XFX Radeon RX 6600XT running at like 10% potential

weirdly, the frames are doing super bad

I initially thought it was my integrated graphics on the CPU, but according to glxinfo it is using the dGPU

what should I do, the only thing I can think is I have to install different slash proprietary drivers, but after looking at similar posts apparently you don't have to 😭

sammypanda Yes indeed, the kernel/mesa comes with everything you need for AMD graphics.

That's kind of weird, because I have RX 6600M running pretty good. They are technically from the same product line, so I don't think the driver should differ that much?

i haven't tried it on windows, but i don't see why it wouldn't be fine outside a driver thing.. i have a Ryzen 5 3400g which isn't gonna bottleneck it, especially not to this level

any idea is good 😅

steam decided to use the integrated graphics despite nothing else using it lol, this is resolved

if ur stuck, my solution was to launch via the command line with: DRI_PRIME=1 steam

sammypanda no wonder frames were bad, glad it's resolved
