I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

I paid like $800+ for the 2080 Super just after the pandemic started.

Now also on the 9070 XT and 9950X3D and 64 GB of DDR5. Dream combos. Plays anything. On Linux.

I've got an 2080super I been damn near trying to give away.

You're kidding. Recently as well? I'd think it would be ~~very~~ more in demand now what with the component shortage.

Yeah I have a whole PC build just sitting idle collecting dust not even plugged in. Intel 12900k I think with a 2080super and 16gb ram. Forget the ssd space. I been trying to get rid of it. Where I am the PC market is decent but not jumping like everyone is saying.
