Open source supper is better for AMD these days, I do the same but with the i5 equivalent 8600k overclocked just fine. If you will be assigning a single video card to a window virtual machine you will not need to worry about SLI or Crossfire.

If you are not doing GPU passthrough, unless you’re doing super number crunching or working in video rendering you don’t need to worry about SLI or Crossfire technologies. These technologies are for very specialized and often professional workflows for content creation or compute power via OpenCL

Hi,
I'm considering purchasing an Asus Prime Z370-A motherboard with an
i7-8700 processor for my new desktop. I plan on running fedora
exclusively with a few kvm virtual machines running fedora and win10.

I'm looking for recommendations for video controllers. It says it
supports NVIDIA 2-way SLI and AMD 3-way CrossFireX, but I'm not even
sure that I understand what that means. It also has 2xPCIe 3.0 x16
slots.

I believe the open source support for NVIDIA is better than for AMD
these days, correct?

I have about $300 to spend on a video controller. Recommendations on
specific controllers that work well with Fedora would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex
