I have 2 plattforms running am5 and am4, which is a Ryzen 5700x + RX 6700 XT and ryzen 7700xt + RX 7900 GRE. Both running Ubuntu 23.10 and Lutris.
Despite the RX 6700 being labeled as WQHD card on release, i was disappointed by the perfomrance in wow legacy raids one year after I purchased it.
And because I asssumed to try out some AAA games later last year, I invested in the am5 platform.
But unfotunately it turned out, that i am mostly sticking to wow classic hardcore, which is far from being a demanding game.
For sure I used the am5 system for higher framerates and all glossy things enabled. But it turned out, that once or twice per evening, the card gets a 6 to 10 seconds hickup or freeze. Which is quite tempting on hc, considering hardbeat and bloodpressure. This only occured on the am5 plattform, once or twice during 2 h Gaming sessions. So I switched the GPUs between the systems. Still the 7900 GRE has thew same issue, now on the AM 4 System. Now I switched back to the am5 System with Ryzen 7700xt and RX 6700 XT. Which feels a bit odd.
Mangohud values for WQHD on both systems:
RX 6700 XT GPU: ~40% / CPU: ~4 - 5%
RX 7900 GRE GPU: ~25% / CPU: ~4 - 5%
So the golden Rabbit is definetly in a bored state and far from power or temp limits.
GRE is sitting in a Hyte Revolt and the 6700XT in a Silverstone SUGO 16, which by far has less access to fresh air and exhausts for the GPU, then the HYTE.
Can anyone giva a hint or has an idea whats happening to the GRE?
Or is there a known issue with the linux driver?
