As many already know, nvidia is not the best choice for linux and amd is always recommend when it is brought up, so here id like to ask an equivalent to my graphics card in amd, i know nothing about amd and dont really know where to start honestly.
GPU: gtx 1660 super processor: 11th gen i5-11400 2.60hgz x 6
what would be a similar or better choice from amd in terms of gpu that maybe doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Do nvidia or amd matter in terms of games?
any help would be very appreciated
Just did the same process 3080 -> 7900xtx.
I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers, shut down, and installed the AMD card and it’s all just worked.
I’m not sure the balance, but the RX 6600 should be a great boost. The 7600 xt seems like a solid card, but it’s among the current geb overpriced cards.
Also, speaking from experience, amdgpu has some freezing issues on the 7xxx cards. I had to add a kernel arg to mitigate the freezing.
We just got a new mesa on fedora this week and it’s improved a lot.
The RX 6600 and 7600 are only 8GB cards. I wouldn’t consider getting anything with less than 12GB for gaming now.
Also keep in mind that DXVK increases VRAM usage.
