Linux Gaming and Upgrayedd

[IceDigger]

So thinking of upgrayedd'ing my desktop.

I run EndeavorOS the past 3 years on the Zen based kernel.
Current Kernel 6.10.7-Zen

Current System Specs

AMD 7600X
32GB DDR5
AMD 6950XT
X670E Mobo
Asus Strix Raid Sound Card

Should I upgrayedd to a 7900 or just keep my 6950xt and wait for the next gen when it comes around?
I'm getting itchy.

The 7900 XT isn't much faster, so you can only take advantage of the 7900 XTX.
If you're not in a hurry you can wait for the 8000 series which will be leaner and cooler, the hot spots on the current ones burn out the paste and need to be replaced.

6950 XT to 7900 XT is kind of pointless, I'm with everyone else, get the 8000 series in January or February when it's actually launched.

Use less paste friend.

Use less paste friend.

I am now with KryoSheet graphene thermal pad, I tried a few different pastes and after 1-3 months they became like the ones pictured.

Just wait. Within 3 months we should know release dates for AMD and Nvidia next gen stuff. And wait for reviews from GN and HUB, some cards will not be much upgrade.
