I have a Radeon RX 7900 XTX on Ubuntu 22.04. It previously was running fine after installing amdgpu-install_5.4.50406-1_all.deb
, before I decided to update to the latest amdgpu-install_5.5.50502-1_all.deb
(July 2023); now I get poor framerates in games.
I used sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,workstation,amf --vulkan=amdvlk,pro
to do the install. Prior to the install, my glxinfo -B
looked like this:

Afterwards it looks like this:

Seems suspicious that the Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer)
has disappeared from glxinfo -B
?
I've tried:
- Re-installing kisak Mesa drivers
- Reverting to the older amdgpu package: performance is back,
Extended renderer info
reappears.
