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
However, if you are set on upgrading, I’d look at any of their 6000 series, from the 6600 on up to the 6950XT. I don’t recommend anything below the 6600 from that generation. Since you didn’t give a price range, I gave you a GPU range. All of those GPU’s are getting heavy discounts and they’re all solid cards. Only thing to note is if you go for the 6800XT and above to make sure your power supply can handle it. While they weren’t as bad as Nvidia, they could still suck down power.
I think I would personally recommend the 6700XT. I believe it has 12 GB of VRAM which will help it last longer in the coming years. 8 GB just doesn’t cut it anymore.
ill keep an eye on the 6800xt than, maybe once it doesnt cost an arm ill get one, thanks
For what it’s worth, I upgraded from a GTX 1080 to a 6700XT and that was a noticeable improvement. 6700xt is pretty cheap by GPU standards these days.
almost 400 euros is cheap nowadays???
Unfortunately, yes. For what it’s worth I picked mine up for $320 USD, so you can get them cheaper
