There are some bugs with recent kernels and 6XXX cards. Try kernel 6.5.X and also look at the workarounds here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1500
In addition, make sure "Above 4G decoding" is enabled in BIOS/UEFI so you get resize rebar support.
Beyond that, make sure you're using mesa (and not amdvlk) and that's it a version from this year at least (23.X.X)
Resize Rebar was something that was previously switched off I discovered. Turning this on via the Asus EZ Tuner made a great difference. Found im still on a Mesa 22.x driver for some reason, despite running latest driver update, and my kernal is showing 5.15.x, despite having all OS updates installed.. will need to investigate, perhaps a Mint issue. Thanks!
5.15.X is the previous LTS kernel. Probably the default when you installed it. I don't use Mint but you should be able to use 6.1.X at the least (the current LTS kernel).
