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?

    How reliable is your gpu in linux, and what are you usually using it for, if you don't mind me asking?

    could be better

    ATLEAST Wayland doesn't suck ass on it

    Otherwise, I do gaming, you would likely get better FPS on windows with the drivers at hand generally being behind but that would improve with adoption and time

    Either way, it wouldn't be a total disaster but since it has less market share issues with it would be exasperated, so don't be too cutting edge with arch

    Although it's fine with opensuse tumbleweed on my end
