So. Okay, first of all.

Whenever I run game with just WineD3D, all is well.

but. Latest DXVK? Weird out of order frame rendering (similar to that old nvidia on wayland issue) only when moving mouse

dxvk 2.5.2... Well, now frames don't render out of order, but.. there is a bit of glitching whenever moving the mouse.

Happens both under mesa 26.0.5, and mesa 25.3.6. Running Sway (Wayland)

So.. wanted to know if anyone else had that issue, and whether they managed to solve this issue.

I was wondering if someone had an issue similar to mine with this game and managed to solve it.

Basic tech specs: RTX4070, i5 12400, 64GB RAM, using an SSD drive (doesn't matter if NTFS or btrfs partition, no difference), and distro is Nobara Linux. Running the game from Heroic Game Launcher with the latest DW-Proton, as other methods were even less playable.

The problem is that loading screens take a very long time (like around a minute even for a simple resource protocol space). Additionally, during said screens the game makes the entire system very choppy despite the resource monitor software claiming only 20-50% of CPU resources etc. are being used. As a result, I can't even really do much else while the loading is ongoing.

It wasn't like this with the initial release, which worked perfectly fine. I think it started with version 1.1 (the patch with the Tangtang banner.) Actual gameplay is still fine performance-wise, it's just that the loading screens make it annoying to do stuff like your dailies where you load into new areas a lot (or even reload the same area like with protocol spaces). The issue has persisted over various driver versions that have come out since then, as well. No similar issues with any other games so far.

It's also not a hardware issue, at least in the sense that in Windows it still works perfectly fine, but obviously I don't want to be booting there for one damn game every day.

For context I built my rig 1.5 years ago. It currently has 7800XT and is running smoothly.

But with AMD intentionally not giving FSR4 to RDNA3 users and talks that UDNA will bring FSR that can't be used on RDNA4..... I'm just sour on AMD. I can't buy stuff that becomes obsolete tomorrow.

I was browsing the second market and found an amazing deal on an RTX 4090.

Are Nvidia drivers on Linux any better today? And I'm not talking about the setup, that's the least of my worries.

How is the performance impact? RTX 4090 should give me at least a 50% performance boost in raster, and let's not even talk about RT

But that's pointless if translating DX12 via Proton and RT inefficiencies cost me 20-30%

Whenever I boot into kde arch theres like a few seconds where the system feels like its warming up and starting to recognize the stuff on my pc. It takes a few seconds to recognize external hard drives, audio devices and network devices. Why is that happening and is there a way to make it faster?

Acabo de liberar Scotty v8.3, un runtime para Linux que gestiona el scaling governor de la CPU de forma autónoma. No usa reglas fijas: mantiene un campo resonante de 8 nodos cuyas interacciones determinan el governor más adecuado en cada momento. Además, monitorea la temperatura/uso de la GPU y perturba el campo para que el sistema migre naturalmente a performance cuando hace falta, sin que nadie le ordene hacerlo.

Está escrito en Python, es modular (core, resonance, topology, memory) e incluye protección térmica, control de procesos abusivos y memoria persistente. Lo probé en Manjaro KDE con Intel+NVIDIA.

Hi, I've currently got:

- Ryzen 7 3700x

- 64 GiB RAM

- ASUS TUF X570-plus (PCIE 4.0)

- Nvidia 3080ti

- 4k display

- Fedora 42 (I need to upgrade)

I've recently modded KSP and when using large texture packs, I've been running out of VRAM. This, coupled with feeling like my card is struggling to run high settings much beyond 40fps makes me feel like I should upgrade.

I play a lot of different types of game, but typically not twitchy shooters, so I don't care about having huge FPS values(120+).

I seem to be able to sell my 3080ti for about £400-£450.

I'm trying to decide which card to get, out of:

- 9070 xt (£650)

- 7900 xtx (£850)

- 5090 (£3000)

If I get the AMD cards, I accept that I might be upgrading again in a year or two, but with the 5090, I'd expect to keep it for about 5 years.

I am ray-tracing curious, as I'd love to re-play Cyberpunk in its full glory, but I've not really played with it, so I'm not sure how much difference it makes whilst playing a game. It's not a deal-breaker if I need to sit out of ray-tracing until I upgrade again, but it would be nice to have.

From reading a lot, it seems like AMD cards get a slight performance uplift on Linux, while Nvidia get a drop. On top of this, the 5090 seems to have some excessively poor 1% and 0.1% frames on some games (making games seem to chug).

I read that heavy ray-tracing was pretty poor on AMD last year, but that there's been an update that may have helped.

My questions are:

- Does ray-tracing give you any "wow" moments in games that make it worth shelling out more for and getting a 5090?

- Does the 9070xt cut it as a 4k card on Linux?

- Should I just skip chasing ray tracing and FSR 4 and just go for pure rasterisation performance in the 7900 xtx?

- Have any driver updates since 2025 fixed the poor 1% lows on the 5090, or has AMD's updates to the 9070 xt given it better heavy ray-tracing performance?

(Sorry for the long question)

Hi all,

I have a small question about Vortex installed via Steam Tinker Launch.

Vortex says there is an update so I pressed update, nothing happened.

Then I went into the Vortex page of STL and selected download (it showed an update) and after that pressed update. I've waited for about half an hour and still Vortex isn't updated.

How can I update the STL managed Vortex?

Thanks in advance.

I recently installed FFXIV on cachy os. I used the non flat pak version, AUR I think, of the xivlauncher. I noticed that the AMD FSR option in the graphics menu is greyed out. I am running a 9070xt, newly installed on a fresh cachy install and made sure everything was up to date. I have some experience with Linux but can't figure out how to get this enabled.

I'm rather new to Linux and would like to know how I could play Bedrock with friends. I've heard something about being able to run the android version? I've found some tutorials online but I feel Minecraft is one of those things that will have a lot of sketchy/scamy tutorials to steel your Google log in or something? If you know anything please LMK, kinda need badly.

Due to the complete incompetence of NVIDIA , for the mobile 16xx series , a game I love , Dying Light 1, has a few issues on Windows
-Really weird loading times and a WHOPPING 35% usage on GPU. Permanently. The game is literally unplayable averaging 20 fps.

Now the fun fact: The game runs , at 4k 60fps on Proton-GE. But due to some work problems I had, I ditched my Linux Distro to go back to Windows.
Some old forums recommended DXVK, but it runs even worse on it. Is there some sort of emulation I can do on my windows machine to simulate or even use a translation layer?
