I saw someone proposing adding per-point V/F curve editing to LACT using undocumented NvAPI. The provided code mostly worked, though I had to correct some strides and offsets for the structs to get it running smoothly.

So, I coded up a more robust backend and a web GUI to do MSI Afterburner-style curve editing. Been testing the undervolting curve on my RTX 5090, and it seems to be working pretty well ( image 1)

Though, there doesn't seem to be a massive power draw difference (even though idle clock is way lower) compared to a LACT "pseudo-undervolt" using a global offset (image 3), at least for my GPU.

Code & Guide: https://github.com/ekojsalim/nvcurve

I’ve only verified this on my personal rig. It could work on other GPUs and systems, but please try this at your own risk! If you decide to test it out, please read the getting-started section in the repo for a quick way to verify things first.

hi guys i manged to run devil may cry 5 with fsr4 on the steam deck using REFramework mod and optiscaler mod then i tried something out i tweaked the config file from dx12 to dx11 and booted the game on desktop mode . optiscaler and reframwork stopped working but i noticed something shocking !

the game looked 500% better on desktop after dx11 tweak .
based on the build ingame upscalling option only no fsr no dlss the difference ia so huge it looked like a different game .

i went back to gaming mode with the same settings and it went back to waterdown version of itself with somewhat blurry textures .

what causing this phenomenon ? and how do i trick the game to render on gaming mode like it does on desktop mode ?

I'm really considering switching my laptop's operating system to Linux because it's a low-performance laptop, but I've heard that multiplayer games that use Easy Anti-Cheat don't work on Linux. Is that true? And if so, is there any way to fix it?

As the title suggests, has anyone able to use the function on a Linux Distro? for me when i click on the purchase button it loads then goes back to the BP. Im quite new to this OS. I am using Bazzite if a question pops up about it.

Using Heroic Launcher / Epic store to launch the game and play it.

to whom it may concern, as im tired of getting redirected to other subs only to get ignored and posts deleted for "ignoring guidelines", I JUST WANT HELP

I have officially defected from windows to Nobara official. The main troubles Im having are drivers for game capture and Multi RTMP by SoraYuki. Im not an expert as Im new to Linux (just spent an entire day trying to learn how to tweak games to work properly) but Im not seeing a way to get these things to work anywhere on the forums. I got the capture card because it was the only card that could capture console gameplay at 4k 60 with no issues even though I knew it wouldn't be Linux compatible. But I did originally run the card through the OBS plugin instead of the app, so Im thinking there could be a loop-hole somewhere? Multi RTMP seems simple enough as the way i saw it used on windows was less of an app and more of an actual plugin so I figure it would be easy to install... but again Im struggling to find a flatpack version because the default is a windows .exe instead of flatpack.

So I did some research on different package managers as I just recently transitioned to linux from Windows and the first thing that got my attention are package managers like APT, pacman, XBPS etc.

From what I learned, they are basically app stores that u can download your applications from. Unlike Windows and Mac where u download the applications on the website itself, you complie the packages and install them into your system.

So whats the benefit of doing this instead of just downloading the web version like Windows?

And people have also shared different opinions about different package managers, Debian APT being more stable than Arch pacman and Aur and Xpbs being super fast and lean. I am currently using cachy os and I don't really see any stability issues. Also being stable like APT means, your software wont be updated often?

Imagine you have to choose one Linux distro to use for the rest of your life. The catch is that you can never perform a clean installation from an ISO again. If the project evolves, you update or rebase, but if development ceases, you’re simply stuck with that final state forever. This single OS must run on every PC you own, from your main gaming rig and HTPC to your Steam Deck (excluding only mobile and smart ecosystems like Android or WebOS). No more distro-hopping; just one environment to maintain until the end.

I suspect my choice would be a community-maintained project with a long track record like Debian or Arch, but I genuinely have many doubts about which one would actually be the safest bet for the long haul. I know this is the ultimate r/DistroHopping question, but I’m posting it here because I’m specifically interested in the perspective of the gaming community regarding long-term reliability and hardware support. I'm very curious to see your thoughts.

Steam was running entirely fine yesterday, until it crashed while i was play sts 2. My computer froze and i had to shut her down, and after that steam has been refusing to run, only showing this message. Im on Ubuntu 24.04.3. I've had steam for years on this laptop and it is only now that it stopped working. I tried googling for similar issues, but they all seemed to be with recent installations of Steam, not it suddenly ceasing to work, and none of them seemed to have these specific libraries missing

So i riced hyprland on omarchy with some random waybar i found, and then this happened with steam.

It looks really good since my whole system is made to fit the gruvbox theme, but it disappeared after an update and idk how to get it back. Any ideas?

Im looking for a soundboard that works with Team Fortress 2.

I tried Soundux and some tinkering with Helvum but ultimately ran into the issue that, try as I might, my microphone was broadcasting ALL audio, not just the one from the Soundux app. Soundux allows you to select an application through which to send sound but it can only detect Team Fortress 2 when I am holding down the push-to-talk button ingame. Also Soundux is abandoned judging by the GitHub page...

Can anyone recommend a good soundboard app?
