Hi,
As per title, I’ve installed a new gpu. I tried to just insert it assuming that the existing Nvidia drivers which worked fine would just take over the reigns, however it doesn’t work.
Games are able to start fine but once I start them, usually via Steam Flatpak, they get into initial menus and such but either run at 1fps or never reach the game at all. My 5800x is usually pinned at 85-100% utilisation on all cores. The GPU on the other hand is barely being touched, and I’m not noticing any flatpak apps appearing in the memory section of nvidia-smi, only normal packaged apps like firefox.
I’ve tried to remove all nvidia drivers and reinstall them all using the below commands but i’ve still got exactly the same issue.
sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\*
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
This is my nvidia-smi output:

I’m wondering if It’s related to flatpak and steam because I’ve got firefox installed as a non flatpak and that shows up in the GPU memory when running nvidia-smi, however flatpaks don’t. I ran a flatpak remove --unused
and it came up with this traumatising list, not sure if it’s going to break any flatpak apps if I run it, although I’ve got snapshots running and should just try it!
FYI, my flatpak nvidia drivers, if it helps…

Any ideas?
