I’m sorry but I’m new here and I’m trying to follow the instructions provided for my new 7800XT to be able to work properly. I’ve tried moving the firmware over manually as described by @Slickie_X but it will not allow me to even if I try using sudo in the command line or altering the permissions of the folder. I am admittedly rather casual when it comes to linux so maybe there’s an obvious solution here but I just cannot seem to find it and this thread has been my best source for how to solve my problem. If this isn’t the right place for this I’m sorry but as I said I’m new to these forums.
Try to get the latest kernel from backports. The 6.7 kernel should solve a lot of your problems.
If you have a spare Windows machine or a friend with a Windows machine, go there, plug in the card, use the Windows utilities to upgrade the card firmware. I think you will get a much better result.
I am assuming you are running on Stable here.
I am, and I have a Windows partition so I can use that. I didn’t realize I could upgrade the firmware from Windows, thank you.
I had actually used Zabbly to upgrade the kernel to 6.6 but I guess I need to go that extra mile.
So good news for anyone trying this. 6.7 is in Sid. The firmware .deb is still old. However if you download it from kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git - Repository of firmware blobs for use with the Linux kernel and copy it across. Doesn’t seem to have any of the suspend issues mentioned previously and I’m happily getting 60+ FPS out of BG3 at 4k.

Oh good! thank you I was having random suspend issues and I wasn’t sure why.
If I ever meet you I’m buying you a beer.
