So Ive switched my 1080ti to a 5700xt and now all my font rendering is jagged and terrible looking. I also cant seem to create 20-amdgpu.conf without the system refusing to start the Xserver.
Is there anyone with experience switching nvidia to amd that might be able to help? I would rather not completely reinstall but im at a loss as to what is going on. I removed everything nvidia to my knowledge and have mesa installed but things just dont seem to work right.
along with whatever else you need. Not sure if the name you tried caused a problem. Also - check in Appearance app that your fonts are only getting āslightā hintingā¦
Beyond that, youāre beyond what Iām familiar with!
I think the AMD 5700 XT should be working on integrated amd kernel modules. Are you wanting proprietary drivers? You said you removed all Nvidia including the 20-nvidia.conf xorg file?
Are the fonts cut off? It may require adding an environmental variable. Not sure where it needs to go but i picked this up reading on another site. So you may want to dig around some other sites as there are others who have these cards.
set env var RADV_DEBUG=nongg
I think this a variable set in mesa. Here is some info.
I have vulkan and everything installed, the fonts are jagged with heavy aliasing even when I enabled antialiasing for text and slight hinting. I tried making an 20-amdgpu.conf thinking it could be xorg configuration file issue but when I make one xorg wonāt start.
Iām at work right now so canāt test things ATM
Im at an absolute loss, the fonts look terrible even after a reinstall and they have a white halo around. Its incredibly difficult on my eyes and i cant figure out what the problem is or what sort of combo of words to search for to find a solution
Ive tried different freetype, mesa, and fontconfig versions
Ive tried making font.conf and local.conf files with antialiasing enabled, ive tried setting it through gnome terminal, gnome tweaks, etc but still nothing changes
Iām using GNOME and even still I tried everything in that wiki.
Iāve managed to work around the issue. I recalibrated my monitor and put it from default to 0 sharpness. Iām not sure whatās going on but the output on the 5700xt has substantially higher sharpness than the 1080ti to the point I canāt use the settingās Iāve had for a year on my Dell U2713H.
Ok i have a AMD question, during my Arch install on this pc i just installed the xf86-video-amdgpu thats it. Should i install the rest of this as well?
Any AMD APU or Radeonā¢ GPU based on the Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture is already Vulkanā¢-compliant. Because of this, form factors of all shapes and sizes can benefit from what Vulkanā¢ has to offer.
Compared to OpenGL, Vulkanā¢ substantially reduces āAPI overheadā ā the background work a CPU does to interpret what a game asks of the hardware ā to deliver meaningful features, performance, and image quality and expose GPU hardware features that wouldnāt ordinarily be accessible through OpenGL.
Edit: I have just installed it all on mine as i also only had the xf86-video-amdgpu and mesa installed. So i have installed the vulkan and the rest of the files on mine. Reboot is fine so iāll try it out and see but iām not gaming so i donāt know what difference iāll notice.
I donāt know if you are running the higher refresh rates on this monitor with Display Port and higher resolution? Or are you using HDMI? Also since you are using Gnome i think there are more issue with fonts? But anyway iām not an expert on it and i donāt know of anyone on EndeavourOS here using an AMD 5700XT that i know of. There are a lot of settings you can get into with regards to the Monitor and your Video card such as DPI and refresh rates and resolution. So you going to have to peruse the forum and other forums such as Arch/Manjaro/Arco Linux and see if you can pick up on some info or someone else who has come across the same issues with that hardware. You can also email the mesa people on github or AMD possibly for more answers?
