[Question] Any way to increase the power cap limit of Radeon RX 9070 on Linux? (CachyOS)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 11:55

Hey everyone,

Is there any way to increase the power cap limit of the Radeon RX 9070 under Linux?

On Windows, the Adrenalin driver allows up to +10% power limit, which the card handles just fine — it brings performance quite close to an RX 9070 XT. But on Linux, I'm stuck.

Using CachyOS, and tools like lact only allow undervolting, memory tuning, and basic frequency adjustments — but there's no way to raise the power limit, only lower it.

Has anyone figured out a workaround?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Is lowering the GPU Power Limit through LACT safe?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 09:35

I wanted to lower my RX 9070 XT's Power Limit to get better efficiency, at the same time I set up an Undervolt offset that seems to be stable at least in the games I've tested.

My model's default TDP is 340W and I lowered it all the way down to 265W (-22%) and the Undervolt is set to -90mV. With this settings I'm getting almost the same performance, maybe losing 1-3 fps out of 95fps total, the GPU clock under full stress gets up to 3150MHz and normally averages 3000-3060MHz I'd say.

The thing is, I wanted to know if not manually limiting the GPU Clock at the same time could lead to problems, I assumed it gets balanced automatically with the Power Limit and Undervolt changes, because I haven't got troubles in any games until now but the "Power Throttling" signals in LACT's Historical Data and MangoHUD are making me anxious (although in some situations, using stock settings I could get Power Throttling warnings the same way).

Anyway, someone could tell me if this could be a problem? Much appreciated.

LACT settings and metrics:

Now would be a good idea to backup the latest Duckstation AppImage, flatpak, etc, as the developer is dropping Linux support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 08:51

The developer of Duckstation announced he is dropping linux support.

https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1mcsww7/duckstation_dev_announced_end_of_linux_support/

So now would be a good idea to backup the latest AppImage, flatpak, and source code just in case.

Commands:

mkdir ~/duckstation-backup cd ~/duckstation-backup #!/bin/sh wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-x86_64.flatpak' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-x64.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-x64-SSE2.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-Mini-armhf.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-Mini-arm64.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-armhf.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-arm64.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-aarch64.flatpak' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/archive/refs/tags/latest.tar.gz' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-windows-x64-release.zip' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-windows-x64-sse2-release.zip' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-windows-arm64-release.zip' flatpak build-bundle /var/lib/flatpak/repo org.duckstation.DuckStation.LATEST_STABLE.flatpak org.duckstation.DuckStation stable Flatpak manifest: wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stenzek/duckstation/355c17bde96c79ede9c2c61ec25b34626591e14f/scripts/packaging/flatpak/org.duckstation.DuckStation.yaml'

(backing up windows versions also just in case the linux version stops working at some point, unlikely anytime soon)

Steam Issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 08:38

Hoping someone can help me out with this. I recently swapped over from Mint to Lubuntu because of Lubuntu's minimal install option. When I am coming off a brand new install I do three things: swap the driver to the latest NVIDIA version, download Steam's .deb file from the official Steam site, and try to play a game. Every time I open my game, I have no audio. I remember this happened with Mint, but I remember doing so much stuff in the terminal it could have been anything that solved it.

Does anyone know exactly why the Steam audio is an issue? I would like to see why so I can fix it myself, without having to go online and pester everybody. Also, it would be nice to see what exactly I can do to see it not working so I can diagnose it myself if possible in the future. I will occasionally see people say check PulseAudio's volume control panel. but obviously it would register as working b/c it works for all non-steam things and because the system would be doing everything correctly. I assume its the pulseaudio vs. pipewire thing or I am just missing a steam plugin or something, but I have been using time shift and putting in a bunch of sudo commands to fix this and it isn't working.

Thanks guys.

(Found this meme online and I know some of you guys get where I am coming from.)

[re-game] screencast a game from a server to a client pc (steamlink alternative)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 07:24

hello there i grow tired of looking for alternatives of streaming the way steamlink works but for linux and without steam, so i create this piece of code in order to archive that, it grabs the screen from the server with very low ms, and send it to the client at 60fps, also grab the default sink from pulseaudio and send it, the client show the video frames, play the sound, and grab 3 kind of events and send it to the server; keyboard, mouse and gamepad, for the mouse and gamepad, creates a virtual device on server. there are still some bugs, but right now the stream is completely functional and could be used without issue.

PD: video is recorded at 24fps, so fluidity is not seen.

Apology for Stop Killing Our Operating Systems

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 06:25

I want to formally apologize for a recent post that some of you may have seen called "Stop Killing Our Operating Systems." It was not only very poorly written, but a plain disgrace to any community who got it sent to them. I wrote something very opinionated and with very bad representation, in a way that read like it was meant to be factual. It was irresponsible to post as people who could have taken the post most seriously (Not that they really would though, it was really bad). I know I angered some people in the Linux community with my post. It wasn't my intention to rage bait or anything, it was just a really dumb decision, with very dumb writing, and I was definitely way above my britches, especially for a first post. I also replied to critiquing in a very inappropriate way, trying to justify what I had written when there was nothing to justify. I do not want a welcoming back into the subreddit or anything, that is something I will have to earn by doing better in the future, but I wanted to write something to apologize.

If you were really interested in the broad concept I had, I did make a heavy revision today with nothing but my words to try and make a mense, but for the sake of feeding more stuff onto this subreddit that doesn't really belong, I have not posted it here. It's just a post on my account. You are under no obligation to look, and I don't ask that you to look at it. Thank you for your time.

Mega Man Battle Network Collection Vol 2 Crashes on start

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 05:55

Specs: Ryzen 7 5700X

Intel Arc A770 16gb

32gb DDR4 3600

Asrock B550m Pro4

Fedora Workstation 42 (KDE Desktop)

Terminal output (Steam): https://pastebin.com/9awLEpxw

PROTON_LOG output: https://pastebin.com/5bPRqP5f

I've tried switching between several different official and GE Proton releases, as well as several different Mesa versions and the game just refuses to launch. It will only throw up a black screen for a few seconds then crash. The bizarre thing is that Vol 1 of the collection launches and plays just fine on the same system, so I don't know what the difference is here that is causing problems.

For honor starts to load and then closes

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 04:37

Hey guys,

I just switch to fedora kde as my first time on linux so this is most likely because I didn't set something up properly. I'm trying to play for honor. It opens up ubisoft connect and then the loading screen before it goes into the full game but closes before actually getting into the game. Has anyone experienced something like this before and how have you solved it?

I'm using proton experimental and my hardware is a ryzen 9600x and an intel b580
