    When I was in the market for a new card 2 years ago I looked into AMD, but learned that they don’t work as well as Nvidia for GPU passthrough to VMs, which I need to work. I’d love to switch because Nvidia is a shit company, but AMD GPU’s just don’t work for my use case.

    I’m curious though because I don’t know what I’m missing. What are the features in AMD drivers that make it more complete?

      As I said, AMD works much better with wayland and gamescope, thus has, for example, HDR and VRR support. Besides that, their Linux drivers are open source and more stable.

      But to my knowledge, AMD GPUs pass through just fine to VMs? What was your problem with them?
