I purchased a system76 Thelio Mira Elite With a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. I kinda regret not going with Nvidia at this point but it is what it is. I primarily use it as a developer workstation, but want to play games on it as well so I can be rid of my windows box.
I didn’t expect it to be able to play the latest and greatest games but I did expect it to be able to play older titles reasonably well. Games launch from steam and seem to work, but I’m getting between 0 and 10 fps on the title screen of Kerbal Space Program. Other games are similarly functional but poorly performing.
Where do I start? How can I ensure my GPU is being leveraged? Is this as good as it gets?
Curious. Do you have a “run on discrete GPU” option when you right click an app icon?
Iirc that feature is exposed on GNOME. Maybe you couldn’t steam on discrete GPU option as a troubleshooting step?
That said I use both AMD cpu and GPU and it correctly defaults to the discrete GPU so this may not be the case
Even the IGPU should get better performance than that. I played Kerbal Space Program on a 2011 MacBook Air and got at least 30 fps.
I don’t appear to have this.
