OS: CachyOS GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Board: MPG B550 GAMING PLUS CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (16) @ 4.43 GHz Memory: 31.26 GiB

i try to keep it short: i have issues with some games (like the witcher 3) and often hear that its an issue with nvidia drivers etc..

So my question is: would a switch / small upgrade to a AMD Radeon 6800 be worth it?

i have actually bought a new ssd, thinking, well, moving will be a pain in the butt, but things will be better, right?
installed pop 24, steamvr crashed, oh well, let's try 22 - steamvr still crashes
video ran fine both cases but ugh i just... can't now. so i just keep using this old install until i gather the energy to figure things out and move everything

Steamvr has corrwntly a lot of problems because the current mesa driver breaks them.

Its not your fault.
