The website I checked out to compare the cards showed the age of the cards. The 710 was first sold in 2015 and 2017 for the 580. I can't see myself spending several hundred for the latest and greatest.

the 710 is almost a decade old even though it is being sold. the 580 is still several core architectures behind.

I looked up the two cards you mentioned and they perform pretty much the same, but they appear to blow the GT710 out of the water if this is to be believed. I think I'll give up on getting nvenc to work on the gt 710. I imagine the rx580 will do much better.

Thise are in the 50-100 price range that the 710 is.

The card I have now is a GeForce GT 710. What Radeon card would be equivalent to that? I don't want to buy something that turns out to be slower.

I doubt it. They won't reveal the interface without an NDA that Free
Software developers can't sign.

Nvidia doesn't care. They're in the top 6 worldwide richest
corporations because of their leadership in AI chips, so they don't
care about a few Linux people stuck with Nvidia hardware.

If you can, I'd advise you to do what I did and switch from Nvidia to
Radeon the minute your machine exhibits the slightest flakiness or
video artifacts.
