After the patch surfaced earlier this month, YouTuber NJ Tech tested it on a Radeon RX 6500 XT running CatchyOS, where the feature can be enabled via the "Install GPU Boosters" option.
I assume its safe to say that's a typo for CachyOS?
It's that Linux distro you just can't get out of your head.
God damn it. Now you've got it stuck in my head too.
Try to umount
umount: target is busy.
Yes
Can confirm.
did you test it youself? of course the 4 gn 6500xt was an extreme example (as its basically a laptop gpu with much higher clocks), but im curious on how its affecting the 8gb gpus.
It's gonna affect anyone who's just barely running out of vram. If You're not straddling the limit you won't notice it.
I'm using a 6650XT and have seen sizeable boosts in scenarios where previously it would lag like crazy. I'll be honest I didn't expect to see much of a change at all. But given this is just one step above the 6500 id suggest anyone on a 8gb give it a shot when it's available for your distro. I'm wondering what it will be like with something like Doom Eternal which normally wants 10 or more gig for best performance.
I've confirmed it on a 6600XT (which I understand was not a popular card).
the reason i asked was because amds 8gb cards are the ones on that border where there are realistic scenarios where you could run out of vram in some edge cases (obviously not to the same extent as yhe 6500xt). and the 6700/6700xt will rarely hit that problem with their 10/12 gb allotments. good to know now though as my laptop uses a 7700S so id get those fixes on the edge case.
I need to test this on my BC-250 I use for Moonlight streaming
I've got one of those too, have they fixed the sleep state/idle power with linux on those things yet?
I set it up a while ago and haven't done anything but run updates and play games. I bet it's still pulling the ~50w at idle still
Let me know how it turns out I've got one as well but I mostly just use it for street fighter 6 and guilty gear strive
