Yesterday I upgraded from nvidia 2070 super to 7900 xtx. Got it working on gentoo: I installed amdgpu, (USE="vulkan,vulkan-overlay) media-libs/mesa.
Then I ran Elden Ring from Steam using proton GE 9-5. I am just getting 41-50 fps at "Best Quality", "2560x1440p", fullscreen.

This is almost slightly worse than what I used to get using 2070 super.
Also glxgears and vkgears are somehow stuck at 60 fps.
I will dump some info here:

Code:

emerge --info media-libs/mesa

media-libs/mesa-24.1.7::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="X llvm lm-sensors (opengl) proprietary-codecs vaapi vdpau vulkan vulkan-overlay wayland zstd -d3d9 -debug -opencl -osmesa (-selinux) -test -unwind -valgrind -xa" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2" LLVM_SLOT="18 -15 -16 -17" VIDEO_CARDS="radeonsi -d3d12 (-freedreno) -intel -lavapipe (-lima) -nouveau -nvk (-panfrost) -r300 -r600 -radeon (-v3d) (-vc4) -virgl (-vivante) -vmware -zink"
FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-docompress binpkg-dostrip binpkg-logs binpkg-multi-instance buildpkg-live config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles ipc-sandbox merge-sync merge-wait multilib-strict network-sandbox news parallel-fetch pid-sandbox pkgdir-index-trusted preserve-libs protect-owned qa-unresolved-soname-deps sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync xattr"

emerge --info x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu

x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu-23.0.0::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="-udev" ABI_X86="(64)"
FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-docompress binpkg-dostrip binpkg-logs binpkg-multi-instance buildpkg-live config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles ipc-sandbox merge-sync merge-wait multilib-strict network-sandbox news parallel-fetch pid-sandbox pkgdir-index-trusted preserve-libs protect-owned qa-unresolved-soname-deps sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync xattr"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs -Wl,-z,lazy"





I was expecting amdgpu+mesa with vulkan use flag would be enough to make steam game works. Clearly either I am doing something wrong or something wrong with my GPU.

It being stuck at 60 sounds a awful lot like it is locked to vsync.

BTW , what kernel version and firmware are you running?

And which icd is used from /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/?

I am unchecking vsync on every game I am trying.
Kernel is 6.6.47-gentoo

I have no idea how to choose icd. I just installed vulkan-loader with "USE=layers".
I see two on my system.

Code:

(.#): ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/
radeon_icd.i686.json  radeon_icd.x86_64.json


Sons of forest is giving me 40-50.
Black Myth Wukong is unplayable at 24fps.
:cry:

Looking through protondb for Wukong I found this :
Code:
 MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT_FORCE_DEFAULT_DEVICE=1 %command%


This completely made the game run at solid 100-114 fps, 1440p, Very high graphics present with FSR.
I just want to understand what this variable mean and why such connotation like "*FORCE*" exist.

Was steam using software mesa for rendering? Why is this default when I clearly have X rendering using GPU:
Because I installed libdrm? Is X using it by default or I have to make such choice and how?

x11-drivers/xf86-vide-amdgpu does not explicitly put any conf files in /etc/x11/conf.d
Although such conf files are available in /usr/share folders. Does X read from there?


Code:

equery files x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu

I have so many questions. The Gentoo pages for amdgpu is quite complicated and misses details.
