  • How did you switch mesa version without using the --allow-vendor-change flag. Did you manually uninstall the mesa packages shipped by opensuse and then switch them with mesa packages from packman? Vendor change is the only method recommended everywhere and no other methods are discussed so I am curious as to how you manage without it. Also how do track that the repos are synced. I have to manually check the packman website to see if the packages have been updated to version that opensuse is shipping. Do you do the same?

    Also sorry for the late reply

    Something like the 6600 or 6600xt(or 6650xt) could be the cheap alternative you are looking for as they cost around 200 dollars and give a decent performance bump for you.

    A used 5600xt would be a much cheaper but somewhat sideways upgrade as it sells for around 100 dollars(according to Hardware Unboxed’s last gpu pricing video) and offers a small performance improvement of 5-10%.

    Side note - in my view, the sideways upgrade to AMD from nvidia may not be the smartest use of money. AMD’s advantages over nvidia are real but unless you really do need a new GPU(because you are using the 1660 super for another rig or giving it to someone), the advantages are nowhere near large enough to justify buying a new GPU of around the same performance level. Of course this is just my viewpoint and you might see things differently
