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?

i switched from rtx 2060 to 5700 xt just a few weeks ago, and a bunch of things run well that barely could before. i was mostly concerned with the forza horizons, they run perfectly now

however there are some issues, mplayer/mpv shows a blue screen on most output drivers, and steamvr just crashes, so there are things to figure out (suggestions are welcome)  

  

(btw i played w3 for a bit before on nvidia, and i had no issues, just to complicate things)
