I’m thinking about buying a new GPU. I’m looking at the 7700 xt as it’s about £355 and I want Linux support and I like newer features. Before I pull the trigger can anyone tell me why I’m making a huge mistake?
It’s a good card. Make sure you’re running a kernel with up-to-date drivers.
I’m not super familiar with the GPU market in the UK. What other cards can you get for around that price? If you can get a 6800xt for cheap, it could be better.
Just keep in mind the 6000 series cards don’t support AV1 encode and the ray tracing performance is much worse.
This is noteworthy. I have a Sapphire 7800xt Nitro+. I play in 1080p, currently grinding my way to the top in night city. Cyberpunk runs at 150+ FPS on ultra settings with RT off. Turn ray tracing on? 50fps.
It’s a very solid GPU pick, if you’re sure it’s a good match in power for your CPU.
What is your current GPU if you have one? This should help us give you some perspective if it’s worth buying it.
It’s a 2060 Super. I’m trying to move away from NVIDIA but I want an upgrade as well.
After owning a AMD card for 6 months now I can say the software experience is solid. Really depends if you are playing games with or without ray tracing. I don’t really, so it’s really been pretty good overall.
Is your monitor g or free sync?
