  • 6800 xt might match 3070’s performance on Linux, but I would not consider it an “upgrade”. I would recommend looking up more info on ProtonDB and posting specific questions (if you have not tried that already).

    Yes, choosing an AMD gpu will give you other benefits as well, like system stability etc., but make sure your purchase decision is worth it.

    If I am not wrong, you can sell you 3070 for about $150-200 and buy a used 6800xt for about $220.

    One more thing you can try before buying anything… Try a different OS, like Bazzite or Nobara based on Fedora, or PopOS based on Debian. Different bases can alter performance. I had a laptop with 3060 and it always performed slightly worse on Arch and Debian based systems. For some reasons, the GPU didn’t exceed 85 watts, even though the TDP was 100 watts. Only Fedora and it’s derivates make my GPU work as intended. But this is a case for laptop GPUs.
