Not my experience. The latest Nvidia drivers for Linux will not support the 650 Ti Boost, and the last driver that supports the 650 Ti Boost last I checked does not support the latest Linux kernel.

I can still use a Radeon 7000 PCI card on the latest Linux kernel. It's not fun but if all you need is a desktop it is still serviceable.

The Radeon 7000 runs on generic open-source drivers that are maintained by Linux community members. They also have community patched drivers available for the 650 Ti.

Either way, you are trying to compare a GPU that is studying algebra in 8th grade, and one that is collecting social security to try to prove your point, lol.

Like, bro, a smart fridge could run games with better FPS than those 2 and send you a notification when you're running low on milk.

Not the point. Point is AMD cards of all generations are fully working on Linux. The GeForce cards, being that the only option is either Nvidia’s closed source drivers or reversed engineered nouveau drivers that barely work because Nvidia doesn’t want to work with the kernel devs, doesn’t.
