So I’m getting a 6650XT I read that it does run ray tracing but I’m seeing a lot of different results as to if AMD ray tracing is supported on Kubuntu 23.04, or even Linux in general. Anyone have experience with this card?

    Raytracing is generally slower on AMD than Nvidia to begin with, and RADV’s implementation is slower than its Windows counterpart. Nowadays, if you don’t have a 3080 or above equivalent, it isn’t worth enabling IMHO.

    I’ve seen benchmarks saying that the Radeon 7900XTX is generally 10% slower than Nvidia 3090 on Windows, so expect that gap to widen on Linux.

    Personally, I think it isn’t really worth enabling on AMD GPUs in Linux at the moment.
