it was a problem for me too previously, but I don’t think it is anymore, I haven’t had it since glorious eggroll updated his wine build a few months back, and I didn’t get it using proton today in Steam.
No matter which distro you actually use, the ArchWiki has a detailed section on overclocking AMD GPUs, including manual OC as well as a list of several CLI and GUI tools.
That said, I’ll second the recommendation of corectl if you’re looking for something user-friendly.
Back in 2016, a new version of X11 (shipping with the latest Linux distros) killed my AMD graphics because driver support was dropped and open source drivers were not available for my particular model.
That’s unfortunate. Which model was it out of curiosity? I know they’ve had open source GPU support for a long time, so it’s surprising that one fell through the cracks.
Yeah, I also remember, my particular model did worked with open source drivers, but it had a shitty performance. That’s why 2011 was the last time I bought an AMD GPU, however since today their driver is open I’m seriously considering buying an AMD next, exactly because what happened with AMD back then can happen to NVIDIA now (but not to AMD since their drivers are open and can be community-maintained if they dropped support in the future)
When? I think most people have the view of “NVIDIA were great guys while they fucked everyone else, but now they’ve fucked me”.
NVIDIA’s proprietary driver has always been the best performant in Linux, and still seems to be, however it’s proprietary and that means you’re dependant on them for support, so for example Wayland is not supported and you’re fucked with nothing to do.
I know what Google says, but I tried it a few months ago and nothing worked properly, I just assumed the version was still beta. But it could be because I’m using a laptop and Optimus cards have always been sort of a hit or miss with features on NVIDIA.
I had no problems on Nobara, also running wayland and have no problems on arch.
For nvidia i have nvidia, nvidia-utils and nvidia-settings packages, DRM KMS and nvidia “experimental” settings for suspend, hibernate and preserve memory enabled.
For KDE i have plasma-meta and plasma-wayland-session.
HW is Two mixed refreshrate monitors (144 and 60Hz) on 1080p, GTX1660 and ryzen 5 3600.
FWIW I’ve recently mograted to wayland on a 3060ti without any real issues. I’m running hyprland. There were some minor quirks to resolve during the initial migration, all were well documented in the install guide and trivial to resolve.
I had enough of Nvidia when they dropped support for the GTX 460 in windows and Linux and I had to swap out the card to do anything meaningful on the computer. Nvidia, keep your taint away from my kernel!
It would be nice to see projects like this with all the leaks we have had over the years if not for the legal bullshit. Or even just a code review to see what kind of weird shit devs used to do.
I’m just waiting for the new AMD mid range cards. I have had some weird problems with Nvidia because of drivers over the years, so I’m finally switching camp for the next card to see how it is.
The latest video by @Sora_Sakurai finally shows off footage of the elusive “Dragon King: The Fighting Game!”, a super early prototype of Super Smash Bros before they settled on using Nintendo characters!
mesa-vulkan-drivers are installed? You should check journalctl output when you launch the games that don’t work. It should give you more info. AFAIK RDR2 should be working fine.
Yeah, vulkan drivers are installed. Oh well, I’ll just keep booting Windows whenever I want to game.
I did however just play Northgard with a couple of friends, and it ran perfectly fine on Fedora. First time playing it on Linux, and it ran smoothly with zero issues, so that’s cool I guess. A taste of Linux gaming lol.
