I purchased a system76 Thelio Mira Elite With a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. I kinda regret not going with Nvidia at this point but it is what it is. I primarily use it as a developer workstation, but want to play games on it as well so I can be rid of my windows box.
I didn’t expect it to be able to play the latest and greatest games but I did expect it to be able to play older titles reasonably well. Games launch from steam and seem to work, but I’m getting between 0 and 10 fps on the title screen of Kerbal Space Program. Other games are similarly functional but poorly performing.
Where do I start? How can I ensure my GPU is being leveraged? Is this as good as it gets?
I have a 6800xt and can play literally all of them. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to.
Nooooo that would be a mistake with Linux.
KSP will run on a RPi. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to run the title screen. Something is very wrong.
My advice would be to contact System76.
Being that it’s a pre built and preconfigured there’s very little room for user error.
Did you enable Steam Play in Steam settings, under compatibility?
Yeah I’ve tried several Steam Play options. I get different behavior from crashing to some wonky rendering of the windows behind it, but none work
There’s only one Steam Play option.
I don’t think I have ever been GPU bound on KSP very well could be an issue with something else.
