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. #PC #Linux #Tech
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.
