As per the title really. I’d be looking to pick one up second hand and use it on EndeavourOS.

Is there a really worthwhile boost in performance moving to the 6700XT, or should I wait a bit longer to get something else higher end? I will not consider Nvidia as a Linux user.

    Based on the 1440p results in that review, I would say that the upgrade might make sense, depending on the games and the price.

    It might also be worth finding out whether your games are CPU bound on your system. If they are, maybe consider an X3D CPU instead of a GPU upgrade.

      Thank you. I’m thinking waiting for the 6800XT to come down in price a bit would be best based on that.

        The 6800XT has sold above its MSRP its entire lifecycle, and has been really hard to find the last year or so. When I’ve seen it recently, its been $700-900. Unfortunately, it really is just that good.
