iamjaideep80 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hello, I am planning to buy new PC and mostly sure about the configuration. But confused about which graphics card to choose. Following are the constraints. 1. Needs to have stable Linux drivers. I will mostly use Ubuntu 14 2. Needs to run with Houdini. Houdini 15 requires an OpenGL 3 compliant graphics card and a driver that provides OpenGL 3.3 support. 2GB VRAM or more is recommended. 3. Budget is under 20K Indian Rupees. There are 3 choices in front of me. Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 AMD FirePro V4900 1GB AMD FirePro W4100 2GB Which one of these is stable with Linux and Houdini ?

malexander Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 AMD's drivers are somewhat troublesome on Linux, from what I've heard. Nvidia's Linux drivers are just as good as their Windows drivers. I'd choose the NV 960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtw Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 ATI/AMD's for me historically has been nothing more than a wet fart driver wise, especially with linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
