I haven’t upgraded my PC in a long time and I’ve always been very frugal when it comes to getting PC parts. While I don’t think I’ll need to upgrade for some time still, I’m curious what y’alls opinion would be on a relatively cheap ($300>) upgrade would be, if one exists at all. Preferably AMD but I’ve heard linux support for Nvidia has improved quite a bit since I last had one.

Thanks to @[email protected] I realize it would help if I shared the rest of my specs: an MSI AM4 motherboard (I don’t have the model but I believe it’s a B450 or B550 tomahawk), 24 gigs of ram, and a Ryzen 3600 X cpu.

I use a 6700 XT and runs everything well at 1440 (arch btw), might be able to find one in your price range depending on where you are?

That does seem pretty good and I like the more compact size (my pc is a little cramped rn lol)

With respect, what’s “everything” and what’s “well”?
