9070xt on Endeavor

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

Hello all,
I was lucky enough to procure a 9070xt Sapphire Pure today. I am working on getting my EndeavorOS install up and running with it. I understand that this is a brand new product/architecture, but was wondering if anyone could lay out what needs to be installed in order for this GPU to function? At the present, most game I launch crash.

I read the following article from level1Techs, but it does not go into any kind of real detail on what needs to be done in order to get mesa-git, vulkan-radeon-git or the firmware set up.

https://forum.level1techs.com/t/9070-and-9070-xt-setup-notes-for-linux/227038s.com/t/9070-and-9070-xt-setup-notes-for-linux/227038

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you doing a fresh install of EOS with the card in the computer? The only optional things to do are add vulkan and set up for hardware acceleration and video decoding if needed and also add 32bit lib files if gaming.

Edit:

Yes its a fresh install. I did install the vulkan and 32 bit vulkan libraries. Games are still crashing/not launching at all. Wondering if there’s something missing I need to wait for?

Running a new GPU architecture on day 1 on Linux is a challenge.

You probably need to install mesa-git

You need to get updated firmware but it may not have hit the linux-firmware package yet.

I am not sure what the status of vulkan-radeon is right now. You might need to build your own package using the latest source assuming support has been added in the main branch already.

This fixed it. Needed to build the mesa-git package from AUR and run pkgbuild.

The yay install failed.

Thank you!

How much did the retailer over price it from the 550 to 600 it should of been?

According to what I’ve seen Mesa 25.whatever which is the upcoming Mesa driver.

You can also try using linux-firmware-git from the AUR, it was updated just yesterday.

Didn’t the OP already fix it using mesa-git?

Would probably be useful to have OP marked it as “Solved” then.

If your issue is fixed could you please mark the post that resolved the issue as the solution.

Probably just using mesa 25.0.1 from the testing repo should do the trick, if you don’t want to jump through the mesa-git AUR hoop.

From what I’ve seen the latest Mesa 25 and some firmware file.
