EDIT: The solution was that it was freesync. Turned it off on my monitor, and that fixed it.

I recently picked up a used RX 6600xt, and ever since the screen will occasionally freeze for 1-2 seconds before returning to normal. As far as I can tell, input and sound work as normal during these. There’s no real pattern either.

I’m on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, on the 6.5 kernel (there was a sleep related issue for me in the default kernel version). Since getting the GPU, I’ve replaced the CPU and motherboard.

Any guesses as to what this might be, or where to look? I tried checking mint’s logs app and there didn’t seem to be anything associated with it.

    This has already been disabled for affected amd CPUs since 6.4 and back ported to the LTS kernels
