Brother wants to trade cards- help

[ChRoNo16]

I have a Radeon 6700XT i bought during the shortage from a friend

My oldest brother has an RTX 2060 Super

He has been mining on his card, mine has been mined on some, but much less than his.

What do the rest of you think on trading? my big thing is I was never a radeon fan, just got a better card then I had for less than scalper pricing during this whole mess. i prefer the stability and performance of Nvidia

Unless he is throwing in some cash, that’s not a good trade. The 2060s has less performance for sure. I’ve not heard of any 6700xt stability issues. Are you experiencing issues?

He has no cash, I know its a downgrade but how bad? Yes I have some weird issues. Sometimes my screen will flash black and the insides of open windows or programs wont refresh so I have to close them. Also a couple of times I have seen smal multicolored squares appear all over the screen, all this is besides actually having the radeon drivers crash completely.

i know this is half-assed, but its a bit of a direct comparison at least

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2060S-Super-vs-AMD-RX-6700-XT/4049vs4109

they're saying around 22% difference, pretty significant. so i guess the next question is how much do you love your brother? i'm an only child so don't talk to me about this

I would RMA that... immediately. And then just keep your card.

Tell him no, and he needs to go get his own.

Would it help to know im a light gamer? I dont play new titles really, mostly Rust, and Diablo 2 Resurrected will be my new go to

I mean it's your brother, can't you just trade back and forth when you need stuff no cash needed lol? Got mine a couple of gaming laptops over the years, no cash ever needed on his end

or just "Merry early Christmas".

A strait swap would be a $150ish gift; how reasonable that is depends on what normal gifting in your family is.

We trade hardware all the time, he wants to do gpu mining and I just want a simple stable gaming rig that works
