I recently found an Intel based Mac tower at my local ewaste drop off and realized it still works perfectly. I chose to slap Linux Mint (had the bootable USB already made) and it runs beautifully. I upgraded the SSD to a NVME drive I had spare and the ram to 32gb. I swapped the CPU out for the i7 instead of the i5 it came with. I intend to make this a gaming rig so the girlfriend can have a light gaming rig. The games she wants to play are not super demanding but do require a bit more in the ways of a GPU than what came with this machine.

My question is, is it possible to install a graphics card that wasn't made for Apple and use it on Linux? I know it may seem like a dumb question but I tried searching online and I was getting mixed answers. Some were saying yes, but others were saying no. Which brought me to you all.

I have two graphics cards I could install. One is a RTX 2070 Super and the other is the AMD 6800XT. I'm willing to try either.

Any advice and information is greatly appreciated!!!

I use GNOME with CachyOS. My hardware: r7 5700x, RTX 3070, 16GB RAM. Is the difference in fps in games noticeable compared to GNOME and KDE Plasma? Maybe in this case window managers are ideal

So I have an MSI 4070 Super two fan GPU and I have it undervolted in MSI Afterburner and a custom fan curve. In Quake 2 RTX the highest temp it gets to 67c and that temp is stable even after two hours. In Linux Mint within 10-15 minutes, the GPU temp is at 75c. I tried LACT and I can't get it to save any settings with the fan curve and I can't get any overlay programs to work in game. I'd like to undervolt if possible in Linux Mint, but I am also afraid of frying or bricking my card. There are so many videos and guides for undervolting in MSI Afterburner, but not much for Linux and what I have found it deals with using to terminal which makes me even more afraid of bricking my GPU.

Pretty much what the title says, since Isleweaver dropped I have been getting severe crashes and performance drops which were not happening for the last year I have been on Ubuntu.
I have attempted to tinker with launch options, but that did nothing, have even gone as far as reinstalling it, but that also didn't help.
I am, quite obviously, using the steam version, and am open to any help.
Was told that posting it here would be more helpful.

So I've been playing Spider-Man 2 on my laptop -- and despite the glaring optimisation issues, it was running pretty well on Win 11. I was able to get around 60 fps at high settings. Yesterday, I decided to try out the game on the same system, but with Linux Mint installed. I'm not dual-booting or anything like that -- this is a clean install. I've updated the drivers, set the preferred GPU to my NVIDIA card at performance mode, used Proton on Steam, and have done everything. But the game just -- runs like ass!

I'm getting like 2 FPS, and I just can't seem to find out why. What's going on? I'm VERY new to Linux, and I don't really know what I'm doing yet. Do y'all know what could be the potential reasons why this is happening?

Thanks!

My specs:

Intel i5 13th gen

16 gb RAM

RTX 3050 4 gb (yeah, it's not much -- but it still ran game fine on Win 11)

Linux Mint Cinnamon
