From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Switching to AMD GPU for better gaming performance? (feddit.org)

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?

Edit: Small updates:

witcher 3 was an example. I play newer stuff. But my partner is paying witcher 3 and it lags, while I had to just tune down some settings in horizon remaster.
I would buy an used and sell mine (would get around the same price on eBay ±40€

Its not worth switching GPU for this. 3070 should be plenty capable of running witcher3. Ive got a friend running a 3060 and she plays all kinds of games with very few driver issues.

We should troubleshoot your issue first and see if a new GPU is required.

I put dozens of hours into the Witcher 3 running it at 3880x1440 on a 2070 super.

So I did all this on the game of the year edition with a graphics patch/mod.

Cdpr released the remaster which, in my opinion, looks about the same. But it performed like total ass.

You can download and run the old version and throw on the graphics patches. I lost significant amounts of frames with the cdpr remaster vs base game with mod
