I finally did it and got an used RX 6950 XT to replace my GTX 1080 Ti. I’ve been using this card ever since I moved to Linux and now I’m wondering what exactly I have to do. On Windows it’s mostly run DDU and install the new AMD drivers, everything else will probably work the same with Afterburner etc.
However, on Linux the only things I know are uninstalling the Nvidia drivers, removing GWE since that obviously won’t work and installing Mesa.
What other steps do people recommend? I’m hyped to finally get properly working GPU acceleration in Firefox and other things like Steam, but is there anything I have to do to get that running? Also what tools are currently a must with an AMD card for some undervolting / overclocking and other functionality y’all can recommend?
That 1080ti deserves a rest, but I would totally build a second PC with it
Definitely, she has served me like the absolute beast she is. To this day the card actually deserves very admirable even in modern titles. The next destination might actually be my roommates PC who’se still running a 960 which is pretty lackluster these days with 2 GB of VRAM.
