Is upgrading from a 3080 Ti to a 9070 XT worth it for Linux users?

Asked By TechieBeetle99 On

I've recently transitioned from Windows to Linux, and while I find Nvidia support to be decent, it doesn't quite match the level of support available for AMD cards. Given this context, I'm considering whether it makes sense to sell my 3080 Ti for a 9070 XT. Here in the UK, I can easily get over £300 for my 3080 Ti and the cost of a 9070 XT is around £500-600. Is this upgrade a smart financial move, or would it just be a waste of money?

Honestly, when you mentioned Linux, it shifted my perspective. The 9070 XT isn't a gigantic upgrade over the 3080 Ti, but under Linux, it shines much brighter. So if you're planning to game on Linux, I'd say go for it!

Great question! I've been in a similar situation. I own a 3080 Ti, too, and have seen my friend's new 9070 XT in action. It really is impressive! I was considering selling my card to get one, but now I’m tempted to just buy one outright and let my 3080 Ti take a break. But yeah, I'm also realizing I might need a new PSU for that...
