[Guide] Getting Path of Exile(DX11) to run smoothly on Linux

Do I have to do this if I use amdgpu-pro or amdgpu from AMD?

AMD-AMDGPU

  1. Kernel configuration:
  • In /usr/src/linux/.config
    change CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU
    on m
    .
  • In /usr/src/linux/.config
    change DRM_AMDGPU_SI
    OR DRM_AMDGPU_CIK
    on y
    .
  • Changing grub might also be required in /etc/default/grub
    add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1
    OR GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1
    . To enable experimental support for radeon SI or CIK.
  • Recompile the kernel and make sure that correct kernel is selected.
  1. Make.conf configuration:
  • Add USE="vulkan"
    to /etc/portage/make.conf
    .
  • Add media-libs/vulkan-loader layers
    to /etc/portage/package.use/custom
    if required.
  • Add VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeonsi"
    or VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeoncik"
    to /etc/portage/make.conf
    .
  1. Emerge required packages using emerge --ask media-libs/vulkan-loader sys-kernel/linux-firmware
    .
  • Depending on the configuration media-libs/mesa
    may also be required.
  1. Check the functionality using dev-util/vulkan-tools
    with vulkan-info
    USE flag.
