Switching to AMD GPU for better gaming performance? (feddit.org)

OS: CachyOS GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Board: MPG B550 GAMING PLUS CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (16) @ 4.43 GHz Memory: 31.26 GiB

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?

Seems to generally work OK with Nvidia, but you may want to try Proton experimental or GE.
If you search 3070 one user also using NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 seems to have it running out of the box with only a minor glitch.
But there seems to be a pretty heavy overweight of Radeon users. But IDK if we can draw any conclusions from that?
The game has platinum status, so it ought to work on a decent GPU/system like yours.
