Hi, i have a Speedster Swift 319 AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and LACT in nixos shows my graphic is Speedster MERC 319 AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Black.
is this gonna make a problem for me ? or its ok ?
We provide a standard Linux Kernel (default 6.6, up to 6.12) and recent linux-firmware versions. I totally expect it to work with just hardware.graphics.enable = true.

its working but problem is the card model is not same as what i have. i dont know if i take any actions to fix it or its not a problem
The exact vendor model of a certain card has little relevance to begin with and the vendor likely has multiple “different” models that use extremely similar hardware to the point where you can’t tell them apart in software.
So its just a similar hardware and its not gonna make a problem if i use it like this?
Could be a LACT issue but it should be fine otherwise
As far as even the AMDGPU kernel driver is concerned, any 6900 XT model is the same. Even the differences between most Navi21 GPUs are probably marginal at best.
The most significant difference between different GPU vendor SKUs of the same model are things like RGB controls via i2c as that’s mostly vendor-specific but I don’t think that works on Linux anyways.
LACT just passes on what the kernel tells it. This would likely be an “issue” in what the kernel driver return in sysfs.
As I said though, it’s also not unlikely that it’s simply not possible to distinguish these models in software.
