Looking to get a pc for my wife and will probably be putting fedora 42 gnome on it. I know the 3070 ti is faster technically but was unsure how much nvidea is doing in the present with there drivers. Also I know 3070 ti is 8gb vram while the 6700 xt is 12gb. How much is that going to affect current and near future gaming? If I remember right the 12700k is a better gpu than the 5800x.

System 1: $700 12700K CPU 6700XT GPU

System 2: $750 5800x CPU 3070 TI GPU

People continually say adding the following code ******** to a script or file or something to modify starting parameters etc, but where and how do you add it? One example given was to add "dx11 / --use-d3d11" to get Steam or game to use dx11 instead of dx12.

When trying to play SKSE, NPCs mouths will move like they're talking, but the audio doesn't play and subtitles don't come up until they're done moving their mouths, and they won't start moving their mouths for the next line until the previous line has completely finished playing.

I've tried Proton Experimental, Hotfix, GE, and Proton 7, all have the same issue. I've tried setting the launch option WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% as well.

Any ideas?

Linux-wise, I'm total noob, so keep that in mind.

The goal is to give my old laptop a last chance before donating it to electro-junk container so it could serve as a HTPC with the possibility of lightweight gaming (like, very lightweight).

What I need:

• possibility to install old proprietary Nvidia drivers (from 384 to 390)
• possibility to disable Optimus and force the OS to use dGPU only (no BIOS option for that). This tool seems lovely. This is necessary since iGPU cannot even handle Steam itself lol

And that's basically that. What I tried so far:

• Ubuntu - first encounter with Linux so it went pretty bad
• Nobara - I liked it but it doesn't support such an old GPU. I would have to switch to Xorg and somehow install unsupported drivers (which I tried but with no results)
• Zorin OS - another good overall experience, with apparent support for 390 driver. However installing resulted with "pk-client-error-quark: Error while installing package (...) post installation error code 10 (313)." Despite that, I feel like overcoming this issue would be my endgame on the matter of perfect distro.

I'm pretty sure it can be done but my absolute lack of knowledge blocks me quite effectively to perform any troubleshooting without help. I can always go back to Win10 but it puts a significant strain on this pc and Win7 is not an option anymore.

So, where should I head?

Hello,

I've noticed high VRAM usage in KDE, which has been affecting the games that I'm able to run properly. My hardware the following

Distro: Fedora 42 KDE spin

CPU: AMD ryzen 7800X3D

GPU: RTX 3080 10G

Driver version: 570.144 (though I have noticed this issue in earlier driver versions too.)

RAM: 32 GB 6000MT/s DDR5

Sitting on the desktop and running nvidia-smi sees my GPU running at 2.3-2.7GB of VRAM Usage. This is after disabling mallit-keyboard and exiting out of steam (or disabling hardware acceleration) and running no other programs such as web browsers

Unfortunately this effectively makes it so that my card is limited to using 8GB of VRAM for games, which is causing issues in newer releases, cause when I fill up the VRAM buffer, the game's FPS drops substantially until I restart the game. For example in Oblivion remastered, If I start the game in a dungeon, vram usage is at about 8GB of 10 and it runs at a locked 60 fps. Exiting into the overworld fills the VRAM buffer almost immediately and I drop to 20-50 fps with inconsistent frame times. Going back into the dungeon afterwards leaves the game running at 20-50 Fps though, as VRAM is still maxed out. This remains an issue until I restart the game. A similar issue is present in

Basically, I have a few questions here:

Is the high VRAM usage on desktop present for anyone using AMD hardware? Is this a KDE specific issue? If you're running on Gnome or another desktop, is VRAM usage still high? Are there any recommendations for tweaks I could make? I've tried stuff such as creating an embedded game scope session to launch into for more modern games, but unfortunately embedded game scope still has too many issues on Nvidia hardware to make that a viable solution for now.

As I discover the potential of this amazing simulator and learn the capabilities of the aircraft, I'm having fun creating these showcase videos.

I hope you're enjoying as much as I am.

THANK YOU and HAVE FUN!

Thanks to Kuba Pawlak and the graphics driver team, the Nvidia 570.133 driver is now available.

https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

570.133 first arrived on 18 March:

I just installed it on Linux Mint 22.1.

I ran the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark for testing purposes.

I use this startup command for Steam.

The GPU Driver string is weird but everything worked great.

Previously I was running 570.124.
