What’s everyone’s recommendation for a cheap AMD GPU to use with Linux? I was looking recently at a Radeon RX 580, I know there are much better cards out there but the prices are about double (£350-400 instead of £180). I’d mostly be using it to play games like the remastered Rome Total War.
Been waiting for a good deal to replace my rx480 in my sister’s rig. I think they announced rx400/500/vega GPUs will only get security driver updates now and only for a while, I assume that applies to Linux too. RX580 will play many games at 1080p 60fpd but not the modern demanding ones (maybe not even at low settings).
Rumors say nextgen AMD isn’t targeting high end, maybe we have another 480 price to performance king 🤞. Then again, with AI as the new crypto, who can say.
Same. I’ve been looking at AMD upgrade for my Linux Machine. Have been looking at the 6700xt which is about £330 for a 12GB GPU. If someone can think of anything better I’d like to know

6600XTs seem to be going for around £200, often £180 even (used, eBay).
If you’d prefer new, you can get a 6650XT for £240. A 6650XT will be 6% faster than a 6600XT.
It’s double the performance of a 580, uses less power, will be supported longer, etc.
That’s a decent price, might have to go for one of those instead… Thanks for the information!
