I am rather new to linux, trying to escape from windows, and one of the last things holding me back there is game support.
My setup:
MD Ryzen 7 7435HS
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Max-Q / Mobile [Discrete]
16 GB RAM
I’m currently dual booting Windows and Ferdora KDE, game runs fine on windows.
I have installed the rpm fusion nvidia drivers.
Running it through steam with both Proton Experimental and Proton 9.0-4, both work as in the picture.
No idea about the white boxes, but for the very low FPS, are you sure that the game is running using your Nvidia card? The speed would imply it’s using the CPU to render frames.
Have you have installed the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion and have you had a look at switcherooctl to ensure that the discrete card is used for the relevant software ?
The process doesn’t show in nvidia-smi so i guess that’s the case.
i have installed rpm fusion drivers following the “howto”, and switcherooctl returns this:
Device: 0
Name: NVIDIA Corporation AD107M [GeForce RTX™ 4050 Max-Q / Mobile]
Default: yes
Discrete: yes
Environment: __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT=nvidia
I have no idea how to make it stop using the CPU tho.
I had assumed that your CPU has a graphics chipset built in but it doesn’t appear to have, as far as I can tell.
Therefore, I’m not even sure you’ll have any need for switcheroo, as it’s primarily used to encourage software from running on the integrated GPU and force it onto the discrete GPU… and you don’t appear to have any integrated GPU.
Okay I uninstalled the flatpak version of steam and installed the rpm one and that seems to have fixed the issue.
have you updated flatpaks after installing/updating the nvidia driver?
flatpak update will detect a new or updated nvidia driver and download the appropriate nvidia libraries.
e.g:
$ modinfo -F version nvidia
590.48.01
$ flatpak list |grep ^nvidia
nvidia-590-48-01 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-590-48-01 1.4 system
