Hi there, I am currently looking for a replacement for my GTX1060.

existing hardware

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

  • RAM 16GB DDR4 @3600mHz

  • Motherboard MSI b550a-pro

  • PSU 750W

  • Usecase: Unreal Engine 5 and Jedi Fallen Order are the most expensive things I can think of

  • Budget ~300€

  • OS Linux Mint (Linux Kernel 6.8)

    • I was originally thinking about going with an AMD RX7600 since it's cheap and meets the recommended specs for Unreal Engine 5 (8GB VRAM, Raytracing).

    Asking in other forums the intel Arc B580 was recommended. It looks promising, but since Arc GPUs are quite new, I am worried about compatibility and stability.

    Are any of you using an Arc GPU at the moment and what are your experiences in Linux, primarily with productivity?

    How stable are the drivers in your experience?

    Could you recommend going with intel or sticking to AMD for the best experience?

    Love or hate them. But performance wise, LTT had a glowing review of the new battlemage GPUs.

    Fwiw both GamersNexus and HardwareUnboxed also posted positive reviews.

    I generally find Linus Sebastian's judgment and analysis to be of low quality, but Battlemage could still be good. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    Yeah, I'm a bit mixed with them for sure. But the numbers definitely look good.
