Best AMD Gpu to substitute NVIDIA 1070 - Linux gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 12:24

Hi all,

I want to change my NVIDIA GTX 1070, i had enough with the nvidia proprietary driver with Wayland and i want better performance in general.

I would like to change it with an AMD GPU. Principally i play at 1080p, with a monitor that has a refresh rate of 165hz. It supports freesync.

I will post my spec:

CPU: Intel i5-10600K (12) @ 4.800GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
Memory: 32GB

Principally i want better performance with Linux and gaming in general, so improve FPS at the same resolution.

What do you think i should buy if you were in my position? I don't have a budget in this moment, i would like to understand maybe for medium budget and high budget.

Thanks all in advance for the help :)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 12:10

New Linux gaming rig setup, just wanted to say that Attract Mode is amazing!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 11:12

Lately I've been moving a Windows based gaming setup to Linux. I already had some setup done on a Linux based laptop using Attract Mode + MAME + Dosbox. I really loved it especially for MAME and how cool was to have a video available of any arcade machine under the sun in Attract Mode. But now I added to the mix RPCS3, Ryujinx, and Lutris for modern PC games and boy... was doing it for my kids but have to admit, I'm loving it myself. I guess many people think that gaming in Linux means Steam Deck or simply installing Steam but apart from that there's a huge world of possibilities right now. Next steps I want to accomplish probably to just use wine via some script and then gain full control under the hood, and a portable game setup, I'd like to just plug a sdcard to my system and launch a game.

PS. I using DS4 controllers to play and looks like Bluetooth support has made great improvements too, setting up the controllers was a matter of minutes. Also recently discovered the AntimicroX project (https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox) I was a avid used of ReWASD Windows. Really great times for Linux gaming.

Anyone got alan wake 2 to work without stuttering?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 10:15

The game starts and works without crashes, but the fps fluctuates wildly if I "move the mouse". I'm using mangohud to track the track the fps to make sure I'm not placeboing myself, and mangohud does confirm this. This leads to a very choppy/stuttery experience, unless I stand still (in which case it's a stable ~120 fps).

I have tried all kinds of env var settings, nothing seems to solve this. I have DLSS enabled in the settings, raytracing off, and medium settings.

I have also tried it in windows (I have dual boot), and it works perfectly, and buttery smooth, even on graphics turned to high, and raytracing enabled.

Specs:
4070ti
Ryzen 5600x
Bottles with wine-ge-proton8-26 (but also tried soda 8.0.2)
dxvk 2.3
vkd3d2.3-proton-2.11
dxvk-nvapi-v0.6.4

Steam doesnt want to work with proton.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 09:42

Steam wont launch games using proton, but will launch native linux games. Ive tried to follow a few tutorials to see if Im missing something but couldnt find anything, I also tried to reinstall my whole OS (yes before you ask I did restart steam and reboot my pc). I opened steam through terminal and tried to launch the game and it provided me with this error:

Kubuntu - Installed proprietary nvidias, windows tearing, DE crashes sometimes

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 09:21

I just fresh installed Kubuntu to my PC (dual booting with windows) and after much googling and stack overflow lurking, I cannot figure out why my installation is being funky with my GPU still. Ubuntu drivers seemingly already has installed the best recommended and tested drivers for my 2070 super, but I still see occasional tearing, especially present when its rendering something. On that subject, it renders smoothly I think, all ive had it do is render some shaders as the wallpaper, but it tore like crazy, and it seemingly "crashed"? with a black screen, screens tore a little bit after that. I haven't tried any games or anything yet but from what ive seen I dont expect it to go well. Also, whenever I do soemthing specific in KDE, like make one of my panels floating, the entire DE just craps itself (crashes immediately)

Information of note:

Generic Kernel
Secure Boot
2070 Super
Intel UHD graphics for one of my displays (i7 9700k) (3 displays connected, 1 running at 2k 120, other 2 at 1080 60, one of the 1080/60 displays are on the igpu)

Two seperate drives for dualbooting, windows works fine (rendering, high-perf gaming)
I Let ubuntu-drivers do its thing in the installer liveboot

also, i figured this might help

Updates.xml

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 08:32

I don't know what flair to use to so I used this one. As you all know citra and yuzu are down , I have the installer but citra needs the Updates.xml file from the repo.citra-emu.org which is down. It needs the file to continue , I'm not able to find the file anywhere neither do I know how to recreate it , Does anyone know how or where I can get or create the file.

Home drive inexplicably corrupted

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 08:09

Hey,

yesterday I ran into the unfortunate situation that my home drive got corrupted. This happened after I booted Windows to create a WindowsToGo external SSD drive.

Ever since my Linux (EndeavourOS) refuses to boot, as on boot up the home drive mount times out and the system throws me into a root emergency shell.

In my case the drive in question is sbc.

lsblk -l lists the drive without filesystem and/or UUID (which explains why the mounting fails)

I can run e2fsck on /dev/sdc and it will repair the drive. After repair it will list correctly under lsblk -l with its original UUID as is refererred in /etc/fstab.

In the same session I can verify the drive working again and mount it.

The repair however doesn't stick through a reboot. The filesystem recognition and UUID is gone again, /etc/fstab fails to mount the drive and I need to re-run e2fsck in order to make it accessible.

Some possibly notable e2fsck outputs (loosely translated):

Invalid magic number in super-block

super-block invalid, trying datarecovery blocks

/dev/sdc has not been unmounted properly, forcing check.

That is the loop I am stuck in.

As I type this I will repair the drive one last time and start back it up to prepare a wipe, unless I am missing something that makes e2fsck fixes not stick through a reboot.

The drive ought to be okay, at least SMART looks fine and its Windows analytics claims so, too. So I suspect something got somehow corrupted in not the best of ways.

Terminal says .sh files doesn't exist

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 06:55

Just installed Linux Mint for the first time and I'm trying to install some mods for Darktide. I have everything in the game's directory, and the last step is to enable a file named "handle_darktide_mods.sh" in the terminal. When I try copying and pasting the file path in the terminal, it says there is no .sh file. When I try running the file directly, the terminal pops open fore a split second and closes. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

BG3 Crashing trying to level from 4 to 5. No mods.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 05:46

If anyone could help me out that would be great.

My GF is currently doing a playthrough of BG3 on PC and she is in love as it is her first video game.

However, she has a massive bug where the game crashes every time she tries to level up from 4 to 5. It happens in Vulkan and DX11. Anything that has to do with leveling up a character crashes the game.

Is there anything we can do to try and fix it? Looking through reddit this seems to have been an issue a few months ago, but haven't seen anything since. There are no mods that would mess with the game files.

OS: PopOS LTS

GPU: 3080

CPU: 5900x

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Suuper low FPS on every game I play

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 03:30

I have ubuntu 22.04 and I play fps games like cs2 and rhythm games like osu! but even when I run a not as graphically intense game like osu! i am getting 30 fps on my 3070. I used to run windows and it was at least 400 fps in osu! so I am confused. I have updated my drivers through the update and software center thing and chose the newest one. I feel like its a driver issue but I cant find where to download another driver (why cant they make GeForce Experience for linux ). Also does this for CS2 as well any help would be appreciated.

How hard it is to use Nvidia features on Bazzite?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 03:12

The features I'm talking are: DLSS2-3, Ray Tracing, VRR and HDR

Do I have to enable nvapi manually with every game with proton or something like that?

What is the actual process needed for a gamedev to enable EAC support?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 02:10

Is it really just a "flip a switch" scenario where you just turn something on and it automagically enables EAC support? Im currently trying to talk a gamedev into enabling EAC support for this game. He gave it a shot sometime ago but I have the impression that if I don't give him a step by step tutorial of what to do he won't do it. I linked him the EOS documentation but he just skimmed through it and said he didn't have time he'd look at it another day (which never happened).

Is there a gamedev or someone with actual experience in using EAC with Proton that can give me some pointers I can pass on to this guy?

Moonlight streaming under Linux has a severe performance penalty compared to Windows 11?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. März 2024 - 00:21

Running a dual boot of Pop!_OS and Win 11 on my gaming rig. When streaming via sunshine -> moonlight, I notice a huge discrepancy between the FPS I get on the streaming PC when under Linux. Its at least 20fps less. For example, I was streaming Control to my steam deck in my bedroom the other night and was getting close to 65 to 70 fps while streaming on Pop. Switched to Windows, and the same settings, res and everything else, and was getting upwards of 85 to 90 fps.

Specs are: 7800X3D 32GB DDR5-6000 RTX 3080 10GB

when not streaming, performance is roughly similar between the two despite Linux using Wine. Does anyone know why this may be? I'm thinking it's the shitty nvidia drivers hampering performance on Linux as usual, but wanted to get others takes on the situation or anecdotal experiences doing the same.
