Honestly I am tired of the high end of high end GPU. Wow so much power and wow a tiny amount of people can afford it. Idc

If I would buy a GPU it would be the Arc B580. Because that one at least sounds interesting

Is the b580 even nearly as powerful as a 7900xtx?

No, but that is also not why it would be interesting to me. I like it, because of the price to performance ratio and all the features you get, plus the 12GB of VRAM are great at that price point in my eyes (if it would go down to its msrp). I find it way more interesting what companies can push out at a certain price point, rather than high end

I would probably not completely switch to an Intel card, especially because of driver on Linux, but they are really interesting to me, but it probably couldn't replace my 7900 XTX, although I start to play older games + indie games more either way, than I did when I bought the 7900 XTX

Another thing I would like to try would be to learn optimisation of Game settings, but that is kind of a waste with my GPU and CPU combination, because if I optimise it more for my GPU it can happen relatively fast, that my CPU is the bottleneck. But that is kinda a luxury problem, so I can't really complain about it
