Sometimes it boosts to 3 GHz in games, using 250+ W, most of the time it sits around 100-150 W power consumption and a 1,5 Ghz clock, can't figure out how to make it perform like my 3070 did on Windows, pretty much sitting at 100% use at all times in demanding games. Running MH Wilds now I get similar performance to the 3070, but the card is not really trying too hard. I'm on Mint 22.1, updated kernel to 6.14, have kisak-mesa 25.0.2, updated linux-firmware to the most recent one two days ago. Set the system power balance to performance, installed LACT and enabled overclocking (kept everything default for now), set performance level to highest clocks. Any other ideas to get more performance out of the card and basically force it to max out the power draw in demanding situations? I think the hardware itself is installed properly, running OCCT gpu stress test I got it to draw up to its 317 W limit consistently.

Hello,

I'm a big dumb dumb.
How can I check if the correct firmware files are loaded for amdgpu?
This dude said it's a bit tricky to update them on Ubuntu (I'm on Mint), that I just need a 6.14 kernel (which I have) or 'the performance isn't there or things will just crash'
Since both of those are happening, I just wanna make sure if the correct firmware is loaded.
But I have no idea how to and I can't find a straight answer that works.

Edit:
I just tried to do an
sudo apt install linux-firmware
and it replied:
linux-firmware is already the newest version (20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.10).
I guess I am using an older version then.
So the real question is how to install the newest linux-firmware?
Apparently just moving the contents of the amdgpu folder into /lib/firmware/amdgpu doesn't seem to be working.

idk if i should post this here or somewhere else but i wanted to play some most wanted. i own the game on steam and it would install ea app without any difficulties and work with proton 9 (the one that i use all the time and never had issues with) i've been playing the game with mods for the past 2 days and it worked fine, no problems but when i tried to play it today it would show a black box called "preparing game" (which normally shows properly but now it doesn't for some reason) and would make like "link2ea" windows appear that would just be not responding that i couldn't do anything with and the game would launch and run at like 2 fps with no access to EA servers (and i have been playing multiplayer most of those 2 days cause it's fun) so i was like "maybe the mods are just causing the issues" and reinstalled the game after trying the backup files that i had and them not working. then after reinstalling the game, i launched it using proton 7 cause i heard people having better success with that and it just made everything worse cause now just that black box appears and closes the game (that's after i installed the EA app which installed normally) i've legitimately tried to get this game to run for past 4 hours and i couldn't get it to work at all. i would be more than glad if someone helped.

before anyone asks here are my specs (i know my pc is garbage but it runs the game at high quality without any problems):

distro: Linux Mint

CPU: intel core i3-3220

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050

ram: 8GB

swap: 17GB (only made it this big for minecraft lol)

i forgot to add that the game would sometimes crash but fixed it after changing it to a different language. (from English to polish if anyone cares)

Just bought a 9070xt, I am swapping from a 3070. Question is: would it be worth it giving up my riced out home server running linux install to swap it all to windows. I have to do a fresh OS install cause it’s a full gpu and platform upgrade but I can’t help but feel that I missing out on the true performance and value of my card by not using FSR 4.

I’d love some opinions. I have been using arch full time for 5 years now.

If anyone knows the progress of FSR 4 integration into the Linux Mesa drivers, I’d love to know that too

I am just trying to organise my thoughts so any interaction is appreciated!

Also if anyone has experience with FSR 3, I’d love to hear your opinions on it.

I'm trying to run MSC. Apparently it's supposed to run flawlessly on Proton now, but that has not been my experience. It used to just crash on startup, but I installed MSCLoader following (this guide)[https://github.com/piotrulos/MSCModLoader/discussions/225\]. Using any proton version, the game will now open, where one of two things will happen:

A: It will start up like usual, and work like normal (except VSync doesn't seem to work, even when enabled), but if the window ever loses focus, the game goes completely black, and will not work until it's reinstalled (it will always open up like B from now on).

B: It opens, shows the very first frame (the AmisTech thing) but will not progress beyond that, and freezes up. It has to be closed from Steam.

I don't know why this happens, I don't know how to fix it. I've tried reading the log file it generates but it's over 20 million lines so that's not happening. What should I do to fix this?

IcarusDev is currently making Immortal Boy a 2.5D turn-based RPG of battles, puzzles and exploration - amid secrets and betrayal. It's a little of Undertale meets OMORI.

My post was removed from r/LinuxCrackSupport because it was too short. But am I missing a DLL? I open Heroic, add game, run installer first, setup.exe. Get to the install page, and it says it "can't connect to internet". No amount of retries does anything either.

This is my first time using WINE/Proton manually, and I'm also trying to set this up for someone. For clarification also, I'm running it on Manjaro.

I haven't seen this mentioned often but how's the windows partition gaming experience? Really want to switch over to Linux but dread all the issues I've heard it has with gaming. Wondering if a Linux machine with a windows partition dedicated to gaming would be a good compromise. Thoughts? Anything I'm missing here?

Hello! With the imminent death of windows 10, and windows 11 being an absolute mess of a system with a bunch of ai crap and spyware, I was going to go to Linux, probably steam OS. My current gpu is a Pascal gen nvidia gpu to which I intend on keeping till I upgrade for RDNA4 or later. I was wondering if it can be used pretty seamlessly on Linux for gaming? I've heard Nvidia wasn't really great on here, understandably so.

I've been trying for a while now to get Skyrim to work on Pop! OS. Yesterday I finally got SKSE working through MO2 (Mod Organizer 2) but I've hit another roadblock. SkyUI.

I've followed the install guide to the letter. The game is up to date, SKSE is current, SkyUI is current. The game runs fine if I launch SKSE through Mod Organizer 2. The problem I'm having is SkyUI isn't detecting SKSE and I'm getting a warning for it when I make a new character ("SKSE not loaded, SkyUI won't work")

Is there a way to fix this or an I SoL?
