Looking into a new GPU, thoughts?

Gaming
1

Howdy folks,
I am currently running a NVIDIA RTX 2060 and a Intel Core i-5 10400f
I am looking into potentially upgrading my card and I'm leaning towards team blue/team red just to try something different

the Intel Arc B580 seems to be the way to go, but i'd like to see what y'all reckon based off anyones experinces with AMD or Intel Cards.

I am doing 1440p/1080p gaming mainly and development/3dmodelling and modding so nothing 4k/pushing the bounds

You could go to AMD; there You wouldn't need to Care about installing Drivers because they are in the Kernel. But depending on how new the Card is, it could be neccessary to install a newer Kernel.

Maybe look at Sapphire for a Card.

You would... Strangely... Have better driver support with AMD than with Intel Arc.

This may seem counter-intutive, but for reasons only known within Intel, they have been reticent to provide drivers Linux side for the Arc GPU stack, releasing bits at a time. Most Arc cards should be supported on Linux by now but... It may remain spotty.
