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.
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.
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.
