Do these cards have good open-source Linux drivers?
Been a while but I played around with the a770 in Arch for a few months. It didn't play nice with proton and even native games were hit and miss. Better support from Intel than nvidia gives, but it's a new platform and Linux development was definitely taking a back seat to the windows drivers which were also a buggy mess.
And basically nobody had the cards so if something didn't work your options were to give up or become a computer graphics programming wizard and fix it all yourself from scratch.
To answer the question: not really, no. The drivers themselves may have been fine, but who knows how any given software will handle a brand new GPU architecture.
