Additional context
drm_info.txt
Reproducible for both game window capture and desktop capture
The encoder usage is properly seen when using OBS to record.
This shouldn't be reported here as a bug as its not something that software controls, it's the driver. But I think you should be able to see encoder usage if you run sudo amdgpu_top instead.
Hmm. Thanks, that was it. A bit weird that OBS encoder usage can be seen without root permissions
I dont know what that is about, its not like the encoder itself is running as root so i dunno :p.
The second image shows amdgpu_top --gui
Oh yeah I just realized it. I didn't know that it had a gui option.
