Switching to AMD GPU for better gaming performance? (feddit.org)

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've had no issues with nVidia GPU and TW3, running it with protonGE 9.26. Try that first if you haven't already

The witcher was just an example, hoped for an easy fix for example the dead space female had some stutters too. But i think i gonna check the configs and post them wehen I am back in town

Understood. I mentioned TW3 because I found it to be very anal about Proton versions, but I've never had any problems that could be attributed to nVidia with any games I've played. I ran the official, close-source drivers
