    Windows=PnP, but Linux will make you think Twice

    The card's build quality is minimalistic (which is what I was looking for), and pretty solid build quality. If you're installing on Windows, the driver installation is as simple as it gets. However, as far as Linux goes, all I can say, is good luck. It will take an extensive, proper understanding of the infrastructure of a Debian OS in general. As well as Trial and Error, depending on your build's hardware. Going off of that, the current stable version of the Ubuntu 20.04.3, AMDGPU drivers, and it's many alternative "flavors", don't even have the correct "amdgpu-dkms" driver, and will throw multiple errors when trying to install on Linux. Much less the fact, that there is a PCIE 3.0 atomics limitation implemented with ROCR (ROCM) on Ubuntu 20.04.3. So if you decide to use more than one AMD RX6xxx Card with your build, you aren't even getting the PCI-E Gen4.0 that you're paying for. This literally means that you have to rebuild the specific driver package revolving around ROCR/ROCM, in a seperate linux kernel (5.04.0-54), and then install on the latest working kernel (5.11.0-36)--which I should also mention, IS NOT the default kernel selected when booting Ubuntu 20.04.3 upon installing. As a Linux User on my primary desktop myself, specifically "Xubuntu"-20.04.3; I would HIGHLY recommend against getting this card. And if you're planning on putting the work in required, to use multiple of any of the RX6xxx (XT) Cards, then I'd recommend using this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/gpumining/comments/ptmyjd/ubuntu_20043_amdgpu_2130_opencl_rocr_rocm/ When AMD finally fixes this, I'll praise the heavens. Until then, I've been @Skittlez. Thank you for taking the time to read this. :)

    For what the card actually is, i am happy with it. Its an efficent little card that stays cool for me. Considering the market, i feel it was worth the 489 price i got it for compared to the more expensive XT model. These sold out and basically got relisted for way more. Im not sure about buying this same card for 600+. No way am i interested in this for the current sale price of 609 all thr way up to 750 for the XT model.

    I was hoping my R9 380 would hold out a little longer before i was forced to upgrade, but it died on me. Yes, this card should cost somewhere between $250 to $300 in a normal market. But, if you need a graphics card and arent looking to spend a grand on a 3080 here it is. I can play Elden Ring at a constant 60fps on high or run Cyberpunk at 100+ on high, and Hunt: Showdown runs at a constant 80-90 FPS on high. It uses the same software as my Ryzen 5 5600x, which is nice. Id reccomend holding out a little longer if you can to get a 6600xt or 3060ti at a better price, but if you're like me and need a card now, you wont regret it too much.

    Jumping from a Radeon r9 390 to this was major. Went from having to play everything windowed, FPS capped at 30, and on the lowest settings, but now I can play at 60 FPS on the highest settings!!
