As the title says I have sold my 1080Ti and I am thinking to go ALL RED under Linux.
I have a 1950x Threadripper with Fatality x399 but it doesnt support PCIE ver 4 (I have read that it doesn't matter much in gaming performance )
Anyway I am thinking to buy the Red Devil AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 RADEON RX
https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1607314166
I was an NVIDIA user for many years so this is my first time to go with RADEON
Anyone had a good experience with 6900XT? Any advice would be much apreciated
Many thanks in advance

PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil Product number 90824551 Available from stock. Reserved for you.
And that was the last one ... no more available...
It's a bloody whopper of a card, better make sure it fits beforehand! This mofo sure didn't leave much room to spare in my old case. You'll also need a beefy PSU, I wouldn't feel good with anything under 850W. Got a 1K unit here and haven't seen any issues, using all three power connectors on separate cables.
Linux support isn't perfect really, adjusting voltages/fans/clocks etc is said to improve with kernel 5.12. Nevertheless, it works great and runs hella fast. Gets a bit warm in my case as the airflow isn't optimized for this huge card that generates quite a lot of heat and dumps it right into the case air. It's below 60 C idle so the fans don't spin at all then.
FWIW, I run Siduction with Mesa git.

Running Kernel 5.11 and Mesa 21.0.0rc4

I just got the 6900 XT on Friday so I had time to play during the weekend.
This card is really a beast...
The only problem I have is that I use 4 monitors and when monitors go on standby - some of them dont wake up and sometimes it messes the KDE UI since one monitor is not waking up.
if I reeboot is ok , sometimes with arandr I may fix it but is very annoying.
Anyone has a solution for this ??
Thanking you in advance ..

amdgpu had some wake up bugs recently. Fixed in 5.11.3 and on.

EDIT: Oh, looks like it might be fixed in 5.11.3 already, so if you're on that, nevermind. I'll upgrade later today and give it a whirl myself.
EDIT2: 5.11.4 works just fine, so you're probably hitting something else. Assuming your kernel is up to date. But I suppose it's something to do with power management in any case.

If arandr does the trick, you may want to create an script with xrandr and add a keyboard shortcut on your DE. I recall using this as a workaround with three monitors in a lenovo dock and it worked flawlessly (I remember that the workaround was to switch to one monitor and back to three - one script + shortcut for each action)
