I’ve been out of the loop for a while so please help me here.
But I’ve been waiting for a long while for a GPU to replace my GTX970 that can just run modern and upcoming games for a few years at 60 fps in 1080p without all the excess cost, size and power consumption required for 4k or raytracing. It must also run well in Linux (screw you nvidia). That card does sound like exactly what I’ve been waiting for.
I am pretty sure the 1st generation of these cards did not work well on linux which is the only catch I can see although that was much more unrefined then this generation seems to be so might wait a couple months and see how driver support is doing before jumping on one of these cards

Where’s the catch? Is there one?
I would wait for 3rd party reviews, but so far it looks like an insane deal for 1080p and even 1440p gaming.
First generation had growing pain issues, but they had worked everything out by now.
