6700XT vs 7800XT (First Build) (lemmy.world)

Hello, very simple question. I am doing my first build and about to order my parts, but I was wondering if the 7800XT is worth the leap and possible long-term gains over the 6700XT? I wanted to know personal experience from normal people, rather than a bunch of tech youtubers. Also if you use Linux, that would be quite helpful.

You can expect about a 20% better performance. You also have 4GB more of RAM which supposedly is good for future-proofing but only a few games and applications can even use more than 12GB right now. I don't expect it to be the norm anytime soon.

On the Linux side you should check to see if people on RX7000-series have resolved any initial issues with graphics drivers, since I've often heard reports of problems when AMD graphics cards are fresh out of release.

Thanks for the more in-depth comment. I want to build something that'll last a while without me having to upgrade it. Doing a minimal gaming build with the Fractal Terra.
