graphics card rec?

[karu.pruun]

Intel i915 is for Intel's integrated graphics. For a Ryzen system your
best and only bet is a radeon card. I am running 2600 with R7 360
(Gigabyte) 2GB and although there is no support for gpu acceleration,
desktop work w/o gaming is absolutely fine. I'm using HDMI though, I'm
not sure how good is the displayport support in general; maybe someone
else can comment. It can drive 3840x2160 at 30Hz but I'm using
2560x1440 at 60Hz since I find it easier on my eyes.

Cheers

Peeter
