I purchased a system76 Thelio Mira Elite With a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. I kinda regret not going with Nvidia at this point but it is what it is. I primarily use it as a developer workstation, but want to play games on it as well so I can be rid of my windows box.

I didn’t expect it to be able to play the latest and greatest games but I did expect it to be able to play older titles reasonably well. Games launch from steam and seem to work, but I’m getting between 0 and 10 fps on the title screen of Kerbal Space Program. Other games are similarly functional but poorly performing.

Where do I start? How can I ensure my GPU is being leveraged? Is this as good as it gets?

    Take a look in each game’s graphics settings. Not all of them show it, but some do. In Baldur’s Gate 3

    KK will do.

    I would expect System76 to be able to help with this more efficiently than we can, since they sold you the system for use with Linux.

    I will certainly reach out to them, but it hadn’t occurred to me until this post ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      BTW, I edited my comments; you might want to re-read them if you didn’t catch the edits.

      Don’t worry. This seems more like a software setup problem than faulty or weak hardware.

      Good luck!
