7700 XT a good choice? (feddit.uk)

I'm thinking about buying a new GPU. I'm looking at the 7700 xt as it's about £355 and I want Linux support and I like newer features. Before I pull the trigger can anyone tell me why I'm making a huge mistake?

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.
