I’m thinking about exchanging my amd 7900xtx for an rtx 4090.
Its pretty good. Having a 4070 Super and I am very happy.
We are also in contact directly with NVIDIA Developers, and in urgent issues we can easily report bugs and they get pretty fast looked into. Also, sometimes they provide us patches for testing.
Genreally NVIDIA improved a lot, there are some pending issues like Multi Monitor VRR (they reproduced the bug now and it will be worked on).
Besides it runs pretty fine and they are currently focusing a lot on linux.
I’ve been using an RTX 4070 for a month or so on Fedora 40 and CachyOS under wayland with gnome and steam. My son played a couple of games on both Linux systems and deems them both good, subjectively snappier on CachyOS.
Side note for older hardware owners: Wayland is also working fine both with laptop GTX 950m (hybrid graphics with Intel i7-4720HQ) and desktop GTX 960 amongst my machines. Primarily using KDE, but GNOME works fine as well.
My only slip-up is when I realize I’m accidentally using the wrong video driver, but I haven’t had any problems with Steam, and Lutris lets you choose your graphics card per program.
using a gtx 1650(Gddr6 desktop) here its not that bad anymore but you cannot config the settings on wayland sadly and i dont think there is rtx and dlss support but most gtx features should work well
