Basically, just like the title says. I’ve had my 1080ti since launch. It is without question the single greatest PC component I’ve ever bought, but my computer usage has changed. I don’t really game anymore, and if I do, it’s generally on my Xbox. I run linux exclusively and generally speaking I stick with OpenSuse Tumbleweed or NixOS. While the 1080ti performs perfectly fine for me, I’m just tired of dealing with Nvidia drivers breaking things from time to time when updating. Machine specs are as follows;

Mobo: X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI CPU: Ryzen 3900X RAM: 32gb Gskill Trident Monitors: Dual Dell S2417DG (1440p, 144hz) Case: Fractal Design Pop Mini Silent

Again, I don’t really game on my PC anymore, and I spend most of my time in Freecad and Kdenlive. If I’m going to replace my 1080ti I want to make sure that I’m still upgrading. If I decided 6 months from now I want to play something on PC, I’d still like the ability with “decent” graphics.

I’ve been looking at the Arc A770, but a lot of the things I’m reading are a year old and saying things like; “It performs well, but beware of driver issues”, or “Most things are working, but it’s still got a ways to go”. I’m just wondering if a year later things have gotten better?

If the A770 isn’t really “ready” yet, I’m fine with AMD also. Just wondering what card people would suggest.

My budget is probably in the $250 - $350 range. I could probably stretch to $400 if I really needed to, but I’d like not to.

    Supposedly the next gen Intel Battlemage cards are coming soon. I’d just wait for those rather than drop the cash on the current cards.
