Hogwarts Legacy still using I-gpu despite choosing Dgpu ingame
Anyone here that experienced the same issue but solved it? Haven't found anything online about it tbh. I got the game from EG and been launching it using Heroic Launcher. My Heroic Launcher doesn't have the "Force DGPU" option or similar to that but most games I've tried were using my dgpu anyways
The games I've tried on Heroic Launcher before was Ghost of Tsushima, FF7 Remake and Rebirth and Watch_Dogs. All were using the Dgpu despite the option about forcing it literally not present. Any way to play it on Linux so I don't have to use Windows just to play a game? Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Edit:
Forgor to mention my laptop specs and OS.

Easy system wide / games input lag fix
If anyone is annoyed by significant input lag in the system and in games compared to Windows (in my case, CachyOS on Hyprland), try this. It took me several months to discover this. I don't notice any input latency anymore, I have VXE MAD R+ mouse with 2000hz polling rate.
This is UEFI (Gigabyte Aorus Z490I Ultra in my case). I didn't tested this on Nvidia GPU, but AMD has the same input lag without these settings changed. So you can try it on both Nvidia and AMD. Share your results in the comments and tell if it helped you pls! Picture translation:
Fast boot - Disable (just for test, I don't think it's necessary) Legacy USB support - Disable Port 60/64 Emulation - Disable XHCI Hand-off mode - Disable C-State control - Disable
(the guide isn't mine, but my friend's; he asked me to post this here)

POE2 Performance Help - Optiscaler/Lossless Scaling
Any tips to improving performance for POE2 on linux?
I'm certain its not a user issue, affects amd gpus more likely but not limited to and possibly related to directx12.
There is a linux port of lossless scaling (lsfg-vk) and was wondering if that would be better as a replacement or to work alongside optiscaler?
I have optiscaler installed but for poe2 it doesnt seem to offer anything meaningful for performance but I know my GPU should be performing a lot better than it does.
protondb info is poor - outdated or deprecated/obsolete env vars.
System: CachyOS niri 9800X3D CPU 9070 XT Hellhound GPU Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB RAM and is running System is fully up-to-date
I've tried different proton versions, switching between vulkan dlss and fsr etc, countless game launch options, env vars etc so really am open to all ideas

Old games render off screen
I've tried:
- running it full screen
- running it windowed
- enable scaling in gamescope
It's running in Wine GE 8.26 in Heroic.
The cursor is working but I can't click on anything (only highlight things then press Enter). The game on the screenshot is Dracula: The Resurrection (installed from GOG), but I've had this issue with other games too.

Windows VM on a Second GPU?
Hi, I want to know If I could play games that don't run on Linux via my old GPU on a Windows VM?
Gemini told me I need a second GPU to play games on a VM and iam upgrading now anyways so I have 2 gpus.
Is 750Watts enough also if I upgrade my CPU later?
(I know my build is very unbalanced, I plan to upgrade the rest when ddr5 ram gets cheaper, if that ever happens 🥲)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core
New GPU: RX 9070 XT Asus prime oc 16gb
G.Skill RipJaws V DIMM DDR4 16gb (2x8)
Samsung SSD 970 Evo 500g
Mainboard: B450 Gaming X
CORSAIR RM750e (2025) power supply 750Watts
Old GPU: Radeon Rx 580 series (8 GB)

Discord Patch Notes: May 4, 2026
Linux specific patch notes
- Are you a Linux user? If so, are you sick of that lovely modal we made to tell you that there’s an update you need to go manually install? IF SO, boy do I have good news for you. We’ve ported our Rust-based updater to Linux, allowing Linux to update itself just like on Windows. Additionally, we now support .rpm and .pkg.tar.zst package formats for installation.
- Fixed a bug on Desktop where the window control buttons in the title bar had extra padding on the right on Linux. Our second monthly Linux fix; good job team.
