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€

    Its not worth switching GPU for this. 3070 should be plenty capable of running witcher3. Ive got a friend running a 3060 and she plays all kinds of games with very few driver issues.

    We should troubleshoot your issue first and see if a new GPU is required.

    I went from being annoyed with my 3080 to being extremely happy with my 7900xt. The driver issues no longer became an issue because AMD. One important detail is this was a new build which meant I also went from a 3700X to a 9800x3D.

    Personally it’s worth it ESPECIALLY since gpu prices have come down.

    Do not. Amd gpu drivers are completely broken, they reset every 10 minutes and it takes years to fix. Amd has thousands and thousands of issues open and doesn’t care

      I can count on 1 hand the number of GPU driver resets I’ve had this year, and they all started when I got my new 9070XT, and stopped when I nuked my multiple years old Arch install.
