I’m looking to upgrade from a dying RX 590, and I’m eyeing the RX 6950 XT, which I can get for slightly less than 800 USD, I’m wondering if that’d be a good choice.
It’s mostly for gaming, but I kinda want to run ML stuff and blender on the side, so I hope ROCm works well enough for that, I want to avoid NVIDIA because of Linux.
While I agree with the choice of a 6800 or 6700, please don’t use userbenchmark. It’s incredibly biased against AMD.

Dang, didn’t even realize. Do you know of any better alternatives?
Passmark’s site has been my go-to for at-a-glance comparisons of GPU and CPU for a while. It just lays out specs and performance on a common benchmarking suite.
Looks like 6950XT has similar performance and favorable value compared to similarly-priced recent-gen cards.
Unfortunately, I don’t know of one. It may just be best to look at individual reviews.
You should look up some of the controversy with userbenchmark. The owner is a competitive shooter player so he favors single thread performance over basically everything. When he got called out by some big tech channels he had a tantrum and made pages on the site dedicated to trying to talk shit about them, linked right in the about page.
It’s actually really funny.
