When playing doom ethernal, It works fine and gives me around 200+ FPS for like first 5 minutes after launching the game. Then, suddenly, performance drops to around ~50 FPS and the game becomes very stuttery. It checked the temperatures they look normal to me (under 70C) and I've finished entire game (nightmare difficulty btw) on this machine on windows and its DLCs on linux with months ago without any lag so I'm certain that this is not hardware limitation

It seems like my NVIDIA GPU (5060 laptop) is losing power. I plotted GPU power usage in KDE System Monitor, and when I minimize the game, I see a jump in power usage. When I focus the game again, the power usage drops.

I tried setting the power profile to Maximum using Lenovo LOQ’s built-in Fn + Q shortcut (which does seem to work), but there was no change in behavior. I also tried launching the game with gamemoderun and switching to protonge but that didn’t help either.

I have `nvidia-powerd.service` enabled, and I tried setting Preferred Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance in NVIDIA Settings under PowerMizer, but that didn’t help either.

I think I have noticed this behavior in cs2 and dota2 as well but its not as noticeable in them as doom eternal.. maybe because they might not be that much demanding but i do notice sudden drop in fps in those games well

I am using archlinux with kde plasma wayland with 590.48.01 nvidia driver and linux 6.18.4-zen1-1-zen kernel

I have two old PCs. They're both Intel Xeon 1150s with DDR3 RAM. The most powerful graphics card I have for gaming is a GTX 1650 in my daily driver and a GTX 1660 in my gaming PC.

These PCs were bought as individual secondhand parts, except for the tower case, which was new.

The problem is that there's very little to choose from, and it's expensive. A new AMD RX 6600 costs around €200. But that's too much for my platform because it's so old, and not all models are compatible. My case and power supply have space and power consumption limitations.

If I want to migrate to GNU/Linux, I'm going to run into a lot of problems because I'm keeping my Nvidia GPU. But the thing is, there are many more options to choose from, both new and used, and sometimes even better prices.

The only good option I can find secondhand that's worth the money is an RX 580 8GB. But that would only be useful for my gaming PC, and I'm not going to use it for that. I prefer Windows for that.

I had problems with those cards because the vast majority of 8GB cards from that era were used for mining and are now completely worn out. I recently bought an RX 570 8GB and had to return it because it gave me error 43.

What are my options after that? Secondhand RX 6600s rarely go for less than €150 in my country, and they're already quite old. If I look for an RX 460/560, they offer poor performance and are more expensive than similar Nvidia cards. Sometimes, for the price of an RX 560, you can get a GTX 1060 6GB, which is better in every way for the same price. The low-profile option is much worse. I also have two small tower cases. A Dell and a Lenovo SFF. Well, the best I can get in that form factor is an RX 550 4GB. But you can find them for €40 or more, when there are equivalent or better Nvidia cards for the same price, and sometimes even less.

The opposite has happened. Ten years ago, when AMD had a market share of around 40% in graphics cards, both in stores and on the secondhand market, their cards were everywhere. Many people didn't want them. Nvidia cards were more highly valued. People asked more for an Nvidia card than for the equivalent AMD card. It used to be that an HD 7950 3GB would cost the same secondhand as a GTX 660, even though the former was significantly better.

Now the problem is the opposite. Radeon cards are worth more than many Nvidia cards on the secondhand market.

For now, if I want to migrate to Linux, I've bought an HD 7850 2GB for €20 for my main PC. But this means I'll only be able to play a few games, even though I can use the AMD GPU driver.

I'm super pleased to finally have a release date for Hyperslice, on January 16 (Friday). I've been working on this game on and off for a while now so it feels so good to see the end of the tunnel.

Hyperslice is a fast paced arena roguelite where your only weapon is your dash.

I made the game mostly using Linux Mint so I wanted to have a day one Linux/Steam Deck release. I'm so excited to get people to play it! There's a demo on Steam if you want to give it a try.

Cheers, Eliptik

I have Mango Hud set to run with Final Fantasy XIV. This makes it also appear in the launcher before the game. The overlay is showing up over the text on the left 1/3 of the launcher, when I hit my toggle button, it doesn't turn it off. It does when ingame but not on this launcher for any reason. Any ideas?

I am using Wine to launch Genshin, but it just don't launch the game itself and goes back to launcher. It was fine and working before, and I didn't do anything to it. Clearing cache and repairing files didn't help. It already happened once, I reinstalled the game and it worked. Os is linux mint. Is there a way to make it work again without reinstalling?

• Fixed a bug that prevented certain display modes that require YUV 4:2:0 subsampling from working.
• Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
• Updated libnvidia-egl-gbm to commit a73cbce to support FP16 DRM formats.

Hey guys my Minecraft crashes after a random amount of time when playing, varying between 30 minutes to almost 2 hours. I play with shaders and launch through Curseforge. I’ve tried updating ny drivers and removing ding in GNOME extensions (ChatGPT advised (not helping)) but still get crashes. I am able to run other games such as ARC Raiders, Silksong, Where Winds Meet with no crashes at all after multiple hours.

My specs are:

XFX 9070xt 16GB (newly upgraded and drived)

AM5 7800x3D

32gb DDR5 RAM

https://hytale.com/ they support linux the game drops in a couple more hours

As the title, I'm looking for an used GPU to replace my 570

What should I choose between a 3070 8GB and a 6700xt 12GB to play games on linux (f43) with steam/heroic using proton and maybe optiscaler?

I'm trying to use the enhanced edition mod for crysis but it just crashes. I have a 5070 ti and amd 9700x and can run all new games fine, but for some reason this mod is not working at all. Has anyone experienced this?

I inherited an old laptop with the following specs

Intel graphics 550

Core i5-6267u 2.9 GHz

8 GB RAM

238 GB disk

I was planning on installing Ubuntu on it and was curious about how well it could could run older Linux and less demanding games?

Surely there have to be some updates regarding: for example like - Gamemode support for Monitor hot plugging (resolution change on the fly in gamemode etc) - VR/streaming support - configurable ITM/HDR settings (not every monitor is the same..) - MAYBE multimonitor/virtual screen support for streaming? Honestly just an API to trigger resolution changes, refreshrate changes etc for games would be very welcome but unlikely - what else?

Given that the system is focused to be a "console"/"pc" with different displays plugged rather than a handheld with fixed hardware there should be updates to currently missing features for gamescope gamemode?

What else could you think of that needs improvement vs the current situation that could be solved in the process of making the Steam Machine?

I switched my gaming pc from Windows to Ubuntu this past weekend and I’ve got most of my games functioning. The only one that I’m having problems with is Hearthstone.

I’ve got the latest GE Proton installed and I’m using Faugus to launch Battle.net. Battle.net and World of Warcraft are running fine, but Hearthstone looks like a series of screenshots, too slow for the game to be playable.

Any suggestions?
