Hey. I recently switched from Windows to Linux Mint for daily use.

I tried to do some gaming and while the games do run correctly on Steam using the Proton hotfixes, the 3D games have incredibly low FPS compared to when I play on my Windows install.

Specifically, either I set the graphics so low that the game becomes animated pixel art, either the game is so slow it becomes a slideshow. While in Windows, I can run most games smoothly at max graphics.

What I did:

I followed the tutorial on https://linux-gaming.kwindu.eu/index.php?title=Improving_performance#Major_tweaks

- Disabled composition on fullscreen apps

- I correctly launch games on steam using GameMode

- Installed the drivers (not through the steps in the tutorial but by using the Driver Manager tool. I am currently using nvidia-driver-570-open as shown in the screenshot)

What should I do ? Thanks!

I'm wondering about all three vendors, but mostly about nVidia, given that's what I currently use.

Is it possible, does the tool have a curve editor, and is there an automatic overclock tool like in MSI AB? I find that to be the best starting point for undervolting.

When i go to the games page in my library the install button is grayed out and next to it there is a message saying "Available for (Windows logo)", and when using "steam://install/{game-id}" i get an error saying "Invalid Platform".

Destiny 2 is my crack daddy and he’s been booty calling me for the past week now. Issue is, it can’t run on Linux at all and requires just straight up Windows. Even a VM isn’t perfect and can lead to bans for cheating. So I’m asking, is Win10 the only useable OS for dual booting? Out all the windows products it’s one of the least bad, and functioning as the motel for my conjugal visit shouldn’t be too bad. However, is there a better alternative? I know of AtlasOs and all the other modified windows which are massive security risks, so it’s looking I’m going to need to just install win10 on a partition and debloat the hell out of it.

I Have been using after x server setting to set a gpu overclock with powermizer offsets. But When I reboot after it resets my powermizer memory and clock offsets. I would want it to not do that since its a little annoying setting it on every boot up.
im running Kubuntu 24.04 LTS with a RTX 3060.

I tried making a startup script like the below one but it seams the lines that change the clock offsets do not work.

Also just running nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=150'by its self in the terminal does not work either.

#!/bin/sh nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1' nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=150' nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=900' submitted by /u/guineapigboyx

so i run Fedora-gnome on my rtx 3050 laptop, whenever i boot it tells me "nvidia kernel module missing. falling back to nouveau"

chatgpt told me to:
1. turn off secure boot
2. disable nouveau
3. install akmods nvidia thingy??
4. force ak mods??

pls tell me if this is safe, i tried installing the drives before but since i am experiencing problems with laptop not starting after automatically turning off due to intactivity.

Long story short:

I have jumped on Linux almost 2 years ago to "get used to it" and learn possible fixes to problems.

I found out, objectively, that S-E-1 uses almost twice the GPU % (use) to render the same or less frames.

This is an issue for ANYONE and EVERYONE because the GPU working double to give less is just a problem, no matter what "someone" says.

I want to give my thanks to the DXVK Devs for this first fix (I am not knowledgeable of how GitHUB works, but from the little I understood they plan to work a little more one it).

Please don't go there just to say "thank you", GitHUB is not a Social Media.

{You can react with Emojis tho.}

.

I want to invite everyone to play out some games which you enjoyed in the past and figure out if, compared to Windows' default performance, there's such a drastic loss there too, because Valve & other big shots are focusing on more modern games (for obvious reasons).

It's difficult to scientifically gather data, but it must be done by someone, because if you want to be completely independent from Windows this must be done.

my pc specs are : ryzen 5 5600, rx 580 8gb, 2x8gb 3200mhz, b450 motherboard. Planning to test linux out on single player games like cp2077,god of war ragnarok, forza horizon 5, horizon forbidden west.

So I recently made the jump to Linux Mint full time, and generally Im pretty impressed with the linux gaming experience these days. That being said, I think my Geforce 1660 Super is starting to show its age a bit and given my budget is a bit limited im looking at mid range options to replace it (planning on keeping my Ryzen 5 3600 for the immediate future and looking for a potentially a second hand upgrade).

Doing some research it looks like right now midrange cards are hamstrung by Nvidia and AMD limiting them to 8GB of VRAM, which a lot of people are saying isn't going to be very future proofed. Ive been interested in the Intel ARC B580 or A770 as alternative options which don't have this limitation but I've seen mixed comments about the state of their linux drivers and Vulkan performance.

Anyone on here using Intel cards on Linux able to offer their perspective?

Not sure why... I tried some of the command fixes but it didn't work.... Any suggestions??? For which proton version to use?? And launch options??
