Solved Brand New Desktop Build Help and Questions

I second the 7800 XT, it has great support in Linux nowadays with recent kernels and mesa.

It plays any games I want to play at 1440p with no issues on max or near-max (CP 2077 with Ray Tracing (Medium Reflections and no Path Tracing)) settings, but I have my system set up to receive updates for Kernel and Mesa ASAP.

I have Sapphire's Pulse model of the 7800 XT myself.

Thanks for the confirmation on success with this 7800 XTX GPU.

Out of curiosity Zev, what kernel are you running? 6.10 or above?
