Hi all!
I know that AMD has software for controlling RGB on Windows. I found some old threads where someone suggested disconnecting the LEDs themselves, which is not something I’m willing to do with my 2-day old card.
I also would love not having to switch to Windows just to turn the bloody RGB off.
I’ve never used OpenRGB and I don’t quite understand their compatibility guide for the 9070, so I’m not sure if it’s doable there.
So! Does anyone here have that card and was able to disable RGB on Linux?
As a sidenote: I just realised that my OS sees two GPUss - the dGPU and the iGPU. Is there a way I can turn iGPU off so that it doesn’t get in the way?
Any help appreciated!
Oh, I should probably mention - I’m on:
OS Garuda Linux x86_64
├ Kernel Linux 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen
├ Packages 1366 (pacman)[stable]
├ Shell fish 4.0.1
DE KDE Plasma 6.3.4
├ Window Manager KWin (Wayland)
Yeah openrgb is your best bet, but like others already pointed out it can be hit or miss. For example i used to have a sapphire nitro+ vega 64 and that thing never worked with openrgb in linux. They used a weird implementation that someone would have to reverse engineer in order to get it working, which to my knowledge never ended up happening. At the moment i’m using a reference rx 6950xt and it just worked straight away.
Aren’t the reference AMD cards, Sapphires? Lol.
There is no AMD reference design for the 9070 or 9070 XT.
I’m not sure if they still are, but yeah i think they were made by sapphire as well. My vega was specifically a nitro+ though, so not a reference design.
