  • I’ve been fucking around a lot with this same stuff on a similar setup (6900XT, sway, M27QP, Arch 6.4 tkg-pds). I managed to make it work more or less flawlessly. Here’s how I did it:

    • I use MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% in Steam to run my games.

    • When Gamemode runs, it’s configured to enable adaptive_sync, start gpu-screen-recorder, and run a script that sets pp_power_profile_mode to 1 and power_dpm_force_performance_level to high. As @Atemu mentioned, there’s some kind of bug with amdgpu, so by default the power management will be all over the place.

    • The built-in frame limiter in some games (e.g. Apex Legends, Risk of Rain 2) can cause stutter for some reason I don’t understand. V-Sync also had stutter and also caused noticeable input lag. The solution was to use MangoHud’s frame limiter with fps_limit=165 in MangoHud.conf.

    • This patch fixes the mouse move VRR issue. There’s instructions on how to apply it if you scroll down a bit. If it still doesn’t work right, try launching sway with WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 sway. No need to disable direct scanout either.

    Let me know if it works!
