Upgrading my GPU (intel or amd?) (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi there, I am currently looking for a replacement for my GTX1060.

existing hardware

CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
RAM 16GB DDR4 @3600mHz
Motherboard MSI b550a-pro
PSU 750W

Usecase: Unreal Engine 5 and Jedi Fallen Order are the most expensive things I can think of

Budget ~300€

OS Linux Mint (Linux Kernel 6.8)

I was originally thinking about going with an AMD RX7600 since it's cheap and meets the recommended specs for Unreal Engine 5 (8GB VRAM, Raytracing).

Asking in other forums the intel Arc B580 was recommended. It looks promising, but since Arc GPUs are quite new, I am worried about compatibility and stability.

Are any of you using an Arc GPU at the moment and what are your experiences in Linux, primarily with productivity?

How stable are the drivers in your experience?

Could you recommend going with intel or sticking to AMD for the best experience?

could be better

ATLEAST Wayland doesn't suck ass on it

Otherwise, I do gaming, you would likely get better FPS on windows with the drivers at hand generally being behind but that would improve with adoption and time

Either way, it wouldn't be a total disaster but since it has less market share issues with it would be exasperated, so don't be too cutting edge with arch

Although it's fine with opensuse tumbleweed on my end
