Hi,
I’m using Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon with kernel 6.8.0-48-generic and BIOS version 3.03. While I was setting up Steam to launch games using the dedicated GPU I noticed that my graphics card does not seem to be recognized properly. I followed the instructions from here (DRI_PRIME1 detection). The output of vulkaninfo for GPU1 is supposed to say RADV NAVI33 but in my case it is the following: “AMD Unknown (RADV GFX1102)”
GPU0:
VkPhysicalDeviceProperties:
---------------------------
apiVersion = 4206847 (1.3.255)
driverVersion = 96477185 (0x5c02001)
vendorID = 0x1002
deviceID = 0x15bf
deviceType = PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TYPE_INTEGRATED_GPU
deviceName = AMD Unknown (RADV GFX1103_R1)
pipelineCacheUUID = e75ab6b8-f0a3-6b04-20f4-e8b7f1c24530

GPU1:
VkPhysicalDeviceProperties:

apiVersion = 4206847 (1.3.255)
driverVersion = 96477185 (0x5c02001)
vendorID = 0x1002
deviceID = 0x7480
deviceType = PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TYPE_DISCRETE_GPU
deviceName = AMD Unknown (RADV GFX1102)
pipelineCacheUUID = e10a6cab-7e01-d585-a6dc-927c1b1fd8cd

GPU2:
VkPhysicalDeviceProperties:
---------------------------
apiVersion = 4206847 (1.3.255)
driverVersion = 1 (0x0001)
vendorID = 0x10005
deviceID = 0x0000
deviceType = PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU
deviceName = llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 256 bits)
pipelineCacheUUID = 32332e32-2e31-2d31-7562-756e7475332e
Adding the launch option to a game
DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
or
DRI_PRIME=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Unknown (RADV GFX1102)" %command%
does nothing: I verified with the dGPU checking tool that the discrete graphics are not used.
What can I do to fix this and make Steam use the dGPU?
Here are some additional system infos:
