Hi all,
I’ve been using an RX 580 for about a year now. It’s been ok, but I needed an upgrade for a little more FPS. Found this RX 6600XT used and snagged it for $100. Are there any packages I’ll need to install to make sure I get the best out of it? I know AMD support is baked into the kernel, but I remember having to install some Vulkan driver for my old GPU when I had some gaming issues. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Distro is Endeavour OS with the latest KDE plasma on Wayland.
Thank you
You won’t need any additional driver, since, as you already said, it is already included in the kernel.
However, as owner of a RX6600, I can tell you that the GPU will be quite loud sometimes. I can recommend you to check out LACT, which let’s you define fan curves, which makes it A LOT less noisy.
Appreciate it. Is there a gui for LACT? (I worry so much that I’d mess things up when it’s a config file). Would you be able to share your configs?
It is GUI (for the most part, you can also modify the yml file).
