What GPU for ~€300 should I get? (lemm.ee)

Hi all, I have transitioned my desktop PC to linux and am really liking it so far. I recently bought Oblivion Eemastered, but it seems like it's too much for my old 1060 6gb to handle. So now I'm looking at what options are available - and would obviously like to get an option that works well with Linux. Since I don't game as much anymore, I don't think I can justify spending much more than €300 on it. I haven't looked at the GPU market for 8 years now, so I don't know what's going. What advice do you people have? I have looked at the 4060, the 7600 and the 7600XT, but not sure if they are good value, I'm getting mixed info online.

I appreciate any help and advice you people have.

I would try to go for a used 6800XT, I snatched one at 320€ some months ago, it should be easy to find now for 300€. If you want performance for your money, and you use Linux, that would be my way to go.
