So i am using a GTX 750ti with one 1080p monitor and a 1050p monitor

I hardy game and mostly code on my pc with CUDA

I am planning to get an ultrawide 2560x1080 monitor

I have the 1060 and a UHD monitor. Cant really play games at that res due to screen tearing. I dont know if freesync or Nvidias gsync works on linux.

AMD is supposedly the better to get on linux atm.

For 1080p Ultrawide?

 

There options could be ok:

* RX 570 4GB (assuming pricing isn't substantially above MSRP)

* RX 580 8GB (assuming pricing isn't substantially above MSRP)

* GTX 1060 6GB (Also assuming pricing isn't substantially above MSRP)

 

If you're gonna buy an Ultrawide then I'd recommend buying a Freesync Ultrawide (even if you end up with a GeForce GTX GPU)

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

How to setup MSI Afterburner OSD | How to make your AMD Radeon GPU more efficient with Radeon Chill | (Probably) Why LMG Merch shipping to the EU is expensive

Oneplus 6 (Early 2023 to present) | HP Envy 15" x360 R7 5700U (Mid 2021 to present) | Steam Deck (Late 2022 to present)

 

Mid 2023 AlTech Desktop Refresh - AMD R7 5800X (Mid 2023), XFX Radeon RX 6700XT MBA (Mid 2021), MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon (Early 2018), 32GB DDR4-3200 (16GB x2) (Mid 2022

Noctua NH-D15 (Early 2021), Corsair MP510 1.92TB NVMe SSD (Mid 2020), beQuiet Pure Wings 2 140mm x2 & 120mm x1 (Mid 2023),

I am planning to use NVIDIA CUDA for coding so AMD won't work

Thanks for the help

Oh ok then....... I would generally recommend OpenCL instead of Cuda but if you NEED to use Cuda....
