Sadly if you want a GPU with good AI performance you gotta go with NVIDIA. It might sound crazy but as a 7900XTX owner.. My 12GB 3060 on my linux server outperformed the 7900XTX by 40%. The 3060 only has half the vram of the AMD card. Proprietary drivers under Arch Linux.

On top of the significantly worse software on AMD's side (literally didn't work on windows in particular - so the "performs as good on both systems" is a nonstarter, some GGUF library dependency just doesn't work/exist under AMD on windows). Had me running the AMD card on windows under WSL (not a problem with nvidia though, that ran just fine on windows-side directly).

Aaaand also the other AMD bugs, such as the pink squares display corruption that has been an active issue for my GPU in particular (7900XTX) for over a year, maybe approaching two at this point, with no fix in sight from the AMD team (barely and ack at all - not on a single patch notes, just a bunch of reddit discussion). Really regret spending so much on an AMD gpu.
