Same thing here, the only difference is that I’m now running on 3.07 stable bios… It seems to be related to the latest kernel but I’m not sure.

Only the iGPU seem to be detected when using amdgpu_top

Have you tried setting DRI_PRIME=1 in the startup commands in steam?
(Game-Settings → Start arguments → DRI_PRIME=1 %command%)

I use switcherooctl to achieve usage of dGPU on KDE Neon:
switcherooctl launch %command%
