Should I switch to a 9070xt from a 5070ti?

07. Januar 2026 - 01:24

Pretty much the title. Before Torvalds sudo rm's my soul from my body, I bought the 5070ti a little while ago before I fully committed to making the permanent switch to Linux. So far my experience with the card has been pretty solid. I've had some weird experiences, but nothing too unmanageable. Performance seems fine, but I dont have any solid data to compare against Windows.

I have the opportunity to trade the 5070 for a 9070xt +$100 cash (to me). Should I seal the deal? Obviously AMD is generally the better bet for Linux, but it seems like (in my uneducated opinion) that NVIDIA is starting to step up their Linux driver support. Plus, NVIDIA seems to be releasing some cool new features like DLSS 4.5 (I know people hate frame-gen and other AI game features, but both NVIDIA and AMD are pushing the tech, so it's worth considering).

As far as my use case, I'd mostly use the card for playing demanding single-player games at 1440p. I'd also like to mess around a bit with self-hosting an AI. I tried getting it to work with an older AMD card and it was pain.

Recommendation for Breathing New Life into an Older Gaming PC

07. Januar 2026 - 01:11

Hello! I have an older gaming PC (Intel Core i5 4690k, GTX 970, 16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD) that has been gathering dust, and it can't be updated to Windows 11 so I'm hoping to breath some new life into it by switching it over to Linux for gaming, but I'm not sure if it would actually make sense to go through the effort of that if it wouldn't really work all that well. I don't play a ton of modern games, but I am deeply intrigued by the fact that I might be able to play my Steam library again since I only have an M1 Mac right now and can only play about 1/4 of my library.

I was considering either Bazzite or Nobara as my distro, but if there's a different recommendation that works better with older hardware, I'm happy for the recommendation. It looks like my graphics card would work with Bazzite, but I'm still very much a Linux noob so I'm happy to learn more.

Thanks so much!

Resident Evil 4 remake performance got worse?

07. Januar 2026 - 00:51

the game used to run about 90 fps without raytracing for me a year or so ago, ran like butter, now on the same machine and settings it runs anywhere from 45-60, especially worse when using ray tracing, anybody else experience this? i saw a few unhelpful posts in the past and on protondb about it, weird since the pragmata demo ran beautifully and all the other RE engine games run completely fine (barring monster hunter wilds)

Lords of the fallen no linux

07. Januar 2026 - 00:43

Comecei a jogar LOTF no cachyOS, tudo rodando relativamente ok, ate passar da irma Delyth, o jogo simplesmente travava e depois de um tempo fechava, tentei de tudo porem sem resultados, entao copiei os saves e joguei no meu windows 10, alem do jogo rodar muito mais liso, nao tive problemas, nem com os mini travamentos e nem de travar e fechar

Sou novo com linux e embora tenha dual boot com win10, a intençao é nao usar ele, alguem saberia dizer se é possivel melhorar o desempenho desse jogo em especifico no linux? sei que nao é realmente um problema mas eu realmente nao queria ir pro windows so pra zerar o game kkkk

meu processador é um ryzen 5700x, com uma 5060ti 16gb, 16gb de ram, com dlss o jogo fica rodando oscilando entre 60 a 90 fps

How to get new DLSS 4.5 with Proton

07. Januar 2026 - 00:36

TIP for DLSS 4.5

dlss-swapper and PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE (for now, should be updated in the future) uses latest rendering preset, which is preset M, and it's not recommended when using different scaling than Performance or Ultra Performance. To force preset K back, you have to use this env variable:

DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=RENDER_PRESET_K

or

DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=DEFAULT

This changes automatically based on scalling in game

Presets J and K also uses new transformer 2.0 model for those wondering

Works on Proton GE and Proton CachyOS

I've also verified that fix for this is easy, as it really needs a small change in upscalers.py file in proton so it should be fixed probably in next Proton CachyOS release at least as I've let them know about it on their Discord

9070XT is drawing up to 396W when it’s a 304W card. Will setting a power limit help?

07. Januar 2026 - 00:06

I have seen almost 400W drawn when I ran an OCCT GPU benchmark, my GPU is an Asrock Steel Legend 9070XT. I found here that there was a kernel patch to just let all 9070XT’s use up to 374 watts. (https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/power-ceiling-increased-out-of-nowhere-for-9070-xt/14650/4), not sure why OCCT is reporting 396W+ in the main header where it shows power use. I’m wondering if this increased power use would also translate to higher transient spikes. On windows with a 304W limit as defined by the card, I see a total graphics power of around 530W and an 850W PSU in my prebuilt pc. Secondary question, would limiting it to 304W with LACT end up making the spikes more in line with windows, if 374+W means they would be higher? I use Bazzite.

Getting kernel amdgpu driver crash

06. Januar 2026 - 23:56

So recently I've been getting some crash to black-screen's during gaming, I thought it was a Ram issue (I'm honestly glad it's not) as the computer wouldn't reboot until I unseated one of the ram-sticks, booted, turned off the computer, re-seat the ram stick and it was fine again.

I thought I'd fixed the problem or at least increased stability by reducing ram-speed until my computer crashed again.

This time I looked through the journal and found this (roughly about the time of the crash):

(for the dmesg stuff, I'm not certain how to ask it to go back 2 boots)

So this is a recent issue (I think?) and I'm wondering if it's a driver problem or if it's a hard-ware issue, I hope I don't need to buy a new GPU.

My distro is EndevourOS (which is Arch based for those that don't know), It crashes even with graphically simple games (like Brotato).

Using Steam, have Lutris, wasn't using it at the time

Hi everyone, i recently change mi gpu from a rx570 to a rx9060xt and change my psu from 550w bronze to a 850w gold, but i experience some black screens or monitor powering off in some games and in emulators, i already try the stress test from geeks3d, but the gpu works well, i dont know what could be happen on my system, i already take some investigation on my logs and shows some lines like this

amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] REG_WAIT timeout 1us * 150000 tries - optc401_disable_crtc line:235

but i dont really understand cuz i have everything updated and if i swap to my rx570 it just works, somebody could just throw me a hand?

Discord Copy Paste Images

06. Januar 2026 - 23:34

Fedora 43 KDE Edition

I can't seem to be able to paste images from my clipboard into discord directly. Nothing happens when I attempt to do it.

If I attempt to drag and drop an image into discord, discord crashes.

I can upload an image as a file fine. I've tried this on both Flatpak and the RPM package. Is this a known limitation?

Thanks!

There are 2 sets of control settings in game, I set navigation stuff in the first game control settings (this is not needed if using keyboard: With game launched hit escape>plugin>rbr controls enable joy-here i bind my dpad on my g29 the enter key, the escape key, and the delete key, then save changes at the top,

Next press escape and go to controls>control setup>control setup: delete all the pre set controls and bind my wheel, throttle, brake, clutch, handbrake, gear up, gear down (not the secondary ones) pause, and camera change, and nothing else. I only have paddle shifters on my g29 so I can only speak to that. I found that if I mapped reversed to a button it would not let me use my paddles.

You should be good to play

Can't run need for speed game through steam

06. Januar 2026 - 22:47

Hello all,

I have downloaded need for speed rivals game from the steam store, and then I clicked on launch, then it prompted me to sign in to EA and start downloading the EA application.

However, by mistake I closed this window because I was in the game mode which made the EA window very unusable. Now every time I try to launch the game it doesn't launch and doesn't show this window that it showed the first time. What shall I do? Can anyone help?

I drank 250 ml of Jägermeister and decided to switch to Linux

06. Januar 2026 - 22:05

Everything works fucking great (relative to my expectations), games from the second disk were recognized by Steam without any problems, there are stutterers, but that's normal as far as I understand, because of the compilation of shaders. The video lags a little when I stream in Discord browser. I chose CachyOS and I'm not afraid of messing around in the console a little, because I used Antergos (if anyone remembers that distro) on an old computer about 10 years ago. So, what should I do now to get optimal performance? I have an RTX 3060.

Semi embarrassing lesson switching to Linux (TL;DR use Display-port)

06. Januar 2026 - 21:57

So recently swapped my nVidia card for an AMD, switched to Cachy (like so far btw), and inadvertently learned a hardware lesson. At least for my widescreen monitor (ASUS VG34VQL1B) you really want to use DisplayPort. I've had this monitor for a few years, and had sworn it was supposed to go to 165 Mhz, forgot about that fact, and thought nothing of it only going to 99Mhz. Used it that way without much complaint. But recently I decided to go ahead, spend a little money to swap my card, and give Linux another go. Was of course impressed with how well my games performed, but was appalled by popping sounds I heard through my monitors audio (I plug monitor into my external speakers so I can easily share my setup with my work laptop). So anyway, that led me on a internet search path where I discovered that open source AMD drivers are blocked from supported HDMI 2.1. So I grabbed an extra Display port and yup no popping sounds. But what made me embarrassed was, all the sudden KDE display settings are letting me to go 165 MHz. So yeah, TLDR, even under Windows I was doing it wrong.

[Open Source / Cross-Platform] Steam Cloud File Manager - View, download, and manage individual cloud saves

06. Januar 2026 - 21:20

I recently built a tool to view and manage Steam Cloud files directly.

GitHub: https://github.com/Fldicoahkiin/SteamCloudFileManager

Steam's official cloud storage page only shows a usage bar. You can't see what files are actually stored, where they are on your disk, or download them individually.

What this tool does:

- Tree view of all cloud files with size and sync status

- Download/upload/delete individual files

- Shows the actual local path for each file (Documents, AppData, install dir, etc.)

- Hash comparison between local and cloud versions

How it works:

- Parses remotecache.vdf to get file metadata and Root IDs

- Uses CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) to get download URLs from Steam's built-in browser

- Calls ISteamRemoteStorage API for file operations

Platforms: Windows, macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), Linux

Installation:

- GitHub Releases: https://github.com/Fldicoahkiin/SteamCloudFileManager/releases

- macOS: brew tap Fldicoahkiin/tap && brew install steam-cloud-file-manager

- Arch: yay -S steam-cloud-file-manager-bin

Note: Requires Steam debug mode (-cef-enable-debugging). The app has a one-click button to restart Steam with this flag.

Built with Rust + egui. Fully open source (GPL-3.0).

Feedback and contributions welcome!
