AMD Radeon RX6600 XT

This is how I’m working with this card, this method will use the AMDGPU (already installed by default) and RADV (vulkan)
Note that there are other drivers that you can use, like AMDGPU PRO
The same can be said about vulkan, there is also AMDVLK

To get firefox 96 hardware acceleration in Firefox/MPV, including H264/VP9/AV1:

vaapi
# pacman -S libva-utils
# pacman -S libva-mesa-driver
# pacman -S libvdpau-va-gl   (translation layer) - VDPAU driver with OpenGL/VAAPI backend. H.264 only.
# pacman -S libva-vdpau-driver (translation layer) - A VDPAU-based backend for VA-API

To play games:

Vulkan

To play games:

  • Install Vulkan

vulkan-tools

Note: This is not necessarily the better way of doing it, its just how I did and now I’m sharing with you.
