AMD Radeon RX 560X Not Detected

The utility is not working on laptop Acer Nitro 5 an515-42g (Vega 8 + AMD Radeon 560x).

I used to have the same problem with the same model of laptop, until I realized I forgot to set it to use the correct gpu by running xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 1 0

Also be sure that you're prefixing anything you'd like to run with the RX560X with DRI_PRIME=1 (For Steam in particular, use that in the launch options, followed by %command% , for some applications, you may have to write it as env DRI_PRIME=1 )

Unfortunately, though, this only works per session. There's a way to get it to do that even after a restart, but I'd have to get back to you on that, as I don't recall myself how to do that.
