AMD RX 6900 XT from Sapphire NITRO

[tle]

Last week I purchased a new AMD RX 6900 XT for gaming. It was running perfectly fine on my Windows gaming rig.

My first few attempts are unsuccessful, I've tried the stock kernel of Fedora 33 (5.10.20) and Fedora 35 (5.12-rc2) but none could recognise the card correctly. Loading amdgpu yields error (see https://pastebin.com/sEucjVqh for 64K page size and https://pastebin.com/VqwiTx3F for 4K page size), I have submitted an issue upstream at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1519

UPDATE: Fedora 37 (6.10) amdgpu now runs perfectly! OMG!

As you are using the latest Fedora I suspect you have the latest dependencies, nonetheless, can you confirm you checked the version of:


amd firmware (maybe take directly from Git and copy into your system /lib directory)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

mesa

Xorg or Wayland?  Try both


Maybe we need to develop a small reporting script that people can use to build a comprehensive report of each GPU test, all dependency versions, checksums, logs, key config values, kernel config, etc

I am using the linux-firmware-20210208-117.fc33 which is reported working with x86_64

I will try to grab the latest firmware from git and see if it helps

[tle]

No good even with the latest firmware from git source

[tle]

Update: have tried with 5.10.23 but with still no success

[pocock]

Are you using Xorg or Wayland?

It is a good idea to try with both

Have you contacted the amdgpu developers to make a bug report?

Here is his bug report.

It crashes instantly when I do `modprobe amdgpu`

I've sold my 6900XT to free up the cash for the upcoming Intel DG2. Fingercross Intel would nail the driver correctly

[MPC7500]

I've read somewhere that DG2 is Intel only or something like that. But can't find anymore.

[tle]

The DG1 is only compatible with some Intel motherboards. It does not make sense for Intel to launch DG2 that does not run on non-Intel boards

Guys where are we with AMD's new 6000 series cards on Power? Has anyone been able to get them to work properly yet? Drivers should have taken a step further to date than when TLE initiated this discussion ...

[tle]

AFAIK it is still broken with 5.13.x and 5.14.x as of July 2021

[tle]

It's been more than a year.

Just a bit updates from my side:

* The promising Intel ARC A770 is not supported on ppc64le (because the i915 driver is coupled with codes that runs only x86_64) - unsure when Intel would revamp the driver

Wondering if anyone has given Navi 2-based card a go since 2021 and whether the driver has correctly supported the cards.

[MPC7500]

Raptor has a Navi2. But I don't know if the issue is fixed:
