Help with 5070Ti crashes

08. Februar 2026 - 01:04

I've been trying to figure this out for a very long time. I even got ghosted on the NVIDIA Linux Dev Forum. Before resorting to swapping my NVIDIA card for AMD or something, I figured I would see if anyone in this community could help me out.

Every day at random intervals, my 5070 Ti will drop the video signal and blast its fans, which requires me to hard reboot my PC. The most relevant log message I can find is “Xid 79: The GPU has fallen off the bus”. It does not depend on load or temperature.

I do not think it is a hardware issue since they are all brand new components in a custom PC, and I have reseated the GPU a couple times. Unless, perhaps, I received faulty or incompatible hardware, which is, sadly, not under warranty. Also, I have already tried disabling pcie_aspm in my kernel cmdline. I can’t disable nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware since the 50** series requires the open drivers, which require GSP.

This seems like a pretty cryptic and low-level problem, and I am not familiar with really low-level debugging, so can someone help me determine if this is a hardware problem, or if it is a driver bug, kernel misconfiguration, or something else. If it is a hardware problem, that will really suck, so I want to know for sure.

I tried to attach the output of nvidia-bug-report.sh here. It contains full log dumps and many other helpful diagnostic command outputs. But here is my system info:

  • Gentoo Linux 6.12.58 running Wayland with nvidia-open 580.126.09 drivers
  • RTX 5070 Ti (ZOTAC Solid SFF OC)
  • Corsair 750W Platinum PSU
  • ASRock B650I Lightning WIFI Motherboard
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU
  • Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith Gaming 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory

Help with Dawn of War Definitive Edition.

07. Februar 2026 - 23:54

Managed to play around 4 hours of it but over the last few weeks, each time I click the play button on Steam, the system goes Launching, then Sycronising to cloud before then reverting back to the play button.

I have tried different versions of proton with no luck, same issues, any pointers on where to look to resolve this?

Star Wars Outlaws - huge frame rate dips when moving to newer areas - every time, almost like shader caching

07. Februar 2026 - 22:09

I have watched videos of others playing Star Wars Outlaws, and they seem to have some frame time inconsistency, but I am going from solid 100 (no FG) to 15-30 for 5-15 seconds on reaching a new area or entering a world. It comes accross like shader caching because once it clears up it seems smooth. I am not sure why my shader cache is not persistent between launches. I have installed the Ubi client via steam with protonGE, running it then with either GE or experimental get the same long stutter patterns and is quite ruinous to the experience. I can't find others online displaying the same issues, nor did anyone especially mention this on protonDB. Any advice? If it is related to cache, any way to make it persistent? AMD 7000*, fedora

SA Mod Manager Not Working In Gaming Mode on Steam Deck

07. Februar 2026 - 22:03

My gf is trying to get SA Mod Manager to work on her Steam Deck in gaming mode but it won't work in gaming mode specifically for some reason. It works in desktop mode fine but the game crashes instantly when ran from there. It wants her to download the .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.21 but she has done it multiple times with multiple different exe's and versions in both desktop mode and gaming mode.

Any equivelant to Hwinfo64 plugin for Stream Deck to monitor hardware?

07. Februar 2026 - 21:46

On Windows I'm able to use a Hwinfo64 plugin for my Stream Deck to monitor my RAM/Ryzen CPU (usage and temps)/Nvidia 3090 GPU (VRAM usage and temps).

On Linux however, the closest I've found which I can get to work for any Stream Deck server alternative, including Open Deck, is monitoring CPU and RAM usage.

Does anyone know of any working plugins on Linux which can go further and also monitor my CPU temps and my Nvidia GPU like I can on Windows?

Thank you.

FSR4 Environmental Variable on Lutris?

07. Februar 2026 - 21:20

Thinking of installing Lutris so I can play Cyberpunk 2077 again. I've had success using the Proton FSR4 upgrade command on Steam games in launch options.

I was wondering how/if it works on games launched using Lutris without using Optiscaler? I had a little look on Google, but there doesn't seem to be much documentation.

I made a website for recommended games alternatives to games not supported to Linux (Free and open source)

07. Februar 2026 - 21:00

Many popular games don't support Linux because of the anti-cheat software, so I decided to make a website that gives recommended alternatives that you can play on Linux.

All the games that I recommended on the website, I added based on good research and playing the games as well

The website name is Linux Games Alt, and it's completely free and open source on github so you can contribute with me to add more games or add more features to the website.

Confused about installing Proton versions from ProtonUp-Qt? - What's the difference between installing them for Steam or Lutris?

07. Februar 2026 - 20:54

Hello guys. I'm a bit confused.

With ProtonUp-Qt you can select "Install for:", and you can choose between Steam (~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d) and Lutris (~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine). But there various weird things:

Some compatibility tools are not installable in one or another. For example, Proton CachyOS can't be installed on Lutris. Yet, if i install it for Steam, it shows up as an option on Lutris. That makes no sense...

Also, why is dxvk and vkd3d listed as compatibility tools in ProtonUp-Qt? They are not Proton versions, those are things you can install through Protontricks/Winetricks. I'm just really confused

I want to know from people who praise AMD for Linux compatibility so much what they think about RDNA2+3 being excluded from FSR4 still. There is no FSR4 on Vulkan and also on windows no support in sight for the redstone suite, no ray regeneration, no...

07. Februar 2026 - 20:52

From time to time a reminder is a must to wake up people and tell them that a corporation is not your friend. Gamers need to be able to criticize computer vendors if they want to improve their situation. AMD keeping FSR4 to RDNA4 exclusively is such a low move to say the least.

They gain absolutely nothing from that but annoy a lot of customers. How must an RX 7900 XTX buyer feel about this? These expensive GPUs are not that old. That kind of product marketing and long term support is a joke. If this is a new custom from AMD then i don't want to imagine what could happen to RX 9070 XT owners in future. Will FSR5 Pinkstone suite be exclusive to RDNA5 then?

Due to AMD'S own leak we know that FSR4 int8 is very possible on RDNA2+3. It is a shame that we AMD GPU owners have to revert to intel's XeSS AI based upscaler to have proper visual quality if available or need to use FSR hacks with variable outcome.

As for AMD being a Linux Gaming hero allegedly, in truth they shut down their Linux GPU driver like amdvlk some time ago. Valve writes Linux drivers for them among many other projects. Valve engineers are predominantly doing the hard MESA driver work for years to make games compatible on Linux. AMD doesn't seem to be that interested in Gaming and rather concentrates on CPUs where they can earn way more money. This is because a CPU die is way smaller than a GPU die and brings lower margins. Overall they just seem to copy new GPU features.

Meanwhile Nvidia offers DLSS 4.5 for their older GPU series. And intel? They promised to open source XeSS but ignore requests about this.

Let's calm down a bit and think.

However i am not sure if releasing FSR4 int8 for RDNA2+3 would change something now. On Linux this would probably benefit us in many ways like even applying it to games which don't support it natively. But on windows you probably have to do it manually for each game in the best case. But probably it won't work if the game doesn't support it natively. Also i don't believe that AMD would develop FSR4 for vulkan. As i mentioned before they don't even bother anymore to write an own GPU Linux driver. We are lacking lots of features still which AMD only offers per Adrenalin on windows. So much for being a premium supplier to Valve.

Can't detect games on second drive through my Mod Manager

07. Februar 2026 - 20:41

Hello, I've been trying to get HedgeModManager (the mod manager for sonic games) working since I switched to Linux but haven't had much luck. I believe it's because I set up a symlink to play games off of my second SSD (listed as "4TB SATA" in the image) and HedgeModManager can't detect that. Seems that its a very easy app to use on Steam Deck so that's why I assume its the symlink. Any help would be appreciated. System info listed in the screenshot. Thank you

How useful is an old Nvidia GT 730 with Linux today?

07. Februar 2026 - 20:29

Decommissioning under-used old workstations, and some have Nvidia GT 730 ("GK208B") passively-cooled single-slot graphics boards in them. These only have one legacy DVI and one HDMI outputs, though, not the four outputs you see on these cards sometimes for certain applications like video surveillance.

They run with nouveau driver, but I don't know what to expect with respect to utility. It's obviously pretty awful for gaming, but perhaps still somewhat useful? What about video encode/decode?
