  • Would recommend just checking your motherboard/embedded controller has good linux support

    I have a 9070XT but AM4 5700X. Been able to run everything comfortably at min 1440p 60 frames without AI upscaling, most games sit well above that, around 90-120fps.

    Knew that the 9070XT would be bottlenecked, so I invested a bit of time and money into good thermals to finetune the CPU and RAM but haven’t bothered since everything runs well, just XMP + Auto OC settings currently and my benchmarks are well above the norm. So I think down the line if you wanted to squeeze some more performance you could invest in some better cooling but I doubt you’ll need it

    One last thing for gaming on linux, caching a HDD with a second m.2 drive through LVM will let you play games directly off the HDD with massively reduced load times/texture loads.
