Abstract: Normal residual finiteness growth measures how well a finitely generated group is approximated by its finite quotients. We show that any linear group $Gammaleqmathrm{GL}_d(K)$ has normal residual finiteness growth asymptotically bounded above by $(nlogn{)}^{d^2-1}$; notably this bound depends only on the degree of linearity of $Gamma$. We also give precise asymptotics in the case that $Gamma$ is a subgroup of a higher rank Chevalley group $G$ and compute the non-normal residual finiteness growth in these cases. In particular, finite index subgroups of $G(mathbbZ)$ and $G(mathbb{F}_p[t])$ have normal residual finiteness growth $n^{dim(G)}.$
