Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this (feel free to point me to a better community) but I’m in a weird “predicament” this summer: My AMD build plans are in shambles after receiving a free ROG Astral 5080.

Now I want to make the switch now with my current (Intel i7-13700K) hardware + this new card. I was only considering AMD before but it’s really hard to say no to a video card worth more than my entire budget lol

The slightly worse performance compared to Windows is still an upgrade from my 3070 so that’s fine - It’s initial/recurring troubleshooting I don’t really want to deal with. Most of the info I’ve found is from earlier this year and no one speaks highly of the beta drivers

Sorry if this is a stupid question but am I setting myself up for disappointment with this new plan? I have a few more related questions I’ll toss in the comments but that’s my main concern.

    I had multiple nvidia cards before. People were saying it is going to be fine, etc.

    Never again. I bought an AMD for the first time, and fuck-A it’s great.

    What about selling the NV to get an AMD?
