā€™t support open source and do not have any drivers for Linux at all.
Installing nvidia graphics is a pain for most, so many open ource lovers donā€™t buy any nvidia gpu and advice others to not buy either, to discourage this behavior.

Interesting definition for low end processorā€¦ Is Ryzen 5/7 considered low end?
I thought Iā€™ve bought a good laptopā€¦ :sob:

Sure, although nouveau does a decent job, unlessā€¦ you want to play games :laughing: .
Kids wanna play!! :rofl:

We are talking about desktop processors btw. And ryzen 5600x/5800x/5900x doesnā€™t comes with integrated gpu.

Is that a GPU brand? It doesnā€™t sell products in India at all. So

Or use Blender but with 16 cores is useless (I hope).
If time comes I put my old 1060 GPU in new PC.

The old PC has integrated GPU in i7 3770K, fine for testing and data cloud :slight_smile:

Hopefully the pandemic will pass while Iā€™m still alive.

The only one I can boot the ISO on my crazy PC today :slight_smile:

Well shit...looks like I'm gonna have my hands full with this 3070 then

No, really! I haven't used any NVIDIA gpu and won't use any time soon.
(Though I had heard nouveau before, but didn't know exactly what it is :sweat_smile:)
