7900xtx wont boot

General system Newbie
1

Hello, I recently bought a 7900xtx for myself and before that I was using the igpu inside my 7950x processor. When I connect the 7900xtx to the screen, the computer gets stuck on the boot screen, but when I connect the displayport to the processor, it opens. Also, when I type inixi -G, the result I get is:

Graphics:
Device-1: AMD Navi 31 [Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX] driver: N/A
Device-2: AMD Raphael driver: amdgpu v: kernel
Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.5 driver: X: loaded: modesetting
dri: radeonsi gpu: amdgpu resolution: 2560x1440
API: OpenGL v: 4.6 Mesa 22.3.1 renderer: AMD Radeon Graphics (gfx1036
LLVM 14.0.6 DRM 3.48 6.0.12-arch1-1)

I don’t know what to do, thank you in advance for your help

Has the linux-firmware package for that card made it to stable yet? If not you might need to grab it from testing.

3

thats the requirements you need to have for that card to work

Like @dalto already explained, the necessary firmware is in testing repository by now.

i can boot right now but display is so lagy i mean its like 200 ping in game. everythink is lagy even mouse cursor

 Device-1: AMD Navi 31 [Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX] driver: amdgpu v: kernel
 Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.5 driver: X: loaded: modesetting
   gpu: amdgpu resolution: 2560x1440
 API: OpenGL v: 4.5 Mesa 22.3.1 renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 14.0.6 256 bits)
``` here is my new inxi -G output

it’s not using the amdgpu driver. You might want to switch to testing by uncommenting all 3 testing repositories in /etc/pacman.conf and update all packages in there, and also make sure that you have xf86-video-amdgpu installed.

6

İ will try this

7

i did everythink you said everythink seems fine but my mouse cursor is gone here is my inix -G output

  Device-1: AMD Navi 31 [Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX] driver: amdgpu v: kernel

also i try to play dota 2 and i am getting 2-10 fps i think my gpu not working in games

8

now its using the right driver

but not the right renderer.
Did you connect your monitor to the right card? Could you try disabling the integrated GPU in your BIOS and check if it helps?

9

okey i will try it

10

i dont have igpu settings in my bios i have asus rog strix b650-a motherboard.

11

it should be somewhere in the Advanced Tab when activating Advanced View (F7)
My Asus TUF Gaming has it, usually the ROG have more options.

12

I just realized that if I don’t connect a displayport to the motherboard, the gpu is automatically disabled anyway but right now I have a different problem. I see errors like this for every second in dmesg output and it never ends.

Also, I have a 2 monitor setup. Since I updated the driver my monitors are going black screen. when I click on something on the monitor with a black screen with my mouse, this fixes itself. especially if I’m watching video on one monitor, the other monitor is constantly turning off and on like this.

i read somewhere, that some engineering-models made it into sales. Could be that your card is affected, can’t find the article at the moment.
it could also be that your issues solve itself with future updates. It should run, phoronix even made benchmarks with the current software.

using git - versions, issues can and will happen. Those are completely untested development versions.

here is my lspci outpu i dont think gpu causing this interesting

You could try the following kernel parameter in the default grub command line in /etc/default/grub Then update grub with sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg This will disable the kernel from reading the extended PCIe configuration and not report the errors.

pci=nommconf

16

badTlp errors are gone after updating bios

17

Okay then! Problem solved. :+1:

18

one problem left i have dual monitor setup and randomly my monitors flickering to black, when i hover with my mouse fixed but i cant find any error about this. its very annoying problem.

Are you just using mesa-git version?

Edit: Are you using this one?

unofficial repo, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#mesa-git
