Only reason not to get an AMD card is if you want to run local AI stuff like stable diffusion. AMD cards can still be used, but not all features are supported.
Otherwise it should be a great card.

I understand that but my current NVIDIA card is useless on Linux. I do a little AI stuff but I’ve mostly moved to the cloud for that.
It's a very solid GPU pick, if you're sure it's a good match in power for your CPU.
What is your current GPU if you have one? This should help us give you some perspective if it's worth buying it.
It’s a 2060 Super. I’m trying to move away from NVIDIA but I want an upgrade as well.
After owning a AMD card for 6 months now I can say the software experience is solid. Really depends if you are playing games with or without ray tracing. I don't really, so it's really been pretty good overall.
It's a good card. Make sure you're running a kernel with up-to-date drivers.
I'm not super familiar with the GPU market in the UK. What other cards can you get for around that price? If you can get a 6800xt for cheap, it could be better.
Just keep in mind the 6000 series cards don't support AV1 encode and the ray tracing performance is much worse.
This is noteworthy. I have a Sapphire 7800xt Nitro+. I play in 1080p, currently grinding my way to the top in night city. Cyberpunk runs at 150+ FPS on ultra settings with RT off. Turn ray tracing on? 50fps.
