What GPU for ~€300 should I get? (lemm.ee)

Hi all, I have transitioned my desktop PC to linux and am really liking it so far. I recently bought Oblivion Eemastered, but it seems like it's too much for my old 1060 6gb to handle. So now I'm looking at what options are available - and would obviously like to get an option that works well with Linux. Since I don't game as much anymore, I don't think I can justify spending much more than €300 on it. I haven't looked at the GPU market for 8 years now, so I don't know what's going. What advice do you people have? I have looked at the 4060, the 7600 and the 7600XT, but not sure if they are good value, I'm getting mixed info online.

I appreciate any help and advice you people have.

Intel B580, hands down is the best bang for your bucks.

Check the performance per dollar charts here: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gainward-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-8-gb/35.html and pick a GPU that's not from NVIDIA. Or this https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-xt-nitro/36.html. AMD 6800, 6800 XT, 7700 XT, but you can also wait for 9060 and 9060 XT.

On Linux? I was under the impression that their driver isn't quite up to par with AMD or Nvidia specifically on Linux.

Force the new xe driver (if it's not already the default) and it's better, but you'll want to run bleeding edge mesa and kernels for the best experience.
