You’re playing Hellblade, so here’s some tips:

If an UE4 game can be played in DX12, play it in DX12. Hellblade will be 100% GPU bound at all times in DX12 if fps is unlocked, it will become CPU bound, which is bad, in DX11.

As for upscaling, you can mod instead FSR2 instead. It will look better than driver RSR/in-game FSR1 and runs just as well.

6750 GRE 12 GB*, which is basically overclocked 6700 XT.

6750 GRE 10 GB is the 6700 10 GB, which is closer to RX 6650 XT and slightly slower than 4060, but very close to it nontheless.

I’m more amused there’s a workstation W7500, which unironically would’ve been a great desktop RX 7500 8 GB card, a tremendous performance uplift from the pitiful RX 6500 XT

Depends massively on the game and VRAM used. 390X / 580 / Fury non X trade blows depending on game.

Under Linux it’s probably faster than 1080 Ti, lol.

Use anything except for Manjaro, lol.

Not even. It would’ve been an upgrade from 7800 XT if that was the case. It’s actually using slower memory so it has less bandwidth than 7800 XT.

It’s DX12, so it needs VKD3D.

AMD GPUs can’t run VKD3D on Windows, but Nvidia GPUs can.

It doesn’t even look better than Quantum Break, stop capping.

It’s not unplayable.

Tested Alan Wake 2 on 5700 XT at 1080p FSR2 Balanced, Low Preset, Textures/AF/SSR on High. Was basically 30 fps locked (if you’d lock it).

It’s not 60+, so it’s not the bestest thing in the world and even Last of Us Remastered runs at 60 fps maxed out in 1080p FSR2 Quality, but it’s fine. On controller you also feel the smaller fps number less.
