Yeah. Valve Index.
I originally got it working on a Ryzen 1700, and Vega64. But Vega64 is old GCN architecture and it performed poorly.
I have since upgraded the VR setup to Ryzen 5950x and Radeon 6900xt, and it works quite well. I just played an hour of Beat Saber actually.
That's very close to my setup of Valve Index, Ryzen 5700X and Radeon 6900XT. Maybe I should spend some more time investigating it.
Is your issue getting it to start at all, or performance issues?
For me it wouldnt start at all in the default big picture mode and would only start in desktop mode.
I made a few tweaks to get performance tuned up when I was on the Vega64, but I don't remember what all I did there.
edit: Also, I'm the KDE desktop (i wanted my HTPC/VRPC to be as steamdeck similar as possible, and also I have strong anti gnome feelings).
