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)
Does the GPU store the RGB settings?
I use Corsair iCUE and I configure on a Windows VM. If I turn off the VM it keeps the settings in some hardware memory and works as if I configured it from Linux.
Huh, a Windows VM might be a brilliant solution to this.
And now I’m wondering - could I maybe use something like Bottles or Wine to install the Windows software that handles Sapphire LEDs? Or would these apps not see the dGPU when virtualised like that?
It’ll depend on the implementation of the software. iCUE did not work using Wine when I tried it. I have no clue about Sapphire.
