Recently installed Linux Mint on an old computer. I put my old RX 590 in it. I only upgrade from the 590 because on every boot on my windows machine I would need to go into adrenaline and underclock the GPU a bit to stop it from crashing when I tried to play games. Adrenaline isn’t a thing on Linux so I have no idea how to go about doing this now. Would prefer it just be set there on every boot but I am willing to do it manually each time I start the machine.

I did install the driver from AMDs website but otherwise I’m pretty much at a loss.

    thats actually your first issue, don’t do that if you want to use it for gaming
    the amd driver included in your linux kernel out of the box is already the best option for gaming

    anyway checkout https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl
    which allows you to restrain the power usage (which is probably your issue?) and/or underclock the GPU
    you can run Corectrl at boot so it automatically applies its settings

      Awesome thank you. Should I remove the driver’s I installed? FWIW I had this exact issue on Windows when that card was there so it’s not purely a driver issue.

          Got it working. Thank you. Now if only it was as easy to compile and build apps on windows as it is on Linux I’d be set. I’ve spent the better part of the night trying to build synergy on my windows machine because I’m to cheap to just hand them money for the compiled version 😂
