How much of a performance loss is there for a 1660 Ti on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 10:32

I'm getting increasingly disappointed with Microsoft, so I'm considering switching to Linux. However it seems like NVIDIA graphics cards has a performance loss issue on Linux.

My graphics card is a 1660 Ti. I mostly play AAA games on consoles, and the games I play on PC are mainly for emulation, indie games, games that require mods, etc. So I have no problem using this card, but since it is an old GPU, it would probably be difficult to switching Linux if the performance loss is severe.

If I use Linux on a PC with a 1660 Ti, how much performance loss will there be compared to Windows?

Using CachyOS want to switch to a non-Arch gaming distro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 08:30

Been using it for almost 2 months, but i have fear of it breaking, i don't want to use btrfs for snapshots, i'm good with ext4, i also use it for work and coding, so i'm thinking of switching to Nobara or Bazzite, what do you say, i'm loyal to KDE btw.

Nobara or Bazzite, what do you recommend?

Best Fps limiter

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 07:22

I was wondering what everyone uses as an FPS limiter. Frame times should be the priority. I tried MangoHud, but that gave me weird stutter in Diablo 4, so now I use the in-game limiter. So from my understanding, the 3 ways are MangoHud, Gamescope, or in-game. So what do you prefer? I have an NVIDIA RTX 5080 if that makes a difference.

CPU usage spikes with GameSir controllers when I move the sticks while playing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 02:47

Hello everyone.

I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem with my GameSir controllers (T4Kaleid and Cyclone 2). The problem is this:

When I'm in a game (so far I've tried Resident Evil 5 and Overwatch, running with Proton from Steam), using the analog sticks causes CPU usage to spike around 10-20% more (in overwatch for example go from 20% to 35-40% in main menu when move the sticks quickly in circles), which ruins my gaming experience.

Apparently, this only happens with the GameSir controllers when they're in XInput mode, wired or wireless (2.4ghz dongle).

My specs are:

RTX 3060

i7 7700 7th generation

32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM

1TB BTRFS SS

Nvidia Bazzite Desktop Edition (updated).

If you need any further information, please let me know.

I would appreciate any help or if anyone has experienced something similar.

Best way to dual-boot windows to play a SPECIFIC GAME?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 02:35

I want to migrate to Linux, BUT, my i7 4790k cannot handle Helldivers 2 without Frame Gen (yes, i know a lot about FG, i know it's bottlenecking my RTX 4060 to the sky, no need to pin that down please). What I am asking IS, what is the best/lightest way to install Win11 in another partition? I just need Win11, Discord and NVIDIA drivers, that's ALL. My SSD only has 240GB, so the more i can debload / make it light, the better it is for me. Thanks in advance!!
