i try to keep it short: i have issues with some games (like the witcher 3) and often hear that its an issue with nvidia drivers etc..

So my question is: would a switch / small upgrade to a AMD Radeon 6800 be worth it?

Steamvr has corrwntly a lot of problems because the current mesa driver breaks them.

Its not your fault.

and it only effects ati drivers? i played a bit of alyx before i got the new card, and while everything else was unplayably laggy, at least they ran

Thats a Good question.

I thought you also get the error with the window manager

Didn't tried the driver downgrade so far, since it seems to much of a hassle.
