No 4K/144hz option with AMD GPU
Hey folks, new Bazzite user. I’m trying to switch to Linux from Windows, I’ve jumped between Bazzite GNOME/Nobara/Bazzite KDE/CachyOS and back to Bazzite KDE, deciding it seemed to strike the right balance for me.
Understanding that AMD cards (generally) work better on Linux systems, I picked up an RX 7900 XTX during Prime Day to replace my 3080, which just hasn’t been giving me the frames I wanted on newer titles for awhile. (Ever since I switched to 4K in 2022, basically.)
With my RTX 3080 previously, I was able to use my monitor (LG C4 42”) in 144hz mode via HDMI 2.1. This is true in Windows as well as Bazzite and other Linux distros. Now with the 7900XTX, I’m only seeing as high as 120hz being an option, despite the TV settings being at the full 144hz. My cables haven’t changed, so I know that’s not the issue. (Admittedly I didn’t check Windows to confirm the 7900XTX is pushing 4K/144hz there.)
Any suggestions for getting this working right?
