Hi all, back with another issue.
After the 580.105.08 NVIDIA driver update, my software refuses to acknowledge my RTX 3050M GPU, despite all the drivers (apparently) working normally.
Some further examples are:
- Prism Launcher (launcher for Minecraft) can’t properly detect my GPU, it keeps using my Intel integrated graphics card. When I force it to use the discrete GPU through GNOME, it detects something called
llvmpipe which seems to be just software rendering.
- The UNIGINE Superposition benchmark I specifically installed for this occasion cannot detect my VRAM, instead detecting it as just N/A. It also runs at 6FPS at 1080p Medium, which for a card with 4GB VRAM, should be absurd.
- Steam GUI won’t work unless I use the Intel integrated graphics.
I am happy to provide further information if needed. Thank you all so much.
Yes, that solved some of the problem. Thank you. Now my flatpak games are working well. However, that still doesn’t solve my Superposition benchmark (I installed it thru a .run file) and Steam not showing anything when launched with the discrete GPU (by default) though.
I had some issues with steam and the nvidia drivers. I was able to fix that by downgrading the newer drivers (580.105.08) back to the level released with f43.
- enable the rpmfusion-nonfree repos as shown at rpmfusion.
- downgrade the driver to the 580.95.05 release
sudo dnf downgrade akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia --allowerasing
or
sudo dnf downgrade \*nvidia\* --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware --disablerepo \* --enablerepo rpmfusion-nonfree --allowerasing

Thank you, this REALLY did the trick! All my programs are working well now. After another flatpak update from comment #2, everything is now working! Thanks, everyone! Guess I’ll be waiting for the next driver update.
