UPDATE: I looked into optimus-manager further, it seemed to be broken somehow. I decided to update it to latest git, so I hope this was the problem but I can't know for sure

I've been playing minecraft the last few days and everything has been running fine. Just now my laptop's fans started absolutely going ham (they haven't done this in the 2-3 days I've been playing), I didn't think too much of it, but decided to check htop anyway. Only thing of note I saw there is that one thread was at 100% cpu, but I didn't think that to be all that strange. I then remembered `nvidia-smi` was a thing and decided to check that. I got this horrifying report:

nvidia-smi Sat Apr 27 15:38:25 2024 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 550.76 Driver Version: 550.76 CUDA Version: 12.4 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M | Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC | | Fan Temp Perf Pwr:Usage/Cap | Memory-Usage | GPU-Util Compute M. | | . | | MIG M. | =========================================+========================+================= | 0 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ... Off | 00000000:01:00.0 Off | N/A | | N/A 40C P0 751W / 80W | 1MiB / 8192MiB |0% Default | | | | N/A | +-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+

To explain (because the formatting will probably fuck everything up), it's reporting 751W / 80W usage, almost 10x the limit. I did nvidia-smi again, and it reported a pretty normal 23W seconds later (I assume because I didn't have minecraft on screen anymore). Because of the normal value I assumed (and sorta hoped) that it was just an erroneous detection, but after a couple minutes (keeping minecraft open mind you), `htop` wasn't showing any cooldown, in fact now my CPUs were 99 degrees. I did `nvidia-smi` again to strangely get the exact same 751W power usage. I decided this was a little too strange, shut down minecraft and within seconds my CPUs cooled down.

Interesting detail to note, the air coming out of my laptop throughout this entire ordeal didn't feel scorching hot, it felt warm, but not blazing.

The only thing that I changed since yesterday is that I updated my nvidia drivers (to 550.76 proprietary drivers), and did a pretty large system upgrade in general (all to the latest on arch linux). Although playing for probably 2-3 hours before this everything worked fine.

My laptop specs as reported by neofetch are:

• Arch linux x86_64
• Kernel: 6.8.7-zen1-2-zen
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H
• GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU
• Memory: 32 gigs

I use optimus-manager to deal with power management so that may be relevant, also I have not overclocked my GPU. Additional potentially relevant details are that I was playing Minecraft through the modrinth-app (launcher) with Sodium and Lithium (minecraft optimization mods) installed.

Another weird detail I just happened to notice, when running `vkmark -p fifo` I always used to have 165fps (my screens limit) by now that's shot up to ~1700 fps, so I guess vsync got turned off somewhere (no clue where, I didn't touch anything).

Is this a common issue? Is it even an issue or just bad reporting by nvidia-smi (and by extension htop saying my temps are 99 degrees)? Is there a fix? I don't really know where to start looking, any help is appreciated!

Early this year, i have install EndeavourOS. Good OS imo but with NVidia GPU it was pretty rough. Now i have upgraded my PC : R7 5800x3D RX7900 GRE and 32gb RAM. Games runs really great but AMD Driver in Windows is not that great right now. Still a lot of issues not solved and in my case the biggest issue is the frametimes spikes i got in some DX11 games. I tried DXVK in games like Kingdom Come Delivrance but nothing change. I think it's about Shader compilation but i wonder if on Linux games will run better with Vulkan Pre-compile shader.

What should i do? Is experience with AMD specs in Linux is great?

So, while end of support for windows 10 is next year october, I'm constantly thinking about switching to Linux. I've been told Pop!_OS and Regata is good for gaming. How exactly, I don't know, because my knowledge on Linux is extremely limited.

What I want to know though, is because I play the game Elsword that will not launch without its Gameguard, as some other older MMORPGs still work this way, Linux would stop this naturally, but is there something out there yet that finally fixes this issue?

I'm a Fedora fan, but I'm not happy with its stock gaming experience. I'm looking for a distro with cutting-edge gaming features, like the latest kernel and nvidia drivers. I came across Nobara and Bazzite. Which one would you guys recommend? Give me your opinion.

Was prompted through game mode to update my system a couple days ago, since then game mode has completely stopped working on my desktop. Boot up takes longer and goes directly to the desktop, since game mode is failing, and the “return to game mode” option on the desktop also fails - it shuts down steam and fades to black before snapping back to the desktop.

Does the voice recognition work nowadays?

On ProtonDB are contradictory reports https://www.protondb.com/app/1562420.

The new open source Nvidia driver was Called Nova developed from RedHat

But NVK is also developed by RedHat so.. I'm not understanding something i guess

NVK: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/nvk-has-landed.html

"This is the culmination of over a year of work by myself (Faith Ekstrand) as well as Karol Herbst and Dave Airlie at Red Hat"

I've got a bit of a strange issue the past few days. All my Steam games suffer from really choppy performance upon initial boot. Mangohud displays 0fps and frametimes flickering between 3.7ms and 29.8ms. However, if I boot a game through Heroic and then go back to a Steam game it runs perfectly. Any idea what the hell is going on here? Also this only seems to happen with Wayland. X11 everything works fine straight away.

I'm using a 5700XT with Mesa 24.0.3.

Hello! Thought I'd make a post about this since I haven't been able to find much online about it. My specs will be towards the bottom of the post!

Recently made the swap to linux. I picked up Fallout 76 on steam, And it's been running great through Proton. But my issue with it is that even though there is a way to un-cap the fps limit. I can't seem to figure out how. I've messed around with the game config files trying to turn vsync off and the such. And went through a few settings under the nvidia settings window but it doesn't seem like it will go above 60 fps. And adding onto this, My monitor does support 144hz. Any help is very much appreciated!

[My specs]

Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

CPU - Ryzen 5 5600

GPU - RTX 3060 12GB

RAM - 16GB

If I need to add anything else please do let me know, I'm still very new to linux so I'm kinda learning as I go.

Hello,

Sorry if this is silly question. I have recently switched from windows to Ubuntu 24.04 and I am trying to play RDR2 on this system through steam. System Information is as following :

• Operating System : Ubuntu 24.04
• Kernel Version : Linux 6.8.0-31-generic
• CPU : AMD Ryzen™ 7 6800H
• GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3060 Laptop GPU
• Driver : NVIDIA 535.171.04

I am trying to run it through Proton Experimental and I have tried to follow steps given in protondb sites. The issue I am facing is that rockstar game launcher will keep loading and after some time it will say another instance of Red Dead Online is already running and then it will close.

Any idea how to fix this ? Please let me know if it is right subreddit for this or where should I ask about it.

Was watching this comparison video between Windows and Linux. Windows is generating a lot more FPS than Linux, but it looks to me like it's stuttering more a lot more too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyyw2OhHODY

Maybe this was just a weird fluke?

headset mic and headphones are both seen as the same input when using surround 5.1 output + input and gives rapid extremely loud clicking sound, like as fast as mc drag clickers speed.... idk how else to explain it, but they are seen as separate devices on analog stereo output + mono input and has no issue, but i need surround cause i play games like cs

no its not wireless

no its not 3.5, its usb

im new to linux so idk what im doing so i need the explanations to where a baby can understand it and i can copy paste needed stuff if i have to do anything in terminal

Running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Hardware

- Ryzen 7 5800X

- NVidea 2070 Super

- Gigabyte AX370 Mobo

- 32GB DDR4 @ 3200

​

I am new to this, I am trying to make the transition from Windows to Linux/Ubuntu

​

So, I have have been scouring threads online trying to solve this issue before creating a new one. I have tried a few things with .asoundrc and asound.conf to no avail. Audio works in general. I can open up Firefox, go to YouTube, and it works. I open up PulseAudio Volume Control, there isn't even a stream for the game I am trying to open.

Weird things that may be indirectly causing issues:
- I have my games loaded onto a pair of striped BTRFS disk in Raid0, I would like to keep this for speed since they are hard disk, and to not have to re-redownload 1.2TB of games, but will do what I must.
- Steam will not recognize these drives unless I run it as root. ```sudo steam``` does not work, I must do ```sudo su``` then ```steam```.

- Primarily running with Proton Experimental, but no luck with Proton 8.0 either. Both of those are on the main disk in ```/```, so are Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) and the Steamworks Common Redistributables.

​

Any help is appreciated, thank you for your time.

Has anyone else managed to get Infection Free Zone to run? It installs for me just fine but when I try to launch the game in Steam I get an error about needing DirectX 11. I have other games that need DirectX 11 that run just fine. Any ideas?
