Problems with NVIDIA are increasing for me. Updates brought some performance, but is unstable, or at least not consistent and, at least on my machine, it looks like with kernel 6.0 it got worse.
I updated from 520.56.06 (RPMFusion) to 525.60.11 (Negativo17), but those (below) messages and others have been happening for a while. But lately the only game I was able to play with no problems (crashing, freezing etc.) ESO, is crashing/freezing randomly now. After 10-15 minutes, after one hour, after hours. The system completely freezes when the game freezes for some seconds, and Gnome gets back normal, but the game continues with audio with black screen or a frozen image. Steam is not able to finish/close/force close the game, so I have to use kill, killall or pkill. The act of killing the .exe (eso64.exe), for example, also freezes completely the system for some seconds. Tried also with different version of Proton.
All that and the flickering while on hybrid graphics is very annoying. BUT what is worrying me now are the “165.0 MHz” and “2660.0 MHz maximum pixel clock” messages when the crashes happen. My monitor is a 75Hz one and the screen of my Legion 5i is 120Hz. Few days back, the crash happened and also the screens were both acting when you set the refresh rate wrong (like on CRTs) with some lines on the screen. It never happened before. It happened twice I think, not sure if just those two times, but got me worried.
Should I be worried?
