Should I use the proprietary drivers? How much fps do I loose if I use the open drivers? I use ChimeraOS (Arch Linux)

Tangential: do you need proprietary drivers for ROCm?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Nope rocm works great with open source drivers and is way better than it was 6 months to a year ago

No, I think I have the library rocm smi lib (or something like that) (on Endeavour/Arch btw) installed and it is used by btop to display GPU stats. EDIT: The Arch package is extra/rocm-smi-lib
