Recently, I was thinking about upgrading my gpu, but I’m a little unsure what model makes sense. My system is quite old, but I am also (modt of the times) not a lot of an ultra graphics gamer.
My system:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Mainboard: MSI B450 mortar max Gpu: gtx 1070 Case: Fractal design define mini c Power: Be quiet! Pure power 500W Atx
Actually, I want to switch to linux in the future, so I tend more to the AMD direction.
I have a budget of around 400. But I was also looking for something that isn’t too hard on the power bill…
I don’t need the newest stuff so does instance a rx 6700 make sense or would you say just changing the gpu isn’t enough?


It might not start at all, or it might run weird, or it might crash or freeze under load
