7600x paired with my 9070xt. Its always driven 120fps in every game that I have without issue. The games that don't reach 120fps is because of GPU bottlenecks.
metareferential
recommended to look for a used 7800x3d, so maybe I will go with this in the future.

Post some stuff how coils behave and cooling I actually considered AsRock Steel Legend Dark as an backup if I didn't score Gigabyte Gaming OC or Reaper.
How is the performance on Linux for the 6700 XT? I have the gaming PC having attached to my TV in the living room and I play from the couch with an Xbox controller, would you think it's worth it the change? I'm a dev so I have used Linux for dev tasks before so freaking with initial configs will not be a problem for me.So I have already put in the GPU and no issues so far on RM750X. I was worried there but it seems to be working good.
I have tested the RX 9070 XT on CachyOS and I was surprised it maxed out my GPU in Persona 3 Reload with Ray Tracing and 200% resolution scale.
I thought the scale was a problem, then ths crashes came.
Little bit of Google and it seems AMD rushed Linux drivers.
Dual booted back to Win10 first time in like 3 months... Lots of updates later, one DDU later, installing newest drivers and.. Same spot with a lot of ray traced reflections, same settings, 120-180w tops of GPU usage.
I had the exact opposite experience with RX 6700 XT under Linux power usage was like 40-70w while in Win10 it was more like 120-180.
And I was getting ready to fully ditch Windows.
Guess I will have to wait till EOL Win10, maybe they will patch the drivers on Linux till then.
A bit of a bummer since I have grown quite fond of Linux gaming and GNOME dash to dock look with Blur my shell. Plus workflow was so much better on Linux than Windows... But what else can I do.
BTW.
I managed to turn off the RGB with Gigabyte app since I have non-rgb build
BTW #2.
I didn't saw any fan settings in AMD Adrenalin Software like on my Sapphire GPU, do I really have to use the Gigabyte app for that? Seems like unnecessary bloatware... Will have to double check that since I might have missed something.
Amazing almost 1:1 performance with sometimes taking less watts for the same tasks, so better. Like in Persona 3 Reload. Sometimes it's a bit worse fps wise but its like 2-5 fps difference but with smoother frame graph.

You can add nonsteam games to Steam and use Steam input, I run Dino Crisis this way from GOG and I can use my d-pad instead of analog joysticks.
The best improvement over Windows is for me in UE4 and UE5 no shader pre-compilation ports when I buy games on Steam. Amazing work on Valve end.
Steam on Linux downloads pre-compilated shaders for Steam Deck from Valve servers and uses them on PC if you use games bought on Steam. So no stutters in those games whatsoever.
I had stutters in Evil West on Win10 like a mf, on Linux this is the gameplay:
I used CoreCtrl to control fans on RX 6700 XT and power managment.
As for games captures I use:
Install GPU Screen Recorder on Linux | Flathub
A shadowplay-like screen recorder for Linux. The fastest screen recorder for Linux
Same options as Radeon ReLive, with replay buffer going into RAM instead of SSD. And it uses GPU acceleration for x264 or x265. If you turn on the new UI you have similar overlay to AMD Adrenalin.

Hi, I’m MattsCreative, and I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with various topics such as Linux, emulation, and more! On my channel, you’ll find videos that cover how to install, configure, and use different Linux distributions and emulators, as well as tips and tricks...
I recommend CachyOS, Nobara Linux or just Fedora, all GNOME versions. Those were the best distros for me.
This guys guide to mod Fedora is really useful:
As for Steam OS look I just use Steam Big Picture mode. Tap Xbox button or 8BitDo button two or three times on a controller.
I also recommend to look through my posts and other user posts in this thread:
So, yeah for 6700xt I would recommend Linux big time, after a few tweaks and guides.
I love that games run in Prefixes on Linux so any stuff I have to mod there, just stays there.
If I break something there, I just copy save files and delete the Prefix folder.
No stutters in games without pre-compilation is a game changer.
Huge bummer I will have to wait till AMD sorts Linux drivers on 9000 series.
It's gonna be a pain in the ass dealing with those ports on Windows.
But I get that most users are on Windows and they had to sort those drivers ASAP so they would work at launch and Linux drivers are not a priority.
After a bit of reading it took AMD six months to sort RX 6700 XT Linux drivers and a year for RX 7900 XTX.
So I expect them to sort this out at least till Win10 end-of-life.
I really don't want to deal with Win11 whatsoever.
And since my other posts in Linux gaming adventures thread CachyOS started to work without issues with cursor in Wayland. So this is my main Linux gaming distro. Always the latest kernel.
Yeah if they patch the drivers stuff just works.

That's really good progress considering the card is so new and once FSR4 gets pushed, I am switching my living room PC to Linux as well.Linux drivers are steadily improving.
From max 340w tdp to 150-180w tdp in the same scene.
Still a bit to go, same scene same game Win10, 115-120w tdp to 150 tdp.
I can almost set a fixed fan rpm, there's still some issue because I get an error but at least the option now tries to at least be selectable in LACT.
Games launch and do not crash.
Wild not even two months have passed, let alone six months.
And tdp is going down and down. I think that till Win10 end of life stuff will just work.
Now only if DLSS Swapper gets the rumored Native Linux app and FSR4 becomes available on Linux then we can use OptiScaler. And I will be ready to fully switch OSes.

No way to know, but maybe a bit more powerful and ahead with feature set. It's probably 3.5 years away (late 2028).
If it's coming 2027, then it should be mid range of next GPU gen, so maybe like a hypothetical 9080 XT?
Hard to tell(it's about raster), because RDNA5 is different architecture. Patents show: AMD more focus in AI/RT stuff.
I just want the HDMI 2.1 issue to be resolved. I badly want to go back to using Bazzite/SteamOSLinux drivers are steadily improving.

Isn't PS6 going to be UDNA?
I would go with "unlikely" but it depends on a lot of things which we don't know yet.

The question you need to ask is whether Sony and AMD can work together to get such power on an APU in a cost effective way that allows them to sell a console for $500. Don't forget they'll need at least 32GB of RAM in the box too.
32gb of RAM?? For what??
You don't expect 32GB to be the standard in 3-4 years time? That would be 10 years after I built my current pc, and I remember thinking at the time 16 might not cut it.
I don't believe in 32gb. 24 gb with the new 3gb chips is the most. So 256 bit bus like before.
I suppose that makes sense, console generations usually at least double RAM size in the box though.
Doesn't make much difference price wise if the number of memory chips will be the same. Both options are equally possible. Depending on the size of the APU an option with a wider bus can also happen.

New stream. Release Candidate Kernel.
He is testing Silent Hill 2 Remake now.
Then again it will not be out for a few years and it will have to stay as baseline for 8+ years, 24 GB of RAM is not a big upgrade.
For GOG either use Heroic Games Launcher - it supports Amazon Gaming and Epic Games too or Lutris.
Yeah, I've noticed it too.
Given the huge disparity in bandwidth between GDDR6 and vector register memory used for the TOPs AI ML in the PS5 Pro and Mark drawing attention to the holy grail of having a fused convolution neural network (needing more vector register memory per WGP/CU) I'm not entirely sure he would consider the bandwidth gains of improving over GDDR6 to be money well spent unless it was a critical path bottleneck, so in the event the budget put the amount of TOPs/ROPs/FLOPS and vector register memory in jeopardy for more RAM/faster RAM in a simpler design, I think they would rather go for a complex SLI solution with the APU and stick with the cheapest GDDR6 option that gave them the most RAM, and sum of bandwidths to make sure the critical vector register memory for the WGPs went from 15MB to 60MB - at the same latency or better - to provide a fused neural network. The latency is going to be so critical to PSSR2 getting access to more TOPs per millisecond - given ML AI upscaling's position in the critical path - that complex solutions for hierarchical memory in terms of RAM and I/O-complex SSD virtual memory would be the preferred compromise to have the console last 8years IMO.
This seems like strange issues. Hopefully they'll sort it out.
DLSS no longer matters as much to me now that FSR4 is great. Contrary to popular belief FSR3 at 4K is actually pretty good.
I managed to snag a new 7800x3D on warranty for the price of used one to pair with my RX 9070XT
.
Agree. I run Bazzite on my HTPC (5800X3D / 7900XT) and HDMI2.1 support (and updating games while sleeping) are the last thing preventing it from making it a perfect living room 'console' experience.
