I am going to be upgrading my graphics card soon. and the ones in my price range are the above mentioned. Which do you think I should get.

As a side note the runners up were a 7900 XTX or 4080 both used. The reason I'm thinking of going with the above two are my Mobo ihas gen 5 PCIE.

I recently purchased the 9070XT and it's phenomenal. I will note that the Linux drivers don't seem to be as good as the Windows drivers, I get much better performance in a few games on Windows than my kubuntu install. But even the very poorly optimized borderlands 4 runs max settings at ~100FPS with frame Gen on and FSR set to performance mode.

I have heard that some games run better on Linux, too. People will likely see improvements at times, losses at others, and mostly equivalent performance on average.
