RX5700XT to RX6700XT a worthwhile upgrade for 1440 gaming? Or something else? (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

As per the title really. I'd be looking to pick one up second hand and use it on EndeavourOS.

Is there a really worthwhile boost in performance moving to the 6700XT, or should I wait a bit longer to get something else higher end? I will not consider Nvidia as a Linux user.

Do you have a specific budget in mind, what sort of games do you play?

I'm not sure what the used market is like in your area but I'd see if you could pick up a 6800XT, 1440p would benefit significantly from the additional RAM. Here I think you could probably negotiate to £350-£370 or so?

I'm not sure if 16GB over 12 currently has a lot of effect. I currently have 16 and my VRAM almost never goes above 8-10 or so. Depends heavily on the game of course, but I think 16 is only really useful in the future.

Fair, I was being conservative just in case they were interested in any RT games. 2077 would get up there at 1440p
