Radeon rx 550 linux

Arch Linux

My discrete card (Radeon RX 550/550X) have worse performance than integrate one ( Intel UHD Graphics 620). I’ve noticed that when I try to play CS:GO.

Re: [SOLVED] Radeon RX 550/550X bad performance

Welcome to the forum. Please edit your post to use [ code ] tags around the inxi output, and use a pastebin client for the Xorg log (google drive requires us to download the file, something most people will not do).

How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

Re: [SOLVED] Radeon RX 550/550X bad performance

xorg log doesn’t show problems in the graphical setup.

You have a hybrid graphics system using a PRIME setup .

Post xrandr —listproviders output .
If that looks similar to the example on the prime page, check it’s gpu offloading section .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

This is the output from xrandr —listproviders command:

Getting Radeon RX 550 to work under Debian Stretch

There are three things that need to be updated in Debian Stretch in order to get the Radeon RX 550 running properly (or at all): kernel, mesa and proprietary binary firmware (bummer, I know).

First thing, make sure you have stretch-backports in your apt-sources with all the relevant components.

$ deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib non-free

Now, the kernel that currently comes with stretch (4.9.0-8) is missing some important configurations: CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI , and CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK . So you will need to install the latest one from the backports which does have the correct configuration.

$ sudo apt install -t stretch-backports linux-image-amd64

Next thing is getting the proper firmware

$ sudo apt install -t stretch-backports firmware-linux-nonfree

This will also update the firmware-amd-graphics which provides the binary blobs that are needed by the amdgpu driver to work properly. The old version does not support the new Polaris 12 architecture used by the RX 550, while the version from the backports ( 20180825 ) does support Polaris 12.

Now comes the part of upgrading mesa. There are a bunch binary packages that are derived from the mesa source package and we need to upgrade each one of them to version 18 (or later, but 18 is what is provided by the backports). The following two commands will upgrade any mesa related package already installed and then re-mark them as automatically installed (just to keep things tidy as they were).

sudo apt install -t stretch-backports $(grep-status -S mesa -a -FStatus "install ok installed" -s Package -n | sort -u) sudo apt-mark auto $(grep-status -S mesa -a -FStatus "install ok installed" -s Package -n | sort -u)

(credit for the last two lines). Now you can restart your computer and the RX 550 should work. You can test it using

$ DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon 500 Series (POLARIS12, DRM 3.26.0, 4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64, LLVM 6.0.0)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 18.1.6

The DRI_PRIME=1 is necessary, else glxinfo would use the integrated card.

This is not necessary, but if lspci does not properly display the RX 550, you will need to update the PCI IDs that are used to translate IDs to actual human-readable names.

Final word, if you are using TLP for power management, it may not play nice with the RX 550. With TLP enabled I get pretty horrible performance out of it (regardless of being on AC or battery).
