I am using a 1080 Ti and its meh, I sometimes have screen tearing issues, sleep/hibernate doesn't work anymore and letting it choose the iGPU and GPU based off of the current needs also does not work, so I just run the iGPU most of the time (it doesn't have the screen tearing issue).

I'm thinking of doing a fresh install, maybe a different distro, as the setup is quite old and bloated by now, but I'm not looking forward to reinstalling everything I actually need/use.

3080ti on fedora here and no issues either

I use a GTX 970, I can play most games just fine.

It's not Windows performance, Cyberpunk 2077 for instance was quite more unstable for me on Arch and it took quite a bit of tweaking to be able to launch it (it's a miracle that I can even play Cyberpunk with a 970 in both cases :P). Generally though I've had a pretty good experience, most games play out of the box with good performance, and I get to daily drive Linux finally

Cyberpunk can run on a 1050 Mobile. We are making the game seem a much larger beast.

It can run yeah, but it's not a playable performance at all. A friend of mine played a bit of Cyberpunk with a 1050 on Windows, all the latest drivers and a relatively good build other than the graphics card, but he quickly got tired from running it with 20-30 FPS (all settings on low with 720p)

Didn't find it myself as an issue. I play a LOT of older 3D titles (3D Nintendo Switch games), and most are locked at 30 or even 25.

But am I mistaken, or I remember Cyberpunk being more about CPU than GPU? I got an Intel i7-8750H

[–] iByteABit@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It is very CPU heavy but also made for next gen graphics cards, and 20-30 fps is way too little for a fast paced first person game

I have a Nvidia Tesla K80 and couldn't even set it up on Windows

I use linux with nvidia hardware, and its not that bad. Just remember to click “allow proprietary software” when you install your OS.

Some software can get problematic, such as Hyprland and Sway, but games are fine.

I mean, I’d have a better experience with AMD, but even with nvidia, I’m having a better experience than windows. especially considering I don’t have to use their shitty driver downloader

Why would that be a problem?

I bought a 3060 ti for my new pc and I am going to install tumbleweed on it, Nvidia is not as hard to configure as people say

True. There are even distros that do it for you. PopOS or EndeavourOS (has a nvidia boot option when installing). I just did a fresh EndeavourOS install and it's amazing. I have an RTX 3060 btw
But sure, AMD would be better still. Fuck Nvidia and all that 100%
