Max_P , in Radeon on Ubuntu?
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

It’s been working flawlessly for me. Brand new cards can be a little bit buggy at the beginning as they release before the drivers are quite ready, but my Vega 64 and RX 570 have been absolutely flawless the last 4-5 years. AMD’s fine wine reputation is especially true on Linux.

I’ve always had issues with NVIDIA’s drivers and basically never with AMD. I can’t recall when is the last time I had driver-related graphical issues, but I sure can with NVIDIA. The only time I’ve had issues with my AMD cards is when I bought the Vega 64 at launch and had to run a dev branch kernel and mesa for it to work properly, but once that made its way to mainline and release kernels I haven’t had to do that since.

NeroAngra OP ,

That’s great to hear. Thanks for the feedback!

seoushi , in Radeon on Ubuntu?

Generally speaking amd is favored over nvidia on linux because it’s driver lives in the kernel (more free), better wayland support (this is changing tho) and not having to install a driver manually or an installing a restricted driver from the package manager. I’ve been running my 6900xt for a couple of year and it’s been great. The only downside of amd is if you need/want some of the nvidia tech like rtx and cuda. Here are some older benchmarks from when the 7900 xt was coming out www.phoronix.com/review/rx7900xt-rx7900xtx-linux

karot9100 , in Please help with distro decision

I have been using Pop-os for a while now. I want to try and switch to arch but i just cant figure it out lol. I really like the feel of pop os tho. I dont use a dock, only the top bar and tiling function and it works great out of the box without having to install tiling window managers and stuff.

Also i’m on a laptop and the battery power manager of pop os works great.

Anyways, pop os has been great for me :D

strongarm , in Baldurs Gate 3 on Steam Deck

There was a video when the Steam Deck was announced with the Larian CEO playing on a Steam Deck and being blown away by it, he mentioned that they would make sure it rund via proton on the deck.

Also BG3 was one of the games that was used in the video marketing and screen shots for the Steam Deck so I’m confident Valve will be putting their best efforts to work with Larian on this

fraydabson OP , in steamtinkerlaunch mo2 game shortcut

I figured it out! I had stl all wrong. Once I set it up as a compatibility tool for fallout now I can launch fallout from steam and it works great.

Pungentstentch , in Dark Souls 3 stuck on "Launching"

Do you have mangohud on our globally enabled?

EviTRea OP ,

I don’t know what that is but I had it in launch option and it does nothing as well

EviTRea OP ,

Added "Option “metamodes” “1920x1080 +0+0"” to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and dnf installed xrandr, nothing changes.

just_another_person ,

Are you sure you’re using X11 and not Wayland? Looks like the default for Fedora 37 would be Wayland. It may be worth switching over to X11 to see if that solves your issue.

EviTRea OP ,

I’m 100% sure I’m on X11. CSGO has small but noticeable latency on Wayland on Nvidia so I switched as soon as the install happened. I did try switching back to Wayland yesterday, and it’s plane black screen with the cursor flashing, not even a functioning desktop, let along games. Something must had broke my Wayland some time ago.

just_another_person ,

Well the errors you’re seeing are pretty much telling you the “why” of what isn’t working, but not the “how”. Have you tried going back to an older version of the Nvidia driver? As it says, you could give Nouveau a shot.

EviTRea OP ,

Downgrading driver might work…but messing with Nvidia driver can go very wrong. I might as well just play it on Deck.

EviTRea OP ,

This action had my system failed to load Plasma today…good thing I know the Ctrl+Alt+F2 trick

mojo , (edited ) in My Experience Switching From NVIDIA To AMD

I’m using a GTX 1080 still and looking to upgrade to an AMD card. What’s a solid card I can get under $600?

edit: thanks dudes, picked up a 6700xt for $350

WellThisIsNew ,
@WellThisIsNew@fjdk.uk avatar

6700xt is very solid. I game at 1440p and as long as I don’t turn ray tracing on, it runs all of my games above 60fps at max settings. Admittedly I don’t play many AAA games. The most demanding game I’ve tried on it is probably Cyberpunk 2077.

mojo ,

Think I’ll pull the trigger and get that, only $350 so it’s decent. Now that I think about it, 2077 was also the last demanding game I played lol. My 1080 chugged on that. Also Gears of War it struggled. Doesn’t bother me too much anymore, idc about triple A games now. Mostly getting for better Linux support.

JineteDeAbuelas47 ,

I own a 6700xt and also play in 2k - there’s a great price quality relationship with this card and it performs great. This card will absolutely do the job and way more than enough - Unless you want to experience ray-tracing or VR but also linux sadly is not the best platform for those features

addie ,
@addie@feddit.uk avatar

Raytracing is meant to be enabled on AMD cards in the Mesa 23.2 update, fwiw. But yeah, AMD aren’t really leading the way on that, so it’ll be mostly novelty value I fear.

miggs597 OP ,

If you’re willing to buy used there are mega cards going for under 600 on most marketplaces. Surplus, and little interest from consumers have brought back cheap second hand hardware. It’s really a buyers market right now.*

  • At least in the US
mojo ,

eh I never trust used computer parts, especially graphics cards. I always assume crypto mining.

tabular ,
@tabular@lemmy.world avatar

There are people out there selling broken cards but if the mining card works then is there really any evidence that it’s less performant or any more likely to fail than a lightly used gaming card?

I’ve almost always bought new but I’d prefer to buy used now to save money and hopefully find out if it has any coil wine. That’s if used prices were any different than new (Ebay’s UK used prices are dumb).

scutiger ,

Best bang for the buck is probably the 6700XT. It will run all the the biggest games at 1440p with decent fps. If you’re at 1080p, there’s nothing it can’t handle. If you’re looking at 4K gaming, you’re going to want a bit more juice if you want good framerates.

d_k_bo , (edited ) in Team Fortress 2 crashing

If it crashes when launching the game:

github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/…/5043

Tl;dr; Use the Flatpak or replace libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">cd "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/bin/"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">rm libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ln -s /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 ./
</span>

If it crashes on VSH maps:

github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/…/5044

Unfortunately, there is no known fix.

Duallight OP ,

Ah, yeah crashes are all on VSH maps so that explains it. Thanks!

Lumbercrack , in What desktop environments are you using?

Tried XFCE, KDE and GNOME but settled on GNOME.

XFCE struggled with window management especially when gaming. KDE is too messy and inconsistent. GNOME is just easy, and my wife can use it without asking questions.

IUsedTo , in What desktop environments are you using?

KDE. It doesn’t get in the way.

scutiger , in Dark Souls 3 stuck on "Launching"

Try manually selecting the latest version of Proton in the game’s compatibility settings, currently 8.0-3. That fixed the issue for me.

EviTRea OP ,

Tried every version down to 6.3-8, no version changes anything.

shitescalates , in Team Fortress 2 crashing

Been fine for me. I think it crashed once. On vsh I had a problem where I couldn’t punch.

FinancedPizza , in Team Fortress 2 crashing

Yeah it doesn’t run the best in general for me and I have had some crashes but not many.
