Nvidia performance is fine on Linux. This post was a joke, look carefully at the neofetch.

71% CPU usage, 49% of which is from WINE doesn't sound like a joke esp when the same game it runs is so old it could probably run on dated specs like literally any windows PCs from the early 2000's. Look at htop.

No really, look at the neofetch. It's a system from 2004.

Fair. I legit had to look up on DDG because I've got no idea what those specs were. I saw geforce with a big number next to it and assumed it was made in 2012 at worst. I can't read AMD version numbers either like who the fuck had the brillant idea to get inspired by Mac's naming convention and name it AMD Athlon XP?

And a game from 1998. Should still run far better than 25fps, although I guess that Wine version must be ancient.

I think that was an acceptable frame rate back then. It was only later than 60fps became the gold standard.

EDIT: This is also probably either software rendering or running Nouveau. I'm fairly sure that the nvidia-drivers that runs on Linux 6.6 doesn't support cards that old.

Man fuck it. I'm uninstalling xfce and going for Cinammon. I'm getting a fucking headache trying to set shit up.

What are you having issues setting up on XFCE?

Goddamn microphone doesn't work an iota of shit. Used pipewire and purged PulseAudio and for some bizarre reason, all I get are these weird buzzing sounds picking up from my mic (using a headphone). Also:

Update on this: worked... once. When launching again (with forced compatibility + patch), it does not launch whatsoever. Fuck sake I'm already stressed trying to set linux up.

Was the mic working in the same port under another OS or DE? I ask because I once spent about four hours unsuccessfully trying to unfuck an audio driver. Turned out, the audio driver was fine. The issue was that my headset was plugged into a headphone jack, not a combo jack. I also just had a buzzing noise, because all that was being picked up was minor electrical interference.

Seems like the combojack is the issue. Because you described it perfectly for me. Still need to find it though.

I have one of these, because my desktop case at the time was ancient and didn't have a combo jack anywhere. I'm an audio sperg, and the audio in and out of this is perfectly adequate to me. If you have a laptop, you might be able to test the headset on the live environment, since they usually have combo jacks for space reasons.

Go back 1 page I essentially ask the same question and I got a few answers.

AFAIK Nvidia doesn't perform too well on linux.

I'm still getting about a 25% performance drop on Linux using my 3070, with lots of stuttering.

Still not feeling this thing.

Which drives do you use? I'm using the Linux Mint recommended Nvidia-535 package but the Nvidia-550 package is out on other distros. The Nvidia-560 is supposed to be the one with open source kernel additions

I just upgraded to 550 and I'm not seeing any real performance improvement, but I only tried Street Fighter 6. Battlefield 1 is my real benchmark game but didn't have the time to download it.

A performance drop like that (with stutters) usually comes from your DE trying to run the compositor on the window you're playing your game on.

What DE are you running?

It was acceptable for newly released games on contemporary hardware, this setup with a 6 year old game should have been capable of hitting at least 50 fps average. I had a similarly specced system at the time that was capable of about 20 fps in HL2 IIRC.
But you are right about the drivers, those in combination with Wine probably fuck the performance into the dirt.

Cinnamon only has a single option to disable the compositor on fullscreen programs, which means dick all because Street Fighter 6 doesn't even have a fullscreen option.

Prey wouldn't even work at my resolution because I have the screen scaling set to 150%


At this point I'm going to have to wait until full nvidia support for wayland. If the trannies can make this shit not function like a duct taped homunculus of an OS, then I welcome it.
