Hey all, I've noticed an issue that's been happening with my rig for a while. My 6750XT is seemingly never at full utilisation, and is usually sitting around %75-%85 or lower, even when struggling to hit 60fps. Most recently this has been happening with Borderlands 4 (horribly optimised, I know) where I'm struggling to get 60 fps on absolute lowest graphics without framegen, when identical rigs are getting much higher.

I'm getting my GPU info from Mangohud and LACT which are both telling me the same thing. The GPU is not getting too hot (sitting at around 70 degrees or less), and not using it's full power draw (often using only 120W out of the max 230W). The CPU is a 5600x which does not appear to be bottlenecking, as no threads are getting above %80.

I've noticed other issues in games such as Vermintide 2, which Mangohud claims is running at 100+ FPS but the game feels like it's running at 30-40 while my GPU is not being fully utilised. This makes me think it could be some DE/compositor issue?

I've tried:

• Changing performance profiles (both in LACT, and KDE power settings)
• Ensuring monitor display is set to 144hz
• Ensuring mesa drivers are updated
• Overclocking GPU in LACT

Would greatly appreciate if someone could shed any light on this. I'm about to pull the trigger on getting a 9060xt in the hopes that I'd see a decent performance increase.

Specs:

OS: Fedora 42 (KDE Plasma spin)
Kernel: 6.16.7-200
GPU: Radeon 6750XT
CPU: AMD 5600X
Display: 3 displays, main display is 1440p Ultrawide 144hz

I'm using Pop! OS kernel version 6.16.3-76061603-generic.
Upon launching AOE2, the initial prelaunch logo graphic shows up, but it just hangs there, eventually freezing steam and the rest of my running apps.
I have tried:
checking integrity
reinstalling
updating to latest kernel version
using several different version of proton
ensuring I have the latest drivers.

it worked as of three days ago. Current launch options:
SKIPINTRO (did nothing)

I'm really stumped! Any ideas?

Im just wondering where i can get a good deal on a 2nd hand laptop online in the usa? by budget is under 300 dollars if possible. I also need a laptop suggestion sense im really bad at figuring out what i want or what to look for and what to stay away from?

I need something with a gpu, i dont care how old, but its got to run some modern linux distro of sorts and be used for everyday tasks. Right now i have a older thinkpad but it has no gpu only intel intergraded graphics so as you can guess i need something better.

Im not sure if this belongs here or if there's a better place to post at?

Contexto: me he descargado Linux mint versión 22.2 por lo q Windows 10 va a dejar el soporte, hice todo el procesos sobre instalar lutris, vulkan, entre otros. Y el problema son esas texturas negras parpadeante en los coches y la bicicleta como pueden ver la ultima imagen

El problema es, q me he instalado Linux mint versión 22.2 por el problema de q Windows 10 dejara el soporte, y me he instalado lutris para ejecutar GTA SA obviamente me lo he descargado en media fire, he intentado varias formas cómo instalar el vulkan, skygfx, silent patch, entre otras y todavía el problema persiste, ves ahí el color negro, son lo párpadeos al igual q la bici parpadea el color negro de la ultima foto, eso puede deberse a un problema de textura, el Windows 10 nunca me dió esos problemas, ya q ha instalar mi linux mint es la primera vez q la uso.

cuando lo descargue por mediafire y ejecute en lutris (es una app q parecía como steam) al principio luego se pone como la rpimera foto antes de meterle cuál quier vainas como fast limit, skygfx y silent patch. y cuando descarge y le metí dos vainas de fast limit y silent patch pa q vaya normal y todavía seguía así y por último descargue skygfx es una vaina q tiene archivo de filtro osea una edición play2, xbox y Mobile. Agarre el de play2 y se puso el como la ultima imagen q publique y me agarró normal sin nada de rayitos q salía eso de la nada (aunque a veces sale esos rayisto de la nada un poco cuando sale a hacer destrucciónes) y ahora lo último es los problemas de textura esas parpadeante de color negro, después de ese problema, me agarro un pensamiento q como se veía dentro de bar de la bebidas, adivina.....salias esos rayos de la nada jajaj no puede ser🥲

otra duda para los q se pregunta, tengo una lapto de lenovo thinkpad q nacio de 2014 (nose q generacion es) un intel inside core i7 vPro y 8gb de ram, saludos desde venezuela.

I have a Linux desktop with Heroic launcher, but with a very limited connection at home.

I have a Windows laptop, and here's my idea:

1. Take laptop to a place with a good connection
2. Install a Windows game via GOG on the laptop
3. Copy the game to Linux when I get home
4. Use Heroic to import it and launch it

Or does Heroic do some critical magic during the install process to make running it possible?

I want to somehow get some heavy Windows games (50+ GB) onto my main gaming box using the tools I have...and I wonder if this would work, or if r/linux_gaming community has any ideas.

Thank you in advance

Im relatively new to Linux. My partner wanted me to switch over from Windows, so I did some months ago.

I've been playing heavy modded fallout 4 and everything has been fine, except for a few days ago.

Im using steam tinker launch on Pop! OS, and when launching fo4 you have several options; "steam tinker launch", "don't ask me again" "exit".

Clicking "don't ask me again" closes out the pop-up windows to get into steam tinker launch and then from there it won't open again. I accidentally clicked that a few days back and found a guide on how to fix it (it was simple as deleting a config file and letting it re-generate next time you open the game). However, now that I can play the game again there's absolutely no sound and tbh i have no idea how to fix it.

I've tried; Launching with different options Validating files Making sure sound was on for my headset/system

Nothing seems to work. Hopefully someone here has had a similar issue and managed to fix it?

(Fwiw I've also tried installing mod organizer 2 and launching through steam. That works but I still get the no sound issue)

Tried this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknight/mods/47

Haven't found any others that don't look like they're from sketchy websites.

I've tried:

• Adding -screen-height 1440 -screen-width 3440 as a launch option(as mentioned in the mod description)
• Various permutations of having steam input enabled or disabled
• Force Compatibility
  • Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (Scout)
  • Proton Experimental
  • Proton 9.0.4

Any ideas?

I’m planning to build a fightstick, but I’m not sure whether the available hardware for assembling one is fully compatible with Linux. I assume it should work, since most devices rely on generic drivers (standard joystick support). However, I haven’t found clear information specifically about fightstick compatibility on Linux, so I’d like to know if anyone has experience using them on this platform. I’m currently running CachyOS, and before investing in building one, I want to make sure I won’t run into compatibility issues.

I've thought it's not possible.
Here are few screenshots showing my 7900xtx getting 4K@120Hz VRR HDR RGB on two different TVs: Samsung and Hisense.
The important part is that it's RGB only achievable on HDMI 2.1 and not YCbCr420 what is possible on HDMI 2.0. No random signal loss (black screens). Just works.

Interestingly, it didn't work well on Windows. I could get 100Hz on Samsung but got image glitching at 120Hz. Hisense couldn't display at all. Maybe handshake problem but can't tell for sure.

Samsung doesn't tell what chroma subsampling is displayed so I took a screenshot of my desktop on HDMI and another one when using the converter. The first one show YCbCr420 and converter show true RGB.

My converter came with the right firmware out of the box so I didn't have to patch it like some other people.

I hope this helps. It's expensive but it does work.

Hello!

My problem is pretty much as the title suggest. I'm playing a game I installed from GOG. If I have my controller connected via USB on startup it will work perfectly fine. If for any reason it disconnects (wire fell out of controller, usb was unplugged, computer was put into sleep mode, etc.) the left and right triggers as well as both joysticks cease to work. I test it on an online game pad tester to confirm. Usually the left stick still registers in this but not in game. I have to restart my computer for it to go back to working properly. It does the same thing if I connect via bluetooth. If I load a game from Steam my controller works perfectly fine. I've tried many different wires and a few different controllers. As far as I am aware I have all drivers updated. Any help is appreciated!

Nothing pops up here on my drive

My linux is shown to be unkown and no other info is displayed

this part seems to be normal

This is from a guide to installing the driver and it already looks different than mine

also in this section there's these info

I was looking at this video (images have description, each of them) guide to installing Nvidia drives, but it had so many steps (even going into the no GUI step to install the drive) i found it confusing and just went to RPM and used their guide instead which in turn resumed to one line of command in terminal, but his in turn resulted in my drive looking different from the guy in the video.

The nvidia site returns that the drive available is 580(something something) already and not 575(something something). Should i reinstall it following his guide? Can I fix problems like screen tearing using the drive i downloaded?

I updated my system with sudo pacman -Syu and now nitro+chiral VN windows show a black screen. Audio plays and I can tell that everything other than outputting an image is working since it makes selection noises whenever I hover over an option.

Is there a way to roll back the update to the previous version?

Trying to run Robocop's GOG version on Lutris, but I keep getting the same error: my device isn't compatible with DirectX 12 / D3D12. Which isn't true, I think. I tried several wine versions, VKD3D versions, both NVAPI 0.8 and 0.9, and a loooot of different dotnet framework versions. The same error every single time. I don't think I've ever struggled to run a game on Linux as much as this one. I see a lot of people that manage to run it even with an nvidia graphics card, so what's the deal?

OS: EndeavourOS

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K (12) @ 4.70 GHz
