Should I use the proprietary drivers? How much fps do I loose if I use the open drivers? I use ChimeraOS (Arch Linux)
Don’t use proprietary drivers and don’t install amdvlk or whatever it’s called, just use mesa if the Steam install asks you to choose.
The open source drivers for AMD have great performance, they power the Steam Deck and have great compatibility.
and more tested too

As far as I know, the open source drivers are recommended for AMD - my driver installer in Mint doesn’t even list proprietary drivers.
Tangential: do you need proprietary drivers for ROCm?
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
btopto display GPU stats. EDIT: The Arch package isextra/rocm-smi-lib
Usually not.
How much fps do I loose if I use the open drivers?
None.
Isn’t there an fps limitation on HDMI using the open source GPU drivers? Something about hdcp/hdmi2.1?
There is, you won’t be going above 4k/60fps IIRC.
Do science at it
If only there were an easy way…
I’m serious. Systematically install, test, and take notes on all the drivers (there are like 4 iirc). If I wasn’t taking a crap right now, I could check my config and send it to you, but there is no guarantee it will work for you. Best thing to do is to do science at your own computer.
Sorry, forgot the /s
