Per AMD themselves, please try this and report back:

If you are still experiencing this. As a test can you try to enable the bios item and report back if this helps or not:
Advanced->iGPU Configuration->UMA_GAME_OPTIMIZED
This will allocate more memory to the GPU.
I discussed this with AMD, and they suspect that these visual artifacts are caused by high memory allocation on the GPU. So providing more memory may help alleviate this issue.

This is actually a great idea and aligns well with what is described in the Fedora bugzilla thread.
In there they speculate that the issue is associated with near full vram usage.
If I can reliably reproduce that with the webgl fish demo I’ll report back.
Oh, maybe that is why I never experienced this. Certainly worth a try for the people affected! The only time I saw it was in a memory heavy game quite a while ago and I toggled that quite a while ago as well.
- Happens regardless of power or battery
- Internal display (have not tried an external display yet)
- have not tested with live usb. (if this would be helpful don’t mind testing this.)
I’ve observed this on sway and i3. Most frequently occurs after waking from sleep if I did not shut the laptop lid myself. Once it occurs in a given boot, I can make it go away by killing sway or i3 (which ever I’m using)and restarting sway or i3. However The longer the laptop has been on the more frequently this occurs. around a week or so it becomes so frequent that I just reboot. Rebooting keeps it at bay for a while. (some times a day or two some times only a few hours) origionaly thought this was a wayland issue untill I tried switching to i3 to get rid of it (which failed, however the only time I got it to happen on x11 was by messing with the refresh rates or having it happen in sway and switching to i3 before killing sway). This happens at all the scales I’ve tried fractional or not. Though it seem to happen less frequently at 1.
It was alway in the back of my head to check the framework forums but I feel silly for not checking sooner.
I skimed this thread and I saw:
- update the bios to 3.03 (but someone reported that made it worse)
- Adding the amdgpu.sg_display=0 kernel param (is that an x11 specific?)
Which is the correct fix?
Also do you still need people to file bug reports? And who do we file with, redhat, fedora, or amd? all have been mentioned in this thread.
All,
Please try what is suggested here and report back.
We’re actively tracking this and need your A/B testing to confirm if this is helping.
Trying to understand this…the A/B testing is to see if this “may help alleviate this issue.”…and not necessary a final fix? Correct?
Yes. On/Off, UMA_GAME_OPTIMIZED in use or not.
UMA_GAME_OPTIMIZED is the proper workaround for me. (as it increases vram)
But I can still reproduce it when I max out the vram otherwise: (checked with “radeontop”)
// (write 2g from GTT to VRAM 1000 times)
amdgpu_stress -b g 2g -b v 2g -c 1 2 2g 1000
When I launch a youtube video in fullscreen with firefox, or I attach my external Monitor (4k120Hz hdmi2.1) it looks like all the pictures in this thread.
lots of:
amdgpu 0000:c1:00.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0005 address=0xfffb1580000 flags=0x0000]
I am using Arch and kde plasma.
If you Have 32GB>= of RAM the UMA Game optimised should really be set. Ideally this should be allocatable tunable in the BIOS. Some applications balk at the 4GB and refuse to load which leads to dodgy hacks such as overiding the HII database i.e : GitHub - DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF
Frame.work can you make this a user selectable in the next bios release please 512GB 4GB 8GB options.

We can only set the optimized option on and off. As this is only a binary flag we can send to AMD firmware.
I also wish we had better control of this as well to provide you with more granular control.
Just as a note, if the GPU runs out of RAM, it will continue allocate memory from system memory.

Initially with the bios 3.02 I have been seeing graphical corruption but looking at the bios settings, I have enabled the UMA Game Optimized as well. I have not seen the graphical corruption, nor screen flickering. But I have another issue, which is specifically when I connect my 4K display through the Display Port module and the laptop screens goes dark after inactivity, on the resumption the laptop hangs/becomes extremely slow.
This issue doesn’t happen with the HDMI cable and my 4K monitor, neither with the Display port and another 1440p monitor I have.
Switching to the bios 3.03, same issues are seen. Graphical corruption without the UMA Game Optimized, system hang on the 4K display port on system resumption with the UMA Game Optimized on. I managed to disconnect the display and was patient enough to dump the dmesg for bios 3.03. (I have 7840U variant kitted with 96GB (2x48 GB) crucial DRAM sticks, running fedora 39 with gnome. kernel: 6.5.8-300.fc39.x86_64) Here are some of the messages after greping for amdgpu:

@Kieran_Levin ; I haven’t tried Smokeless UMAF on the FW13 ; given the HII Database seems to be exported by default tho as part of AGESA on most BIOS’s (I have one 570x mainboard from ASUS that it’s a tuneable ), I would expect it to ‘somewhat work’. However as there is no mention of Phoenix support have been Leary to attempt; It definitely is helpful on the 5600G I use as my HTPC box tho. Yeah appreciate the Static reserved portion is expandable into 32GB of System RAM on demand but - there are some things which only check the reserved portion for reporting.
So my curiosity got the better of me, Smokeless-UMAF does indeed work with the FW13 AMD however as you’ve mentioned the UMA Buffer data structure only has Auto and Enhanced exposed.
May not be related (ignore this if that’s the case): What’s this 8GB VRAM thing on the Asus Ally?
For that processor / BIOS, they seem to be able to choose between Auto / 3 / 4 / 6 / 8 GB.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGAlly/comments/149h6hp/optimal_vram_allocation_2_gb_default_4_gb_8_gb/
Is Asus getting some special TLC from AMD with additional BIOS / flag / setting support?
I can reliably reproduce white graphical flickering 100% of the time by clicking the desktop session picker in SDDM before logging in on Fedora 39 KDE (kernel 6.5.9-300.fc39.x86_64) with all packages updated. While SDDM’s desktop session picker’s dropdown (where you choose between desktop environments and X11/Wayland) is open, all of the screen except the dropdown itself flickers white very rapidly. Setting UMA_GAME_OPTIMIZED did not change the behavior at all.

Welcome to the community @Gawdl3y.
Latest kernel on Fedora 39 is 6.5.10-300 (at least as of today).
This is Fedora Workstation, GNOME, correct? Additionally, is this happening on the internal display or are there external displays attached?
SDDM is Plasma/KDE’s display manager so I guess not.
Thanks! I’m running Fedora Workstation KDE, and the issue I’m describing is on the SDDM login screen. This is on the internal display, and there are no other displays connected. At the original time of my post, 6.5.9 was the latest kernel - I upgraded to 6.5.10 yesterday when it became available and confirmed the issue is still present with it as well.
I’m having this problem here using two displays coming back from wakeup with fedora 39, AMD 3.03 bios, will try the kernel params mentioned
