Default According to Pro Tools Min. Requirements - Nvidia GPU?

Anyone using a Radeon GPU? As most of you who frequent this section know, I'm in the middle of designing a PC and I was told to avoid Nvidia Graphics Cards if the system will only be used for Audio [Driver issues apparently?] but I'm looking at Pro Tools minimum requirements and it says "Compatible Nvidia Graphics Card"

I don't need anything fancy, just needs to be able to handle busy HD plugin GUIs and a bit of video editing.

I think I have it down to the Radeon Sapphire PULSE RX 580 8gb OR EVGA Geforce GTX 1660 6GB Black Gaming GDDR5 which is a Nvidia Card. The Geforce is obviously more expensive, is it worth it for a Pro Tools computer?

Hmmm, who told you to avoid nVidia(and why)? My 2 cents is; use nVidia graphics with intel cpu, and use Amd graphics with AMD cpu. Used Quadro K2000 and similar are a relative bargain, but I can't advise on if that's enough to handle your needs(because I rarely work with video)
