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

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

RAM: 32GB DDR4

Hi folks--I'm trying to get HDR working on Quake II RTX and I'm having zero luck. No matter what I've tried, I get the same message when attempting to enable HDR in game: HDR was requested but no supported surface format was found.

Hardware

• Graphics: Nvidia RTX 5090 FE
• Monitor: LG 45GX950A

Software

• Arch Linux
• Driver: nvidia-open 580.82.09-2
• Desktop 1: Gnome 48
• Desktop 2; Hyprland

As noted above, I cannot get HDR in game to work on either Gnome or Hyprland which are both correctly configured for HDR and I can confirm on my monitor that they are sending HDR signals.

Some steps I've taken include:

I've followed the wiki including installing vk-hdr-layer-kwin6-git.

I have tried both the Steam version of Quake II RTX and the native version.

I have tried Proton Experimental as well as proton-ge-custom with the Steam version.

I've tried various environment variables (and various combinations):

Steam version: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

Native version: ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland quake2rtx

Any troubleshooting help / suggestions would be appreciated!

I noticed a few months ago many of my compatibility mode games on Steam stopped working at almost the same time. Some of them I can get working again by rolling back to an older version of Proton. Most of them failed silently without any error message, but Desynced complained about not having a D3D11 feature available (Feature set 11.0, Shader mode 5.0). I run an updated Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon distro, which shows Mesa 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.3 as the Mesa driver for my AMD RX6750XT graphics card. I'm guessing I need a newer Mesa to go with the newer Proton updates (?), but the neither the driver manager or package manager is giving me newer options. Some research indicates that there's a PPA to add for the newest drivers but reading between the lines, it sounds a little risky. I'm asking myself, if the newer drivers were stable with Mint 21, why aren't they offered as an upgrade in the standard repository? Has anyone with a similar setup tried the drivers from the Kisak PPA? Thanks.

i got the game runnins bu =t wanted to optimize ore=formanxe so changed ny proton verson a few tiems and now im getting a error messege when launchign sayiing

Currently your game purchase cannot be re-validated successfully, please wait 24 hours and try again.

my question is will it actiully work after 24 hrs or am i screwed and should i ask for a refund

Introduction

After trying Linux gaming 1.5 years ago, I returned to Windows for one reason: MSI Afterburner. However, with the emergence of new tools, I decided to give Linux another shot.

Having successfully tuned my GPU, I want to share my step-by-step process and explain the reasoning behind each decision.

My System Specifications

Hardware:

• Intel i7-12700K (no OC)
• 32GB DDR4 4400MHz RAM
• MSI RTX 3080 Ventus 10GB
• 3440x1440p monitor

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 with GNOME on X11

Understanding the MSI RTX 3080 Ventus 10GB Limitations

This GPU faces significant thermal and power throttling during gaming:

• Power limit: The 320W cap is consistently reached (this is a hardware limitation, not just software)
• Temperature throttling: Frequently occurs depending on the game's demands

These constraints make traditional overclocking ineffective since there's no power or thermal headroom. The only viable approach is undervolting to create the necessary margin.

However, undervolting reduces stability, making the combination of undervolting and overclocking challenging or sometimes impossible due to silicon lottery variations.

Project Goals

Based on these limitations, my objectives were:

• Reduce power consumption through GPU core undervolting (leaving VRAM untouched)
• Maintain performance levels
• Improve stability by preventing thermal/power throttling

The Solution: LACT

I used LACT (Linux AMDGPU Control Tool), which provides excellent GPU tuning capabilities with comprehensive metrics and historical data.

Understanding GPU Voltage/Frequency Relationships

While LACT doesn't expose direct undervolting features, this isn't necessary once you understand how modern GPUs manage voltage and frequency:

• Frequency scaling: Under full load, the GPU maximizes frequency by increasing in 15MHz steps until hitting power/thermal limits
• Voltage steps: Each frequency range corresponds to a voltage level (approximately 6mV steps on my GPU)
• Power consumption:
  • Linear relationship with frequency (10% higher frequency = 10% more power)
  • Quadratic relationship with voltage (10% higher voltage = 21% more power: 1.10² = 1.21)

Our strategy involves maintaining stock maximum frequency while reducing voltage through:

1. Frequency capping at our target
2. Clock offset adjustment in the frequency/voltage curve

Step-by-Step Process Step 1: Optimize Cooling

First, maximize cooling by setting fans to 100% in LACT's Thermals section:

• Select Static mode
• Set speed to 100%

Note: You can configure a custom fan curve later

Step 2: Configure Monitoring

In the OC section:

1. Click "Show historical charts"
2. Edit charts to retain 300 seconds of data
3. Add a GPU voltage graph for monitoring

Step 3: Baseline Testing

Use a consistent stress test - I recommend the Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool (free on Steam).

Benchmark settings:

• Preset: Ultra (tests rasterization cores)
• Ray Tracing: Low (tests RT cores without bottlenecking)
• DLSS: Balanced (tests Tensor cores)
• Enable benchmark loop for continuous testing

After several loops to stabilize temperatures/voltages/frequencies, note the stable frequency (not peak values). Mine stabilized at 1935 MHz.

Step 4: Apply Undervolting

With the benchmark running and LACT visible (use "always on top"):

1. In OC section, enable "GPU Locked Clocks"
2. Set Maximum GPU Clock to your noted stable frequency (1935 MHz for me)
3. Click Apply, then Yes

Step 5: Find Optimal Offset

Gradually increase GPU P-State 0 Clock Offset:

1. Start with +20MHz increments
2. Test stability with multiple benchmark loops (patience is key!)
3. When crashes occur, reduce by 20MHz from the last stable setting
4. Run extended stability tests with low graphics settings and high framerates
5. Fine-tune in +5MHz increments

Important: Undervolting won't damage your hardware - we're not increasing voltages above stock levels.

My final stable value: +115MHz offset

Step 6: Final Validation

Before considering the process complete:

• Run extended benchmarks (20+ minutes)
• Test various games
• Stress different GPU components

Once satisfied, restore automatic fan speeds or configure your preferred fan curve.

Performance Results

Here are my before/after comparisons:

Black Myth: Wukong - Ultra + RT Low + DLSS Balanced Metric Original After Undervolting Change Average FPS 36 37 +2.8% High FPS 45 45 0% Low FPS 21 28 +33% Low 5% FPS 31 32 +3.2% Peak Temperature 74°C 70°C -4°C Peak Power 316W 294W -22W Peak Clock 1965MHz 1935MHz -30MHz Peak Voltage 1068mV 937mV -131mV Black Myth: Wukong - Low + RT Off + DLSS Balanced Metric Original After Undervolting Change Average FPS 114 115 +0.9% High FPS 135 133 -1.5% Low FPS 78 83 +6.4% Low 5% FPS 104 104 0% Peak Temperature 77°C 71°C -6°C Peak Power 317W 293W -24W Peak Clock 1950MHz 1935MHz -15MHz Peak Voltage 1062mV 937mV -125mV

Additional Testing - Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultra:

• Original: 63 FPS
• After undervolting: 65 FPS (+3.2%)

Key Benefits Achieved

• Performance: Equal or slightly improved across all tests
• Stability: Complete elimination of throttling with perfectly stable frequencies
• Efficiency: 7.5% reduction in power consumption (~25W savings)
• Thermals: 7.8% reduction in GPU temperature (~6°C improvement)

These improvements enable quieter fan operation and reduced room heating.

Advanced Optimization (Optional)

For those seeking maximum performance:

1. Increase Maximum GPU Clock by +15MHz
2. Test stability with extended benchmarks
3. If unstable, decrease Clock Offset until stable or you reach power limit
4. Repeat the process incrementally

I tested 1980MHz on my system but found minimal performance gains with maximum power consumption and returning throttling, so I maintained the "economical" configuration.

Conclusion

This undervolting approach successfully achieved all objectives: maintaining performance while significantly improving efficiency and stability. The process requires patience but delivers meaningful improvements for Linux gaming.

I hope this guide helps others optimize their GPU performance. Feel free to share questions, suggestions, or additional tips!

I’ve heard some people love the sunshine/moonlight experience for streaming games to the deck but I had some troubles getting this to work in a nice way - presumably because I’m running Ubuntu.

I wanted the stream to be in the deck’s resolution and so I attempted a virtual monitor (xephyr) launched by a sunshine app.

I got something working after some iterations of vibe-coding but havn’t been able to replicate my success with BG3 for example. Has anyone else had more success with this?
