makem@makem-pc:~$Currenty I am playing NMS using the integrated GPU but can only play using GEForce NOW. I play for an hour at a time free and would need some 89 for a years subscription to 6 hour sessions.
The alternative is to buy a dedicated GPU now when the price is apparently high. Now knowing anything about GPU's and whether they would be compatible with Linux is a problem for me.
I am asking for advice on buying a card which would not 'just' support NMS, but a little more. (No idea what as I am not normally a gamer) One I could be confident would work 'out of the box' in my setup.
Big ask I know, but I am hopeful :)
No Man's Sky minimum GPU spec. suggestions from research:
GeForce GTX 480 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB or AMD Radeon R9 285 2GB
The only one I have found a price for is the MSI NVIDIA GTX 980 4 GB
PCI Express 256 Bit Gaming Graphics Card
Supplier recommended minimum PC:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit.

makem@makem-pc:~$Currenty I am playing NMS using the integrated GPU but can only play using GEForce NOW. I play for an hour at a time free and would need some 89 for a years subscription to 6 hour sessions.
The alternative is to buy a dedicated GPU now when the price is apparently high. Now knowing anything about GPU's and whether they would be compatible with Linux is a problem for me.
I am asking for advice on buying a card which would not 'just' support NMS, but a little more. (No idea what as I am not normally a gamer) One I could be confident would work 'out of the box' in my setup.
Big ask I know, but I am hopeful :)
No Man's Sky minimum GPU spec. suggestions from research:
GeForce GTX 480 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB or AMD Radeon R9 285 2GB
The only one I have found a price for is the MSI NVIDIA GTX 980 4 GB
