GTX1650 mobile on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Jun 2025 - 12:12pm

I have a GTX 1650 on my laptop.

Some time ago I installed Linux mint 21 on my laptop! I've always been attracted to Linux, but I also wanted to play on it. I updated the drivers to the “Recommended” ones from Nvidia itself and installed Minecraft first, but Linux performed terribly in this game. At first, it took me a long time to get the game to work with the video card and not the built-in graphics, and even when I did, the game lagged a lot even when it showed me 60 stable fps.

What could I do? Does it make sense to install Linux with an Nvidia video card?

Maybe I need to change the Linux? I would really like to see Linux performance not losing to Windows

UPD: I'm thinking about trying CachyOS. What do you think about it? I already had some experience with Arch Linux.

I'm also still worried about using a video card in games. I have two GPUs: Intel and my own gtx1650 mobile I had a problem with using the gtx1650 in minecraft because for some reason to use it I had to reboot the laptop completely and it seemed strange to me because in windows there was no such need :( . It was also difficult because I used sklaucher and this is not the official minecraft launcher

Driver OCing rtx 3090 by default?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Jun 2025 - 11:56am

So for a while I had issues with games crashing soon after launching or anything intense happening. For example I’d open world of Warcraft and the menus would start glitching and then KDE would collapse and crash the system.

The only fix I found was to hard cap the gpu clock from going higher then 1950ish. Or increasing its power from default to max. Haven’t really tested enough just increasing its power limit to max but not looking to OC right now since summers in gear.

What would cause this to happen? This started happening around the beginning of the year. Is it a change with drivers? KDE? The Linux kernel?

What's up with my Steam Launcher?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Jun 2025 - 11:55am

So for a few weeks now my Steam Launcher is doing some weird stuff. Sometimes it works just fine, but sometimes when I have it open for a while and at some point come back to it it's like super slow and unresponsive and when I start a game it works just fine but after a couple of minutes steam just opens some popups either about an update to some gamepad drivers (I don't have any connected) or the "add non-steam game to your library" dialog or just the "steam is shutting down" thing. At any case the main steam window is blurred out (like when steam would actually be shutting down) but it never actually shuts down or restarts or anything. I can click on the icon in the systray and start any game from there which works fine or I can close steam from there and restart it. Most of the times this happens when steam is open in the background for a while (like 30 minutes+) but I also had it happen when I just started steam and launched a game.

I'm on Arch Linux (btw). I tried removing steam and reinstalling it but it didn't really do anything (all the logins and everything was still saved so I guess I need to remove everything from it to get a clean install?).

Has anyone experienced similar? Or does anyone know where steam keeps all it's files (logins, caches, ...) so I can try to remove everything and get a clean install?

I use my PC for a lot more than gaming (mostly dev work) and I love my overall setup and although I have all my dotfiles saved in a git repo I'd rather not reinstall my whole system just because steam does weird stuff because the rest of my system is kept pretty clean and works just fine.

Some games on kde wayland lock fps to 35 and have no resolution option

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Jun 2025 - 10:20am

Hi,

I do have this problem with some games, most importantly with oblivion remastered, is that on wayland the fps is for some reason locked at 35fps and I cannot change the resolution. It only shows my monitors resolution, even changing to bordereless or windowd doesn't help as it stays fullscreen with the same locked fps.

X11 works just fine, but I want to stream games through sunshine omw to work, but on x11 for some reason, the nvFBC capture method cannot detach after game launch so when I pause the stream to switch trains for e.g., it doesn't give me video and then times out lol, other capture methods tank performance. wayland works fine in this case, but it seems like a sunshine bug that can't do much about.

In oblivion remastered case, I use a wine-tkg, based on the latest wine staging, compiled myself through lutris. interestingly, it used to give me all the options and fps when I switched to proton-ge 10.3, but even that is broken now locked up at 24fps and no resolution option

Other games through proton and wine-proton builds seem to work fine, but all system wine and wine-tkg and some other wine options trhough lutris seem to give me the issues.

Tried using gamescop, but either gamescope through lutris options is broken and doesn't launch the game, or even if lutris is launched through gamescope, I still get no resolution options.

System: legion 7 16ACHg6

R7 5700H 3060 mobile 32gb ram 2560x1600 165fps 👍🏻

Thanks in advance.

I am testing Elden Ring Nightreign on CachyOS at 1080p with FSR Ultra Quality, medium preset and high textures. Nightreign runs fine out of the box on Linux. FSR is needed on my mini PC for a smooth 60fps experience.

I used these Environment Variables:

small guide in development to encourage gaming on linux, assetto corsa 100% functional on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Jun 2025 - 9:19am

small guide in development to encourage gaming on linux, assetto corsa 100% functional on linux

The link below is a repository that I am developing to try to improve the Assetto Corsa experience in the Linux environment, as it is a game that requires complicated adjustments for beginners to make ANYTHING in the game work. The guide below lists everything from the hardware used, to how to install and make the base game work with Proton 5.0, and then Proton GE, to the Modding, Public Online and LAN tabs. What encouraged me to make this guide was mainly the LAN tab in CM, which is broken in Linux. It doesn't work, and I didn't see anyone talking about it. I managed to find a way to get around it, and it's even functional, making it possible to play with Windows users! I'm a beginner in creating guides and contributions, but I'm willing to help the community.

Recently can't get anything to run with proton/steam on Ubuntu and can't alt tab in Big Picture Mode, nor see desktop in BPM.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Jun 2025 - 8:43am

So I have no idea what caused all of this, but for a while now, I can't run any of my windows games using Proton Experimental for the compatibility layer in Steam, when I could before. I also can't get to my desktop while in BPM on my steam link with a steam controller. If I minimize it, BPM goes away and I'm left with a black screen with a cursor. If I move my controller's stick around I hear different options selected in BPM but can't see anything happening. Steam+Start is alt+tab in windows, but does nothing in ubuntu. I'm really confused as to what's happened and how to fix it.
