I’ve got a new PC with an AMD 7800 XT GPU and decided to go with EOS
I see here that the 7800 XT performs well with the UNIGINE Superposition Benchmark. However when I try on the same settings it I’m getting ~5fps
To rule out hardware / hardware config issues I installed Windows To Go on a flash drive. This gives me benchmark results in a similar range to those in the Phoronix article. My hardware is good

I attempted to try mesa-git but got:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
One thing that I’ve noticed is that when I do cat pp_dpm_sclk I get
0: 500Mhz
1: 41Mhz *
2: 2124Mhz
Is that in the wrong order? Everything I read online shows those numbers increasing as the identifier increases
Also when I use extra/corectrl 1.3.6-1 the Power never seems to go above ~25-30W and the Memory 96Mhz
While running the benchmark the temp stays well under 50C and the fans never spin up
I’ve run out of ideas. Can anyone here please help?
