Ags Driver Extensions Dx11 _init

[Jan Dominquez]

AGSis a helper library designed to provide a much clearer view of the GPUs in the system and the displays attached to them. It also exposes the ability to query each display for HDR capabilities and put those HDR-capable displays into various HDR modes, as well as access extensions for DirectX 11 and 12 that provide additional functionality and possibility for optimisations.

Version 5.2 adds support for app registration in DirectX 12. App registration lets you give more information about your game or application to our driver, which can then use that (ideally unique) information to better support the game or app if we need to make driver-side changes to help things run as efficiently and correctly as possible.

Got my 6800 yesterday, and completed build and OS install today.

I can confirm the only special thing to do is install linux-mainline from AUR. Thanks to all of you who narrowed it down while I waited for my hardware to arrive.

Arch will likely get linux 5.10 in a few weeks, and then everything will work out of the box! Good job AMD!

I would just like to add to the chorus of "successful" arch install on a 6800 but the system is not the most stable (unsurprisignly). Notably I get constant issues with blender that very realiably crashes X11.

I just tried RX 6800 XT with the latest kernel 5.9.13 and it works. Now RX 6800 XT should work out of the box with the latest arch linux.

But for some reason, steamplay games won't start with the official kernel and mesa libraries. I had to use mainline kernel, mesa-git, and lib32-mesa-git to be able to play steamplay games.

Other than that, the problem also happened to me whenever there was a configuration change like a new graphics card or using a different mesa version. The way I fix this problem is by deleting steam compatdata data in all of my library locations which for me it would be:

And also /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_od_clk_voltage seems to be empty. This is my first radeon gpu in 12 years, but I think its supposed to have a clock - voltage table for core and memory clocks, right?

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, I'm having issues where it comes up and tells me there is missing firmware. I have tried everything. I'm using an aftermarket card and I'm thinking the linux-firmware-git is not as up to date as it should be. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried installing linux-mainline, linux-firmware-git, mesa-git, lib32-mesa-git and xf86-video-amdgpu-git all returning a black screen on restart. I've been at it for 2 days and I have no idea how to fix it....

The problem is that my install of ArcoLinux will install fine but if I try to update the system in anyway I will just get a black screen. I don't have any of the packages installed that are recommended because anything I try I just get a black screen on reboot.

Not Antegros, or Apricity, or Manjaro, or any of the "easy Arch installers", nor Arch-ARM; nothing other than vanilla 64-bit Arch Linux. Ask those communities for support.

If you have installed Arch, please read the rules before posting. README: Forum Rules.

I just traded in my 3090 fe I had for a 6900 xt from someone locally, and can say, out of the box, everything booted up fine. All I did was remove anything nvidia and installed xf86 amdgpu, mesa, and vulkan radeon. Played a bit of warcraft 3 reforged (2 hours worth), WoW (dx11 performs well, dx12 is laggy and bad fps drops while with my 3090 dx12 was smooth as windows 10), and The Outer Worlds without problems.

Lm-sensors also shows fan speed, core, hotspot, and gddr 6 temps. Along with core voltage and power consumption. My core gets up to 78c, hotspot 96c, and gddr 6 up to 86c. Fans spin slow. Seems like the driver or firmware prefers low noise over lower temps. Idle is atrocious. 55-60c idle temps. Even on the gddr 6. Since the fans turn off at idle. My 3090 idled at 33c even though its fans turned off too. Seems like power usage is high at idle which can explain. My 6900 xt at idle is around 30-40 watts. I do have a 165hz 1440p nano ips screen say maybe that's why.

I went ahead after a quick testing and reinstalled arch to ensure anything nvidia was removed. So anyone else who manages to get a 6900 xt, it should work fine with arch as of writing.I am assuming the current 20201218.646f159 firmware at least has support for it.
