As others have said the prices are very bad for any of the better
cards. I was looking at a card before for $150 that was decent, the
prices I find for it now are 2x if you can even find it.
You might be best off buying one that is good enough for now and then
replacing it with another when the m

Not remotely true in my experience. I always give the nouveau drivers a shot
in every new fedora release and they always crash my system within a week

Unfortunately, video cards are just crazy right now, as others have

Yes, but... It's going to depend on how the card works.
4k resolution is 3840 × 2160 pixels = 8,294,400 addressable pixels.
8,294,400 addresses × 3 (red, green, & blue colours) = 24,883,

Radeon and AMDGPU open source drivers are included in Fedora Linux
directly... no need for third-party repos.

Alex,
In order to support two monitors today, and the addition of a 3rd 4K monitor in
the futureyou'll need a video card which supports 3+ video ports and at
least one of those ports must also support 4k output, i.e. 3840x2160
resolution, at a minimum.
I research/review products, especially

In my experience the only reliable open source drivers are the
ones for Intel, and Intel doesn't make a stand alone video
card, just on board video for Intel motherboards.
For several releases now I've given the nouveau drivers a chance
on each new fedora install, and within a week (usually within

Hi,
I have about $300 to spend on a new video controller for my desktop.
I'm using f33 with Xwayland and GNOME. I currently have two 27"
monitors and plan to get a third 32" 4K in the coming months. I have
an i7-8700 3.2Ghz on an Asus PRIME Z370-A with 64GB.
