Yamakasi Catleap overclock on linux (RX580 amdgpu)
Posted: 17 Jan 2019, 14:46
Hello everyone, I have searched your forums (which are a great resource by the way) but I can't see anything about this.
It's a bit of a longshot but I am running Ubuntu 18.10 on my main machine and play games on steam, really only Rocket League.
I have a Yamakasi Catleap monitor which historically I can push to about 2560x1440 @ 110hz without any artifacts.
Up until recently I had a R9 280x gpu and set a custom refresh rate of 96hz via xrandr, everything worked well and smooth and I was happy, but the frames weren't that good at 2560x1440.
I have just upgraded to a 580X 8gb AMD card and I thought it would be as easy as using the same xrandr command, but whenever I try to apply that refresh rate to DVI-D-0 I get an error of "Configure crtc 0 failed". I just can't seem to push past 60hz on this card.
I've tried various things, like setting custom EDID in xorg.conf and using a hacked EDID which is supposed to advertise 96hz as a valid refresh rate but it doesn't seem to apply at all.
I'm a bit down in the rabbit hole at the moment and 60hz just feels like dogshit to me, so I am desperately hoping there's someone else on this forum with a similar setup that can give me some advice
The alternative is installing Windows but I get shivers when I entertain that thought so I'd like to get this working if possible.
