6700xt is very solid. I game at 1440p and as long as I don’t turn ray tracing on, it runs all of my games above 60fps at max settings. Admittedly I don’t play many AAA games. The most demanding game I’ve tried on it is probably Cyberpunk 2077.
Think I’ll pull the trigger and get that, only $350 so it’s decent. Now that I think about it, 2077 was also the last demanding game I played lol. My 1080 chugged on that. Also Gears of War it struggled. Doesn’t bother me too much anymore, idc about triple A games now. Mostly getting for better Linux support.
I own a 6700xt and also play in 2k - there’s a great price quality relationship with this card and it performs great. This card will absolutely do the job and way more than enough - Unless you want to experience ray-tracing or VR but also linux sadly is not the best platform for those features
Raytracing is meant to be enabled on AMD cards in the Mesa 23.2 update, fwiw. But yeah, AMD aren’t really leading the way on that, so it’ll be mostly novelty value I fear.
If you’re willing to buy used there are mega cards going for under 600 on most marketplaces. Surplus, and little interest from consumers have brought back cheap second hand hardware. It’s really a buyers market right now.*
There are people out there selling broken cards but if the mining card works then is there really any evidence that it’s less performant or any more likely to fail than a lightly used gaming card?
I’ve almost always bought new but I’d prefer to buy used now to save money and hopefully find out if it has any coil wine. That’s if used prices were any different than new (Ebay’s UK used prices are dumb).
Best bang for the buck is probably the 6700XT. It will run all the the biggest games at 1440p with decent fps. If you’re at 1080p, there’s nothing it can’t handle. If you’re looking at 4K gaming, you’re going to want a bit more juice if you want good framerates.
This post is the reason I looked up the trailer. After watching that and seeing the second search result, I’ll definitely be watching the movie when it’s available to stream.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don’t know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he’s said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
This is what the radical feminist movement was proposing, remember? Women need a man the way a fish needs a bicycle… unless it turns out that they’re little fish, then you might need another fish around to help take care of things.
I’m not a bot, but please don’t take Ben Shapiro seriously.
It means that if you ever find me, Margot Robbie, attractive in any way, shape or form, you are now gay, and you must support the gay agenda and LGBT rights immediately.
Would laugh my ass off if in five or six years you actually ended up being Margot Robbie and were just playing it up like it was a fake account this whole time.
