Hello all, recent linux convert here (at least enough to test it out over the course of this long weekend for me). My rig has a Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB for gpu, and it has worked well enough for me for the past 2 years on windows 10 with the amd adrenaline software. I had followed a detailed guide for that software for undervolt/overclock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOKaEKdusZQ, but am having issues figuring out how to translate these settings to Bazzite KDE desktop setup via LACT. I understand the min-max GPU clock bars alongside the max vram clock, but I am unsure of what the minimum vram clock, the GPU voltage offset, and the performance level/power profile mode selections. The power usage limit for my card is shown as 213w with a default of 186.

Hello all, I was trying to overclock my rtx 4090 cpu on bazzite, i used a windows os to check wich parameters to use, but i keep encountering a problem:
Green with envy seems unable to see the nvidia parameters, apparently it's a common problem related to the fact that the system is using either the hybrid or the integrated SUPERGFX settings.
I tried to force my dGPU through command line but nothing seemed to work. In fact when i list the compatible modes, only integrated and hybrid show up, any idea on how i can solve this?
(Currently out in my car waiting to pickup someone, will update with more detailed info on what i have tried once back home, putting it out there just to make the ball start rolling)
I have a 5700xt in my mini itx pc so I would like to undervolt the card to reduce fan noise and thermals. Is it possible to undervolt in Bazzite OS? I tried installing CoreCtrl but the app won't launch, haven't tried other packages.
Update: CoreCtrl started working after reboot, added amd control to bootloader (grub) and tried to underclock.
Currently testing with 1080mV 2000mhz, seems stable, temps are lower by 5-6% and RPM not getting as high, auto curve set for fans.
Update2: Settled on 1000mV 1925mhz, such a big difference, fan speed is halved at load and temps are 8-10 °c lower, even the junction temp!
So I'm currently using bazzite desktop (gnome) on a 2060. I came across an rx 7600xt, and would like to use it. From my understanding amd is better for linux gaming, am i right in thinking that? I didn't have any plans of switching my gpu this soon, so I had already made the switch from windows as I was just over it at that point. Is there anything specific I need to do? I'm assuming I just make a bootable usb, and run the installer again, like usual, but figured I'd ask before I made the rest of my night alot less fun. Should I rebase first? Does that apply in this scenario at all? Is it possible to move over to the amd version without the Bootable? Sorry if im asking dumb questions, i've been playing with Linux for over a decade, but only here and there, and nothing more advanced than basic Ubuntu, until I got my steam deck. Any advice would be very welcome.
*Edit; nvm, I'm dumb. Lol thanks for the help! Much appreciated.
