7800 XT power-limited despite GPU load
The plot thickens!
I fired up Enshrouded, which is another GPU heavy title in my rotation, and it pulled 220W with zero issue or complaints. So it looks like this may be a driver/proton/game issue with AC: Shadows.

Regardless, not a Bazzite issue.

That said, it might be a PSU issue. The 9070 is no longer pulling 220W in this system, and even switched the PCIE ports used. Interesting.

7800 XT power-limited despite GPU load
Hey, all, I decided to just move the 9070 to the living room PC (since that TV doesn’t have VRR and the GPU horsepower can help keep it locked at 60 fps), and I moved my 7800 XT to my office PC where the monitor has VRR. Going to mark this as resolved so as not to further bother the devs. I appreciate all of your time and input.

Also, will have to put the 7800 XT back in. I was under the impression it was a RDNA3 issue so I swapped the RX 6800 in

I’ll have to get back to you on that. Not home right now.

All of that makes sense. But something is definitely off, as a 7800 XT should not be less performant than a base PS5.

Fair. But even in Gamescope it’s still showing about 100W below TDP, and the performance seems to reflect that.

I’ll mess with it again later; I’m out of patience for today.

Which leads me to suspect it’s a Linux bug which is annoying because I don’t want to go back to Win11; Bazzite is perfect for the living room.

I can try different PCIE ports on the PSU next. But I didn’t have any of these issues when it was on Windows.

I’m away from my PC now; swapping GPUs in an ITX build is a pain so I gave up for the day

It’s the Corsair SF850. Same PSU that’s in my other PC, where the new 9070 pulls right up to its TDP without issue (also running Bazzite).

I even switched the 7800 to the 6800 and it’s doing a similar thing. 7800 won’t go above 180W, 6800 won’t go above 140W.
