Hello! Currently, my framework laptop refuses to reach higher than 30 FPS on any program when using an external monitor and egpu enclosure (ASUS VS248 HDMI + Saturn Mantiz Pro V2 + AMD Radeon RX6800). OS is EndeavourOS rolling, on a 12th gen intel i5 framework 13. Any ideas?
Hi @Marcus_Taylor , Welcome back to the forums. 
I see you’re using EndeavourOS, have you tried first with Ubuntu or Fedora and see if it’s still just outputing 30 FPS?
not yet, as this is my daily driver. I can try later on tonight, however.
just did a fresh install of Fedora 38, and same result: I plug in my eGPU, launch GLXGears, and get stuck with 30FPS on the external display.
What are your kernel parameters? Will be in a line in /etc/default/grub.
Ensure you blacklist Noveau and have modesetting enabled.
Please read my original post.
parameters are rhgb quiet module_blacklist=hid_sensor_hub nvme.noacpi=1
may we know your xrandr results? for fedora

reports are from xwayland, as I am running wayland gnome fedora 38 right now.
Do you maybe have something like wlr-randr installed or is it possible for you?
What does sudo lspci -vvv -s <BUS-ADDRESS-OF-GPU> return?
You can find out which bus address you have by simply running lspci and look for the graphic card.
wlr = wlroots. gnome uses mutter.

curiously, my link speed is x16… shouldn’t that be lower for thunderbolt?
Doesn’t matter, as long as they both speak the same protocol. It’s one of the few wayland advantages, no?
1 Like
supposedly, but they are more close to dialects for the same protocol.
either way, that package is not installed in a default fedora workstation install, and so not on my framework either.
any news doc?
You can simply install it?
Either way, I noticed your Memory Regions and Bars (or rather Bar 0) is quite low (256MB).

Edit:
Maybe check to see what sudo dmesg | grep BAR= returns?
Mine says [301815.117731] [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=8176M, BAR=8192M
resizable bar support. something that I did research on in the forums. it’s supposedly set to auto in the BIOS, but the BIOS is not smart about that feature apparently. See here: ReBAR Support
@Anachron here’s the result of that command:
sudo dmesg | grep BAR=
[16708.178065] [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=16368M, BAR=256M
Do you use dual-RAM or single-RAM slots?
Also can you please install and send me the output of wlr-randr or something similiar that gnome has?
