Two amdgpu at once

shipa_2 · 2024-04-01 13:08:43

hello everyone, i bought a nice CRT monitor and a second gpu (bcs there's no vga output on RX 570). And performance in games, even in STK very poor. so i checked inxi -G, and here's output:

Graphics:
Device-1: AMD Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM] driver: radeon

Device-2: AMD Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590]

Device-3: Logitech Webcam C310 driver: snd-usb-audio,uvcvideo type: USB

resolution: 1: 1920x1080~60Hz 2: 1920x1080~60Hz 3: 1600x1200~75Hz
API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: kms_swrast,r600,radeonsi,swrast

API: Vulkan v: 1.3.279 drivers: radv surfaces: xcb,xlib

RX570 is my primary gpu, and R5 230 is secondary.
The question. How to make it works normally and load two drivers at once ?

please give some info what DE and if x11/wayland and how you set the primary gpu.
Does the performance improve if you play on the other monitor?
What's the output of 'glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"'?

I also had this issue with my egpu, because it:
cpu stuff => renders on egpu => compositor/DM renders final image => back to egpu and to display(each => is additional latency/a bottleneck).
These unnecessary comms between the gpus where fixed by setting the primary renderer to the egpu.

Plasma 6, Wayland, i can't set primary gpu, just take in mind that R5 230 is not my main gpu
Performance.... is absent. 2fps in SuperTuxKart

i've set amdgpu as first module in mkinitcpio.conf
i've set kernel module parameters for both amdgpu and radeon
i've disabled loading radeon at boot
but amdgpu kernel driver is not using with R5 230

Terrascale is neither, if this has any chance of working you should not disable radeon since both modules need to be loaded do these kernel params take the proper effect.

Regardless I'd say the best chance to get this working halfway "properly" is to assign two completely distinct xorg screens: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multih … te_screens

You're probably keep your sanity much more just plugging into the newer GPU with a HDMI to VGA adapter or so

all that adapters are trash. But R5 230 works with ATI driver pretty well. But inxi -G says that rendering device is CAICOS (which R5 230), so how can i change that to my main RX 570 ?
here's the output:

after installing ATI driver that's "OpenGL renderer string: AMD CAICOS (DRM 2.50.0 / 6.8.1-arch1-1, LLVM 17.0.6)"

thanks, added in /etc/enviroments, and rendering device again RX 570.

Thanks anyone, thread solved

Glad to hear, please edit title with [SOLVED] for future discovery.

My apologies, I mistyped my search and though it was a GCN1 card.
