Checking Out The Sapphire Radeon RX 7600XT On Linux!

• I must have got lucky with VFIO passthrough. My main Alderlake machine running PopOS! with a 6900xt passed through to a Win11 VM works perfectly with the only necessary thing being to disable REBar or it just black screens/Error 43.

  My Video/Docker container server runs OMV 6 on a B350 board 5800x3d and passes through a 3060ti to a win11 vm and once the drivers were installed it just worked Rebar and everything.

  Must have really lucked out.

• Never enough vram for VR titles especially social vr like vrchat

• I might get to my working station

• I really really hate this 8x PCI-E trend they got going on.
  You are just so screwed if you are at a lower PCI-E gen, and I am not about to think of forking out for a new machine with sufficient amount of PCI-E lanes (Above 16-20) as they cost hell of a lot of money at the moment.
  Give us PCI-E 3.0 x16 instead, rather than force us at PCI-E 3.0 x8

• linux gaming on amd is awesome 🙂

• I'd love to upgrade. My RX 5700 is defective, which I didn't find out until after the warranty ran out. It has the hard crash issue. I can manage to minimize it by lowering the power cap, but it still crashed once since I made that change.

• Amen for all the display ports. Would very much like 4x DP rather than 2x DP and 2x HDMI.

• at 2:39 I see you struggling to grab the corner of the window to expand it; does PopOS not allow meta/alt + right mouse to resize it like the other DEs?

• 6:55 loved the Nvidia vs AMD comparation on linux. There is almost no video out there doing that. Great job!

• Running the 6700XT on Arch KDE and it’s flawless. Absolutely stunning card.

• Is RDNA3's AV1 hardware encoding/transcoding available on Linux? Including FOSS CLI software.

• AMD has recently released drivers with Fluid Motion Frames. I am currently using it with a last generation GPU 6800 and the performance is impressive. My frame rate for Diablo 4 at 1440p has increased from around 160 to over 300. I am curious to see how the 7600XT performs with FMF on Windows games, although I am uncertain if it is available on Linux. Your reviews are always informative and helpful. Thank you.

• 6:10 "HDMI ports included because people run 120hz OLED tv's" – since you made no mention of it, does HDMI 2.1 work on AMD cards in linux now??? Can you run 4k@120 now? This is such a dealbreaker that is easy to miss. It should be heavily emphasized.

• …but buut… it's been the year(s) of the GNU/Linux Desktop since 2012 (Windows 8 RTM)
  😥

• I puked a bit, that tragic mouse.

• SR-IOV?
  I still want to play with VDI in my lab, and since the A770 mod talk has gone dark…

• Noob question, but few months ago couldn't get linux to boot on my 7950x. Research it and others said the kernal update from 5.19.0-41 to 5.19.0-46 was the issue. Had no GRUB menu. People suggested because my Nvidia gpu, I'd be able to boot with "nomodeset".

  Anyone have a similar problem/know if it's been fixed?

• I still find AMD's management of their GPU division rather poor. Most visible in how they handle the gpgpu side of things and extremely fragile "pro" drivers for Linux. I don't mean their tech is bad, but the way they manage support is lacking to put it mildly. I mean why doesn't Debian have first class support when Debian is both an upstream AND has a whole team working to debug hip-rocm on linux?
  Why doesn't AMD have a viable hip-rocm product compatibility list? (They finally made an extremely truncated list in the last few months but it's wildly incomplete.) Why do they actively hide older versions of software and firmware that may be needed for older (really modest age) hardware and operating systems?

• sweet!

• THE BIG PROBLEM whit all this AMD 7000 series is the termal 110C in TDP. And you should teach people how to optimize the control of temperature of this AMD GPU-s.

• direct ml on windows for me has been so much slower than running ROCm. Glad to see ROCm support on day 1. good on AMD

• Is this card a good replacement for the 5700 Pulse tho?
  VFIO issues are kinda a bummer as I would to tinker with it someday again but right now… no card really seems to be a product worth putting money in as successor.

• The VRAM was probably because of how useful it can be for generative AI workflows. I'm glad they added it!

• Games like ARK asa use 13 -14GB of Vram in 1440p

• i hope Amd will have the same level of support as Nvidia when it comes to wsl some day.

• Why would someone want more then 8 lanes… Because they have a 5800X3D on a 300 series mobo? But then again, they likely have a faster previous gen video card which would make this a downgrade. But yes, AMD and Valve have done so much for us Linux gamers.

• Garuda Linux is a fairly overlooked distro, it even comes in a "gaming" version with a lot of tweaks and useful software out of the box.

• Gaming on Linux has gotten so good, so quickly, thanks to Valve and AMD. I've been daily driving linux (fedora 38/39) for the last year and a half and I'm never going back to Windows. It's so nice, my computer feels like mine again. No more Windows trying to force me to use my computer a certain way, or advertise to me, or try and force a new "feature" on me.

• Great video but I have to ask, why the old Apple keyboard and mouse?
