OS: CachyOS GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Board: MPG B550 GAMING PLUS CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (16) @ 4.43 GHz Memory: 31.26 GiB

i try to keep it short: i have issues with some games (like the witcher 3) and often hear that its an issue with nvidia drivers etc…

So my question is: would a switch / small upgrade to a AMD Radeon 6800 be worth it?

    Next week when i am back in town I gonna try the driver switch.

    So far the idea was sell my, buy 6800 used so the upgrade would be around 50€

      I’m unsure what your paying and where your located to be exact but I can hunt around for you locally. We have pretty good GPU prices around here. East coast USA. 6800 is a decent card but for the cost I bet we can get a 6800xt or maybe even a 6900xt. For what I paid for my last 6800xt I was able to get a 6900xt for 20USD more which is a much more capable card. Do you have the PSU to run a beefy GPU? I got my 7900xt about 350 to 400 dollars off new and it was open box only still new. How much you trying to get USD for the 3070? I might have a buyer already for you. 3rd question. I’ve got a 6800xt on hand as well. It’s a Red Dragon 6800xt.

          All good. Shipping is an option. But shop around and try to pull an XT model or a 6900xt can be sometimes had for 6800xt amount. I know because I just scored a 6900xt for 345usd.
