Well it's been a couple days of frustration with the new AMD card. I was unable to remove Nvidia stuff from my OS, so I ended up fresh installing to make sure there were no driver issues. Now I can't install some things but that's likely a Wine issue. Trying to figure out sys performance, it finally dawned on me Phoronix stuff runs on Linux. Duh. Ran GLmark2 and 6 mins later I checked my score against Open Benchmarking's and y'all, this poor CPU cut the card score in half lol.

This i5 6400 is trying not to catch on fire keep up with this RX 6800. So I know the limits of this setup (I mean I did but hard numbers yo) and the next upgrades I wanna look at. A 7700k which a BIOS flash will enable support for(including OCing so the chip ends up only being about a 10% bottleneck 🤣 ), and a 2tb NVME for game storage so I can get them off the 8TB HDD. Been kinda enjoying this whole process building a PC, again. Last time was '08 so, shit's changed, lol.
