Pick one that fits your bills! Usually, AMD ones have more VRAM for the same price compared to Nvidia... I use Nvidia here (Asus tuf rtx3080 with 12GB VRAM), but I'd use an AMD one without problems too, if I had one...

Just avoid Intel Arc right now!!!

PS: if you need CUDA, you'll have to use Nvidia

    Yeah, so you're telling me you don't want the entire idea suite installed (which can be reduced by installing only the plasma version), but you are ok having 500 different Nvidia drivers, which are at least 350MB each... grats! Continue to use flatpak!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

    Im not a PhD on Arch, but, why are you using Flatpak to install a driver that is available at AUR??? When it comes to drivers, try to stick to your distro ones, unless you really know what you are doing!

    Are you running Steam with the option to pre-cache Vulkan shaders, by any chance? It usually eats a lot of CPU when you aren't playing anything on Steam, for some minutes!!!

    I didn't switch yet for lots of reasons, but I'll write one! Games; I lose 10%-15% FPS, when gaming on Wayland, compared to using Xorg. My hardware: Ryzen 3950 CPU, 64GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 3080, 12gb VRAM GPU! This happens on each n every game, around 10%-15% FPS loss!!!
