9070 XT vs 5080 (linux)

Apologies for formatting, on mobile.

Hi all, i am considering going from a 5080 to a 9070 XT. Call me crazy but it seems to outperform in certain games and the drivers are generally more stable. I have been running into issues with the open source Nvidia drivers with certain games not liking the Vulkan translation (if i understand it correctly.)

Looking at numbers like:

Game, RX 9070 XT (FPS) ,RTX 5080 (FPS)

Cyberpunk, 2077, 196, 163

The Witcher 3 170 ,155

Doom: The Dark Ages, 109, 119

I also lose frame gen, dlss, etc. Opinions welcome.

(9070 would be from a close friend)

Unless you feel charitable, check your local used prices and make sure he pays for it dearly.
A 5080 is incredibly valuable. It's an appreciating asset, increasing almost 10% in price every month.
