Choosing a GPU (pawb.social)

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.

I have 6800xt and it works well for stable diffusion under Archlinux, I can also run local LLMs but last I've worked with LLMs on GPU I had to do a bit of tweaking and installing rocm forks of things like bitsandbytes
