AMD GPU not recognised instead it's using Intel GPU

Hey everyone I have a LenovoG50-70 with an Intel Core i5-4210U (CPU), Intel HD Graphics 4400 and an AMD Radeon R5 M230.
I'm running Nobara Project which is a simplified version of Fedora Linux. I have no clue as to why or how I can use the AMD GPU as to the Intel GPU. I'm trying to run Halo which is compatible. The error logs are as shown:

This is the real error here; you have to give Heroic permissions to access the directory this game is in, otherwise it (the game) won't be able to see any of its files other than the main executable

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:11 PM

Thanks, do you know how to give heroic permission?

CommandMC•5/12/23, 12:12 PM

Flatseal (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) is probably the easiest option

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:13 PM

Thanks alot

CommandMC•5/12/23, 12:13 PM

Note that after you've changed the permissions, you'll have to modify your sideloaded game (in Heroic) and point it to the executable again. If you don't, it'll keep this temporary path

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:14 PM

Yea I'll tinker around a bit

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:14 PM

But also do you know how to actually change primary gpu? I can run a few games but I would prefer if I can run everything I have

CommandMC•5/12/23, 12:17 PM

You are most likely already using your AMD GPU. DXVK defaults to using it instead of your iGPU
You can add

PROTON_LOG=1

PROTON_LOG=1

to the game's environment variables, start the game, open the log found in ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/ and look for lines starting with info:info: to confirm

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:18 PM

Thanks! Let me give it a try and get back to you

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 12:27 PM

Actually it depends on if Nobara does this by default or not

Best way to check that is

inxi -SMGxx

inxi -SMGxx

CommandMC•5/12/23, 12:28 PM

I mean, it's GE's distro, I'd assume he would choose sensible defaults

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 12:29 PM

amdgpu dc on those older gpu's doesn't have vga out support so maybe he still decided to stick defaults but maybe not

Ddry-scarlet Best way to check that is `inxi -SMGxx`

Carry on, you're on amdgpu kernel driver.

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 12:37 PM

Yep, Nobara has good defaults it seems

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:37 PM

Yea probably

CommandMC•5/12/23, 12:37 PM

Wayland by default on dual-GPU systems? That's brave

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 12:38 PM

Actually it is not that bad; i used Wayland for a while on my Optimus as well

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 12:38 PM

Most things were working fine

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 12:39 PM

About your gpu select issue, you can try this with DXVK games.

""Leopard"Actually it is not that bad; i used Wayland for a while on my Optimus as well

CommandMC•5/12/23, 12:39 PM

Oh it absolutely can work, I have a test system with a Nvidia dGPU running Wayland as well
I just know how much of a pain those systems can be, so choosing a default that really works for everyone would've been my course of action

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 12:40 PM

Ye, in that sense it is a bad choice

Ddry-scarlet About your gpu select issue, you can try this with DXVK games. <https://github....

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:42 PM

I'll try

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:42 PM

Thanks to everyone for all the help

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 12:42 PM

Cheers

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 1:57 PM

Hey I'm not understanding how to use DXVK

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 1:58 PM

I installed it from the github but idk what it does and how to use it

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 1:58 PM

If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated thanks

Vverbal-lime Hey I'm not understanding how to use DXVK

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:09 PM

On Heroic and Lutris you don't need to manually install it. They both ship it and has enabling/disabling toggles.

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:09 PM

Same goes for Proton as well, DXVK enabled by default, turning it off can be done with an env variable.

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:10 PM

DXVK_HUD=1DXVK_HUD=1 is an env var you can use with the games to see if dxvk is working.

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:18 PM

i have the latest version of proton

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:19 PM

i just dont know how to enable it/configure it to use the amd gpu

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:23 PM

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:23 PM

like this?

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:28 PM

DXVK_HUD is variable itself

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:28 PM

Value is 1

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:29 PM

But that variable itself is not for using dgpu

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:30 PM

Just run it with DXVK_HUD variable and if it says intel then do this.

AMD GPU not recognised instead it's using Intel GPU

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:49 PM

like this?

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:51 PM

im only seeing the fps

Vverbal-lime im only seeing the fps

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:53 PM

Then do this.

DXVK_HUD=full

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:53 PM

nvm its working i guess

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:53 PM

Yes, it does

verbal-limeOP•5/12/23, 2:53 PM

will it work like that for all games?

dry-scarlet•5/12/23, 2:55 PM

To be clear, what you have wrote in there is a DXVK (DXVK_HUD) env variable and it only shows info to you. It will work with all dx9-10-11 games and hud variable doesn't affect any kind of gpu choosing.
