I'm kicking myself because I wanna switch to Linux but I just bought a used Nvidia card

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So? I am using linux (arch btw) with a 3090 without problems.

[–] keeeener@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

3080ti on fedora here and no issues either

[–] neeeeDanke@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I am using a 1080 Ti and its meh, I sometimes have screen tearing issues, sleep/hibernate doesn't work anymore and letting it choose the iGPU and GPU based off of the current needs also does not work, so I just run the iGPU most of the time (it doesn't have the screen tearing issue).

I'm thinking of doing a fresh install, maybe a different distro, as the setup is quite old and bloated by now, but I'm not looking forward to reinstalling everything I actually need/use.

I use a GTX 970, I can play most games just fine.

It's not Windows performance, Cyberpunk 2077 for instance was quite more unstable for me on Arch and it took quite a bit of tweaking to be able to launch it (it's a miracle that I can even play Cyberpunk with a 970 in both cases :P). Generally though I've had a pretty good experience, most games play out of the box with good performance, and I get to daily drive Linux finally

Cyberpunk can run on a 1050 Mobile. We are making the game seem a much larger beast.

[–] iByteABit@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It can run yeah, but it's not a playable performance at all. A friend of mine played a bit of Cyberpunk with a 1050 on Windows, all the latest drivers and a relatively good build other than the graphics card, but he quickly got tired from running it with 20-30 FPS (all settings on low with 720p)

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Didn't find it myself as an issue. I play a LOT of older 3D titles (3D Nintendo Switch games), and most are locked at 30 or even 25.

But am I mistaken, or I remember Cyberpunk being more about CPU than GPU? I got an Intel i7-8750H

[–] iByteABit@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It is very CPU heavy but also made for next gen graphics cards, and 20-30 fps is way too little for a fast paced first person game

I have a Nvidia Tesla K80 and couldn't even set it up on Windows

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Why would that be a problem?
