Recommendations for GPU with good Linux support, 8GB or more VRAM, and ~150W TDP or less? (lemmy.ml)

I could in theory upgrade the power supply to go beyond the 150W target, but then I'd also need a better chassis because it is already quite warm with my current 130W card.

Hoping to stick with AMD, but if my wishes to play around with local LLMs and image upscaling makes Nvidia a more practical choice, I can live with that compromise.

Working with a budget of 200 US, I'm fine going with a used GPU.

What is your current card? The RX 6600 is comfortably within your requirements but has just 8GB of RAM, and the RX 6700 is just at the edge or slightly outside of your budget with 10GB of ram, which you could probably make work if you find a good deal and undervolt it. On Nvidia's side there's the 3050 8GB and 3060 12GB.

    RX 480, thinking of upgrading since ROCm support for it ended a while ago and working around it has become very painful

    If your big issue is just getting back into mainstream support, you can try looking for a 7600, since RDNA 3 is just one generation removed from the latest. You'll have to undervolt or limit power and you'll be stuck with 8GB on that budget but you'll probably receive software support for slightly longer than the RDNA 2 6600/6700.
