Nvidia gamers how's it going out there?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Every time they fix the issue plaguing me, a new one is introduced.

There is now an issue with memory allocation after some time playing games that requires a full restart.

Really hoping the amd launch gives me a reason to dump this 2070 Super.

[–] Burghler@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Sounds rough, good luck chief. Maybe look to swap, a buddy of mine had good success trading Nvidia to amd from a windows fanboy.

Exact!

I went from a 3050 to a 7900xt.

I don't play many games, but I had enough of the nv bs.

I endured this for way too long.

Using a 3060 laptop, things are alright.

Having to prepend prime-run to all programs I want to use the GPU sucks. Launching games with the dGPU in Lutris no longer works.

gamescope doesn't work so no HDR/VRR

Other than that everything works fine and Wayland's next major release will fix the HDR issue.

Have they fixed the graphical glitches in steam menus yet?

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Which ones specifically? My wishlist sorting options haven't worked for a couple months at least...

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What cards and wayland compositors/xorg are you using? I have a 4080 and am on plasma 6.3 and don't have any graphical glitches with steam.

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Could you tell me how to check the wayland and xorg? I'm still learning

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Simplest way would be to open a term windows and type 'ps aux | grep Xorg' minus the quotes and hit enter. Ignore the output that has grep on it. Examine the output. If only one line, then you are most likely on wayland. There are other ways, but we would need to know more about your system.

I'm on an RTX 4070 Pop os x11

[–] MXX53@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

I just moved from my aging 1080ti (which I might go back to) to an ampere RTX A4000 and I am getting the occasionally entire screen freeze and I have to restart to fix it.

I hope this addresses that.
