Hi all!

I know that AMD has software for controlling RGB on Windows. I found some old threads where someone suggested disconnecting the LEDs themselves, which is not something I’m willing to do with my 2-day old card.

I also would love not having to switch to Windows just to turn the bloody RGB off.

I’ve never used OpenRGB and I don’t quite understand their compatibility guide for the 9070, so I’m not sure if it’s doable there.

So! Does anyone here have that card and was able to disable RGB on Linux?

As a sidenote: I just realised that my OS sees two GPUss - the dGPU and the iGPU. Is there a way I can turn iGPU off so that it doesn’t get in the way?

Any help appreciated!

Oh, I should probably mention - I’m on:

OS Garuda Linux x86_64
├ Kernel Linux 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen
├ Packages 1366 (pacman)[stable]
├ Shell fish 4.0.1

    Fiddle with OpenRGB and see if it works. If it doesn’t, check if there’s any open issues for your model of card - you might be able to aid testing, and if you’re likely, someone might have already made a branch that hasn’t been merged yet. That was the case with my keyboard.

    Googling it, some might also have support for using hooking to the motherboard RGB header instead of internal controls.
