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?
Are you going to notice a decent performance improvement? Probably not unless your card or drivers are currently not working properly.
Will driver updates and configuration be a lot less of a hassle? Most likely yes!
Thats the answer I read the most. So its gonna be a bit of troubleshooting next week :)
What’s your budget on a gpu? I seen your other post same as this one. Secondly your running into most likely driver issues nvidia truly us miserable to game on especially Linux gaming. I’ve built dozens and dozens of computers. I generally build full AMD rigs if someone wants to game hassle free. That being said before you go spending on a 6800 it’s better to know your goal as in frames, stability, hassle your willing to deal with, and lastly budget. You certainly won’t regret going full AMD and the 6800 is a decent card. Have you tried switching to different drivers of nvidia? Like 570 open or other numbers manually within your OS?
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.
