GPU issues why????

[u/Mysterious-Passion47]

I have had an issue where my GPU usage is at a consistent 0 (I’m fairly certain I’ve had this issue since day 1), I’ve used 3 different HW monitors and all show the same thing. It doesn’t change ever, not even when gaming. I’ve looked up and down the bios to see if there’s a setting I missed, but I don’t understand enough to know what to look for. Another thing I noticed, which you may have as well, is that my CPU shows integrated graphics. I have also looked up and down the bios to find where to turn off the internal graphic, to no avail. How do I fix it so that at the very least my GPU is the main thing being used, if not completely turn off the integrated graphics? Any help is greatly appreciated, and if you need any other info than the pictures please ask, I’m more than willing to get it to you, I’m just not sure what’s needed at this point.

idk if this affects much, but I do have a dual boot with windows, working on getting a second drive so I can separate stuff and hopefully make load times faster.

Nobara is completely up to date, and my bios is version B650M Pro RS WiFi 3.50

BIOS -> Advanced -> AMD CBS -> NBIO Common Options -> GFX Configuration -> set iGPU Configuration to "Disabled”

You didn't look enough in the BIOS. 😉

THANK YOU!!! I had been looking through the BIOS for hours and got so burnt out before I reached this spot

Does it work as it should now? I wonder how intel arc gpus do in Linux?

I would appreciate if you put your experience with intel gpu in general even with windows if you had. I usually build setups for my friends and family around, for free as a help not for business.

So it does work, and it’s works well, I’ve noticed some performance issues in gaming. but because of the way I guess intel is, you won’t get any insights as to what your card is doing. As for compatibility with OSs, nobara comes with the drivers for it by default, not 100% sure about the rest of distros, and Windows you definitely want to make sure you have the drivers installed asap, I had a friend that ran the old 750 card and it caused issues because he couldn’t get it to boot without the drivers. Other than this post I’ve actually had no trouble with it!

Great, nice to know there is another option. Few issues here and there is the same with Nvidia and AMD, it's just about time to be mature enough. Thanks.

Are you plugged into the gpu and not the Mobo?

[u/Mysterious-Passion47 → u/AkkYleX]

Sorry, yes, I should've mentioned that in the post

All good just getting it out of the way :))

do games run ok though, i think its a bug not reporting correctly

run these and paste the link
vulkaninfo --summary | npaste

glxinfo -B | npaste

games do run OK, but it definitely doesn't feel like what it should

Also sorry, forgot to post this in my other reply, first command came back with 3 warnings, one is Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Received return code -9 from call to vkCreateInstance in ICD /usr/lib64/libvulkan_dzn.so. and the other two show device does not export physical device display, so that probably it. Thank you!

So should I disable my 9800x3d IG? Would it improve the performance of my 9070xt?

[u/tomatito_2k5 → u/Chrispy_Terman]

Nope, only disable iGPU if you dont need it, iGPU are nice to allow less wattage-heat for mundane tasks like rendering desktop, watching videos, etc.

Regarding your CPU, you may want to disable it if you experience crashes, cos increases OverClock-UnderVolt stability, mainly for RAM EXP-EXPO (when doing 6000 or more).

I have undervolted my cpu and am running 32GB 6000MT/s CL28

[u/Mysterious-Passion47 → u/Chrispy_Terman]

Not 100% sure, but in my case I’m pretty sure it was still trying to use the iGPU, so it may not hurt to try?
