It's been a few years so their drivers are largely fine. As long as you play more popular games they should run just fine. At this point it's pretty rare for a game to not run/run so unbearably bad that it's unplayable. The Arc will probably get your better performance per dollar, but the RX will be a more consistent experience. (This feels like talking about amd 15 years ago lol)

Ran an Arc A750 for a couple of years. Perfectly capable card. Don‘t expect miracles of performance@4k but it could hold its own on modern games (BG3, CS2, Helldivers2). Mostly ran 1440. (also old games like Company of Heroes.. but not really stressing the card with that one)
Also ran it in Linux for quite a while. Set and forget there. It was easily a smooth card. I‘m a fan of Arc. I‘m running a 7900xtx these days as I snagged one cheap, but I‘d easily look at Arc again. I‘ve heard Battlemage is really a good step up.
AMD. Because well known. Works good. Lasts a long time, FSR.
Nvidia and Intel GPUs can use FSR too. Outside of FSR4 which is 9000 series only so a 7600 wouldn't even get it.
That is DLSS.
No. DLSS is only on Mvidia RTX GPUs. All GPUs can do both FSR and XeSS.
Excluding FSR 4 which is RX9000 series only.
Oh. So people are correcting me for being right then. Got it lol.
No it’s not.
DLSS is proprietary. FSR (apart from the latest revision as pointed out) is not.
Can amd do DLSS?
No. That's nVidia's exclusive frame generation tech. Even some nVidia cards don't support all versions of it, even though they could.
Do you like to try new things? Have things fail for obscure reasons?
I definitely don't wanna try new things if I'm spending 200 euros on them.
