Yeah, not worth the hassle installing AMDGPU-PRO at all. I've been gaming with RADV in Fedora for over a year now and I haven't even bothered checking Windows again for absolutely nothing. I'm so glad I can finally game pretty much anything on Linux and don't need to touch Windows anymore.
I love this But I compared my rx6700xt with Linux vs Windows, and truck simulator game is faster and stable with windows 😟 I tried with Manjaro and biglinux, both with kernel 6.1 And I like to play with Linux I not know this RADV Is included in kernel?
@@apachebcn its not the default, in some distros like big linux you have to install radv but... big linux has a utility to change the mesa version and the kernel too, for the kernel I recommend: linux-xanmod-LTS 6.6 and for mesa TGK stable = RADV ( english it's not my native language )
This is true only for Wine/Proton games, probably because the PRO driver is the same as the one on Windows and is just optimized for those games. I did some testing after I uploaded this video and found that Linux native games which use Vulkan have the same performance on RADV and GPU-PRO, with RADV slightly outperforming GPU-PRO in games like Metro Exodus. I did want to focus on Proton games in this video since that is what most people play. Another interesting thing is that RADV performs much better in CPU limited scenarios. Back during the summer when RADV had poor performance in DOOM Eternal, I opened an issue on Mesa's gitlab page and one of the devs said that he couldn't reproduce the issue, and RADV performed slightly better on his end. Turns out that RADV just performs better and better the more CPU limited you get, and he was running the game at 1080p on an RX 6900XT, so he though RADV already performed better. Well, after that they worked on it and now RADV is on par with GPU-PRO.
So normally you would see a few more frames per second for the Pro driver, but few games have terrible performance with Pro for some reason. So i would stick with the Mesa driver but i wonder if it's possible to interchange easily between the two depending on the game.
Any game running a translation layer from DirectX to Vulkan will run at a higher average and 1% lows on the RADV driver. When running a game that runs on Vulkan natively, RADV is either equal in performance or worse than Pro. You can choose which driver to use for which game by specifying it using the VK_IDC_FILENAMES environment variable. If I want to launch RDR2 with the pro driver, for example, I would put VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/opt/amdgpu-pro/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json %command% in the steam launch options. The location of your .json file may be different from mine.
@@mc-not_escher No negligible at all. When the pro driver is bad, it's really bad. Also, games like DOOM Eternal get like 40fps more with the PRO driver, so it's not like it's useless, it's just that 99% of the time you should be using RADV.
Im understanding, RADV is vulkan Im using manjaro with kernel 6.1 and graphic rx6700 tx And my xplane11 if i configure to use vulkan go extremely slow 😮
You need to set the driver in the game's launch options. For steam, you go to the launch options and paste the following: VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json %command% and the game should use the pro drivers. Also, the AUR package is out of date, use tkg's PKGBUILD instead. Tkg's github page also includes instructions on how to use the drivers.

Yeah, RADV is better.
Thank God they Easily swappable , so I choose a driver depending on what I'am playing

It seems PRO is slightly faster (2-5fps) in native Vulkan Applications, whereas RADV often completely outshines the former in wrapped games.

So it’s negligible, right?

I don't know how to install priv drivers :(
Priv?
@@Azarilh Yeah, but... Where? Haha
@@KATalyzt_ No, i dunno what it is.
@@Azarilh Huh?
@@KATalyzt_ nvm...
Does AMDGPU-Pro comes with AMD Catalyst or Adrenalin software?
No, those are Windows drivers. No fancy GUI on Linux, I'm afraid.
@@doompenguin7453 idk, corectrl is fancy enough.
@@kaltimoktober Yes but it's not official.
Any tutorial how to install RADV
Installed by default on most distros. On Arch, you just need sudo pacman -S vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon.
how do i install pro drivers? it looks like im still using the open source drivers even after installing it from the AUR. total noob here.
You need to set the driver in the game's launch options. For steam, you go to the launch options and paste the following:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json %command%
and the game should use the pro drivers. Also, the AUR package is out of date, use tkg's PKGBUILD instead. Tkg's github page also includes instructions on how to use the drivers.
@@doompenguin7453 yea i did use the launch option but it still says im using radv. will try the PKGBUILD.
what is RADV? is it opensource driver? is it means "V= vulkan?"
RADV = Radeon Vulkan. It's the open source Vulkan driver developed as part of the Mesa project.
@@doompenguin7453 Thank you.
