Steam games not detecting discrete AMD 7900XT | Fedora 40 KDE |

Can someone please guide me through the trouble shooting process?

I see many people are successfully gaming on fedora. However, my steam games are unplayable after a fresh install of fedora 40.

Specs
Os: fedora 40
Kernel: 6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64
De: kde (x11)
Cpu: Intel 13700k
Gpu: Amd 7900XT
Ram: 32gb
Storage: 2Tb nvme
Monitor: connected to a 4k tv via hdmi
Steam package: flatpak
Proton: experimental

Games I have tried:
Cyberpunk, The last of Us 1, Xcom 2, Untitled goose Game.

Goose game runs at 25 fps at 1080p. ;(
Minecraft runs at 130fps, so I think it is a steam issue.

What I have tried so far:

Using feral gamemode

All combinations of
kde, gnome, x11, wayland, flatpak steam, and rpm fusion.

I have only been using linux for a few months so I apologize in advance for asking the wrong questions or asking in the wrong places.

Thank you for any and all help.

Can you post inxi -Fzxx here in </> preformatted text.

Also, What version of Proton are you running in Steam ?

Check :

Just noticed :

Can you try and check if the AMD card is being used? It “feels” like the gpu on the Intel is what’s running. the results of inxi will tell give us more info.

Trying to figure out preformated text, here is this in the meantime.

I have tried proton experimental and the latest stable.

Thank you for the speedy reply .

Device 1 SHOULD Be the AMD GPU not the Intel one. While I did show you a screenshot of Steam, I don’t have any games installed at the moment. I would try to force the use of the AMD Card maybe DRI_PRIME=1 somehow. I also am not on KDE. . .

5

Is “DRI_PRIME=1” a command, config file, or a steam launch option?

6

So this would be a Steam launch option. and my apologies it would be DRI_PRIME=2 since your gpu is Device 2.

Sorry I had to move location earlier.

Future edit here. . .

I’m looking into this but it’s possible you could make use of PRIME and set an environment variable to make use of it when the applications that need it make use of it.
What are the results of :

glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer'
&
DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_06_00_0 glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer'

Give me a few more minutes to see what more I can help with. I also have a build with discrete and intergrated gpu’s , but laptop and Nvidia drivers have this kind of built in.

7

Added f40, steam and removed gnome

8

Thanks for the help, I have to go afk for a few hours.

I am surprised the intel GPU is not disabled by the BIOS when you boot up.

You may find that in the BIOS there is an option to disable the intel GPU which should make things simpler.

Edit NUC is not the intel small PC but a full desktop.

10

glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer' gives:
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (radeonsi, navi31, LLVM 18.1.6, DRM 3.57, 6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64
)

DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_06_00_0 glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer' gives:
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (radeonsi, navi31, LLVM 18.1.6, DRM 3.57, 6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64)

same output

“Edit NUC is not the intel small PC but a full desktop.” - the “NUC 13 Extreme” was a wierd 3L sff that intel made. I wish I had just gone with a mini itx, but i’m stuck with it now.

ill reboot and look in the bios next.

11

Disabled igpu in the bios, but steam games are still running poorly.

I’m at a loss.

12

Please provide a new inxi -Fzxx report so we can see how that change manifested.

13

disabled igpu and switched back to wayland

That is very close to my setup. I have a 7800 and use steam from rpmfusion. Games run well.

I wonder if a config file recorded your old intel gpu somewhere?

You could try creating a new user, login to steam, install one game and see if it works.

If it does work then there is a config file in your $HOME somewhere with a bad setting.

15

So disabled the iGPU and you are still seeing bad performance in games :thinking: could you try the launch option of DRI_PRIME=1! %command%

Thanks for trying to help guys. How do I close this thread?

17

Closing is automatic. If there was a solution for a thread then you could have set that with button.

18

I never did find a solution, I’ll dual boot for now and try again in a few months.
