been running an nvidia gpu since 2019, literally switched from windows right as cyberpunk 2077 was being launched, and trust me, it was possible back then, and it's even more performant now.

I have a 3090ti. Made the switch to Linux last year after reading that most games work. Never had a problem with the card, it works flawlessly out of the box (using the proprietary Nvidia drivers).

It still was a bit of a learning curve for me though... Using steam they work without a hitch. If they are not on steam, I found that the easiest (for me) is to install them using lutris, and then adding them to steam as non-steam games and using Proton to run them.

I don't play that many games though, so ymmv

I'm on a 5090 and bazzite has (in the majority of games and apps) just worked.

I have a brand-new lenovo workstation with an nVidia RTX card. Works great. Vulcan calculates the shader cache on first run of a game that takes a minute to run through, but after that the game runs great. I'm on tumbleweed, the only issue I had past week was kernel moved ahead but the nvidia driver wasn't ready right away. Just meant booting the old kernel in the boot menu till that all syncs up

I have a 3070 and it runs the majority of games better than windows. The "Nvidia doesnt work good for linux" statement has become dated. Nvidia has become much better about giving support to other platforms, I think it has alot to do with being flexible for the ai market

As long as you run the proprietary nvidia drivers, performance is more or less noise for a given driver version. There IS some annoyance with slower releases for drivers to Linux but... nvidia has had much bigger problems with new driver releases over the past year.

The big issue is if you run the open source community drivers. And... if you are spending leather jacket money and then using low performance drivers... you are an idiot. Because Mistah J already has the metrics and money he wants and doesn't care if you actually use your card after buying it.

Check my post history I repeat this so often I'm getting tired of it, sorry, but basically 2080ti since it's out, been gaming nearly daily on it, from AAA to indie, from "flat" to VR and... it just works. I just followed https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers and that's it, no tinkering.

My rtx2080ti runs perfectly in linux and fine on games, thats fairly old card too. My kids computers use gtx1050's and they are also running every game including Roblox just fine.

Desktop on a 3060 Ti is doing fine. Never ran Windows on it to compare though

The only real issue is hdr in my experience, runs fine through gamescope usually but I've found the proton only option (expose Wayland and the like through proton_ge) technically work but the colours are washed out (and yeah, I have all the dxvk hdr stuff there). Dlss and frame gen work perfectly fine, HDR through gamescope does work as well for most games, bl4 has weird dlss artifacts in linux for some reason but that's the notable standout to me. Been running a 4070ti for the last year for reference, I do intend to go amd at some point but nvidia works fine.
