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?
Edit: Small updates:
- witcher 3 was an example. I play newer stuff. But my partner is paying witcher 3 and it lags, while I had to just tune down some settings in horizon remaster.
- I would buy an used and sell mine (would get around the same price on eBay ±40€
It would very much depend on how much you are going to spend. Are you selling the old GPU and getting the “new” GPU second hand? Or are you just straight up buying a new GPU?
And what 6800 exactly are you thinking of?
The difference in performance will be minimal. And something like The Witcher 3 is a very old game, so it’s not like you need the performance at all.
I would first dive into the exact issues and figure out if it’s actually related to the drivers. Usually the issues with drivers are more with new games, not something old. Keep in mind Witcher 3 has always been a janky game, so a certain number of issues is expected. And this is doubly true when using mods.
Plan was to sell the old one and buy a second hand one, since my board is not the newest and I hoped for an easier solution than troubleshooting.
It seems that everybody tells me its not worth it and can lead to simliar issues? So I gonna try troubleshooting when i am back home and send some more details :)
