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?

    I dont know what CachyOS is… but if you’re willing to try hardware changing, why not try an OS change first?

    Specifically, a change to a gaming focused linux distro (like Nobara, or Bazzite), that comes with a nvidia specific iso?

    See if that solves your issue before dropping money on a new card.

      Soooo after finishing my popcorn and reading the funny “discussion” between you and captain gatekeeper, here is my real reply.

      https://cachyos.org/ its a arch based distro which was recommend by many for gaming. Usually I am a “standard arch” fan but for my living room I wanted a distro wich does not give me so much headache.

      I am not used with fedora based distros and also usually I am not a friend of distro hopping, especially when i dont really finished my installation scripts so a new distro would also a pain in the ass to configure 😄

      To be honest I think i need to admit that i am ready for an upgrade in my hardware and also search for a reason to buy a NRW GPU, but still wanna consider my options.

      Out of curiosity, how hard is the switch to a fedora based Linux if I am usually used to use arch or Debian based distros?

      CachyOS is gaming focused though, their GUI has a button to install their gaming meta package. they also package their own Proton which shows up in Steam as a compatibility option.

      cyberpunk at least seems to run noticeably better for me on CachyOS than it did on Win11, on exactly the same hardware (5800x3d, rtx 4080)

        Ah, well, I don’t know then. Sorry, like I said, I know nothing about CachyOS… but it wouldnt hurt to try, regardless, since switching from nvidia to amd would basically be easiest with a reformat anyway.

      You know Nobara & Bazzite but you never heard of the CachyOS?.. Tell me you’re a troll without telling me you’re one.

        How dare I suggest someone try save some money by trying a free option first, and not have the full and intimate knowledge of everything in existence.

        I shall submit myself to 50 lashings for the egregious sin of not knowing your favorite distro. For give me, lord, for I have sinned most vile.

          Well how hope you really do it…

          To have the audacity to give me a nice advice without knowing every distro ever. Did you even used Hannah Montana Linux?

          50 lashes will be both enough, you gonna use win 11 for two days and I hope you learn from that to not be a nice person on the internet without knowing if there is a new distro!

            Respectfully, You need to find a good therapist and talk your rage issues out with them, before you snap and do something terrible to a loved one. Please. For your sake, and those around you.

              Kindly you need to fuck off with that bullshit and stop lying to people about you not knowing what CachyOS Linux distro is. I don’t know what kind of mental masturbation you do with this kind of bullshit but, you’re not convincing anyone.
