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€

    This sounds like driver clash. 6900xt will walk all over a 1080ti. 9070xt is good but for the price you can get a 7900xt much cheaper and gain vram over 1 to 15 frames.

      No, it wasn’t a driver clash. I tried a lot of things including downloading the pro drivers that were also recommended on trying. At the time, there was a problem with AMD cards and CryEngine games performing badly.

        Interesting. Usually AMD gets better with age and stability is much better than Nvidia. Although raw hardware performance Nvidia usually wins but the headaches usually aren’t worth it when you play little of everything especially indie games on steam. IMO.

          Yea, I was pretty disappointed with it as I really wanted to move to AMD. I’m glad it’s going well this time around though.
