Sorry to have to make a post about this but it’s one of those things you need to be familiar with and I’m not.
I’m looking to upgrade from a 2060 Super to a Radeon as I’m mostly using Linux now. I’m not too fussed about buying new and I’d like to keep the cost down but if I’m changing I’d like to by something noticeably better than what I have. Any idea what’s a good buy in the market right now? I don’t care about ray-tracing.
I have a 6800XT that I use on Linux and it works great i can even ray trace to some extent. I have not had a problem with 90% of the games I throw at it. I play games that released last week.
I have a 7800 xt and that’s about the same performance as the 6800 xt (Thanks AMD for the confusing naming, the MSRP of the 7800xt was originally $150 cheaper than the 6800xt) and if you can find it for similar prices it’s good as well
Yeah if you can get a 6800 XT for around $450 that’s a reasonable deal, that’d be ≈80% faster. Could also look at the Radeon 9060 XT, if you can get it for MSRP of $350 it’s looking to be ≈50% faster than what you have.
6750XT is working great in PikaOS for me, have been playing Cyberpunk 2077 at very high settings (with RT off), 1440p, hitting around 100 fps. It has crashed once though, but that might just be a Cyberpunk thing rather than a Radeon thing.
NOTE THAT I HAVE LITTLE TO NO EXPERIENCE WITH PCS, I HAVE NEVER BUILT ONE! PLEASE TAKE ANY ADVICE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT THANKS
Online I found lots of people like the 6800 XT as a good value.
AGAIN I DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH PCS, DO NOT USE THIS COMMENT TO MAKE A FINAL JUDGEMENT OR PURCHASE THANKS
