Hello everyone. Hope everyone had a good week. I was out of town for most of it for Thanksgiving so I didn’t game much beyond some Balatro on my phone. Hope everyone has a great week!

I upgraded from an RTX 3070 and I don’t regret it one bit. It’s significantly faster, the VRAM helps a lot, and I’ve been a Linux gamer for like 2 years now, so it runs significantly better in UE5 titles. Using an Nvidia card in a UE5 game on Linux right now has something like a 20% performance deficit because of how unoptimized it is. I haven’t tried to play Clair Obscur yet, which is the game that gave me so many microstuters that I couldn’t play at all.
The card also undervolts/underclocks very well to save a significant amount of power and heat with like a 3% performance decrease, which helps because I have a small form factor case. I got a good holiday deal on mine and it sounds like prices are expected to go higher again with the RAM situation, so hopefully they don’t go back into scalper territory again by the time you’re looking at 'em.
Yeah Linux was also a consideration for me since im switching soon and im still on an nvidia card.
