Many (Most?) games with Linux-native ports officially support only Nvidia by game developers. I think, this is because of the drivers, their quality and stability. AMD-based card will usually work too, but (as long as I can remember) quality of their drivers were something to be desired and drivers for Linux are under heavy development, but they are open-source. In case of Proton\WINE, you could get mixed results, because some games (via DXVK) will work better with Nvidia and some are better with AMD. "Better" here as in "less graphical glitches, more performance and stability." To play modern games in 1080p 60fps with high graphics settings you would want minimum GTX1660 or better with 6Gb VRAM or more.
