6700XT vs 7800XT (First Build) (lemmy.world)

Hello, very simple question. I am doing my first build and about to order my parts, but I was wondering if the 7800XT is worth the leap and possible long-term gains over the 6700XT? I wanted to know personal experience from normal people, rather than a bunch of tech youtubers. Also if you use Linux, that would be quite helpful.

The only issue with the 7800XT is that the 7000 series is still kind of unstable on Linux

Is it? I haven't seen any problems since I put together my 7800XT build in November.

Well, other than having a cable jammed against the top of my case too tight so if my cat jumps on it the graphics card loses power and the driver crashes... but I assume that's not what we're talking about.

It depends on your distro I guess

6.3+ kernel runs the 7800XT just fine.

malarkey, as a general comment. depends on distro and Wayland vs x11. modern distro with Wayland no issues, typically
