Love the Lord Of Cinder background from DS3 :) great Video m8 😃

Casual youtubing at 3.40am! Great video thank you :D

I don't think I've tried the brand new driver yet but even my 1050 ti machine runs Wayland quite well with the proprietary driver.

I'm new to Linux, and Wayland was pretty much unusable with my RTX 3060, everything flickered like crazy, especially Steam and games, I even tried different distros like Fedora, KDE Neon and also tried specific Nvidia drivers, but nothing worked, I was pretty much certain I had to unfortunately go back to Windows even though I dislike Windows and love everything about the Linux concepts, and no, using x11 isn't an option to me because it's just too old, I don't have graphical issues with it, but games and even the desktop experience is extremely choppy even at high refresh rates. Then I noticed there was a beta driver number 555, and decided I had to give it a try before switching back to Windows, had a lot of trouble trying to install it in other distros, but managed to easily install it on my Garuda Linux, and everything was magically fixed, I can't describe how everything is just so smooth in my 240hz monitor and I have no graphical issues at all, I can finally stay using Linux.

For the Halo loading issue, you can go into the game files and delete the startup/loading movie. I can't remember the exact directory, but that fixed the issue for me when I was having it.

i thought of trying on this driver, but looked on their website, the one that contains CUDA or in debian repo's are still 555.42.02, so i think i have to wait a little more.

Installed arch two days ago with plasma Wayland and it works perfectly, no issues.

On Pop Os, using wayland and the drivers 555.42.02, I've had almost no issues so far. The only exception is the Jellyfin player opening on a black screen and I can't get it to load at all (most likely a wayland issue rather than a driver issue). Everything else, games included worked with no issues at all. I'm going to wait for Nvidia to add those new drivers to their repo to be able to switch but I don't really expect it to change anything on my side...nothing that would affect me at least.

The 555 stable driver just came out for me today. I didn't have to do all the crazy stuff to get it to work, it just came through as a system update

Ok here is the deal with the stable 555 driver. It is much better than the 550 driver for wayland, i would even consider it usable, however and please bear in mind if have not messed with it too much but.. some issues still exist, some of the same, issues for example the external monitor is still bugged out in steam, i get some checker boarding graphical glitches, that resolve when you change tabs. It will be sorted im sure i would commit to switching to wayland but x11 still has slightly less issues

I am still on 550 due to rpm fusion testing the new drivers. vrr is broken on wayland fir me with my nvidia GPU on kde 6.1 wayland. It does set the wrong refreshrate for the monitor which makes everything even worse. Also can't i render anything on another GPU and shiw it via my nvidia gpu if i have IOMMU active. Forza also does crash after some time with my old 2060 but it doesn't crash anymire on my 4090 which is weird. The nvidia drivers are kinda broken for me on X11, i can't use a HDMI 2.1 device on 4K120 and other monitors and on wayland do i need to hotplug that monitor.

Hey, thermal-throttling can be a problem as i pointed to you on the last video. Lower fps, lower frequencies, stutter, frametime inconsistency, hang etc. Nvidia driver for wayland is completely usable but not perfect i have to admit but keep in mid that your experience is affected by your "faulty" gpu. 😄

i have a 165hz monitor but dont have vrrr enabled (dont have the diplayport cable yet, just HDMI) you said if you dont use Freesync even with just 1 monitor , it feels like crap? Can you elaborate? do i need to go get a displayport cable ASAP and get vrrr for my single monitor? Games do kinda feel weird and input laggy even at 165 hz currently. i use nvidia wayland kde

Good to see nvedia getting better would you recommend pop os i tried Ubuntu i wasn't a fan of it for gaming

I'd really love to try these new drivers for the Nvidia cards but my Pascal 1050Ti isn't supported and I don't have any other GeForce cards as I switched to AMD. So I'm out of luck here.

garuda linux got the 555.58 driver running it in wayland, and the issue Im having is with mangohud, only works with same games. linux native games wont work and other games just get a black screen with sound

i really like it but can't find any fan control for my nvidia 3060. i just installed Fedora today and tinkering with this since this morning ahaha

I was using the 555.58 driver on plasma 6.1 wayland earlier and I have to say it was the exact opposite of your experience, I had visual glitches with steam UI, plasma windows being laggy and sometimes even becoming unresponsive and firefox kept crashing. Probably to be expected on a beta driver lol but I've now switched back to 550

My few final hurdles: multi monitor VRR. I have a script to disable other monitor on a keybind for gaming but I'm too embarrassed to tell my mates I have to disable my other monitors to game on linux. Also Frame gen isn't supported by nvidia on linux.

Went back to X11.. the XWayland bridge often crashed (ICARUS was biggest offender but its also the games fault since its poorly optimized but doesn't crash on X11) or had peculiar visual glitch performance issues with some game even classics like Counter Strike Source. I agree though the Driver getting better, it fixed some refresh rates issues i had with some games when i ran them under 144hz but i should re-test that part in the future. Spec: Ryzen 9 7900X / RTX 3070 (Driver Version: 555.58.02) / 32GB. EndevourOS (aka 99.997% Arch btw )😏

I had that bug a while ago on nvidia with halo infinite, only solution was to run it in windowed mode set in the config file

I'm unable to boot after installing nvidia 555.58.02 on my fedora 40 gnome

Under Arch Linux, 555.58 makes KDE 6.1.1 crash under heavy use. Not even beta did that, so IDK. And still no RTX Super Resolution and no RTX HRD...

Better idea is to use integrated GPU for desktop rendering and just let nVidia sit and wait for game or app rendering (use it like hybrid graphics on laptops)

When you switch distros. Can you record the process please?

RTX4070 on Fedora, Far Cry 5 stopped working (even to guys on protondb) and on Wayland when i load Call to Arms Ostfront, while game is caching to VRAM, about 10GB Wayland crashes. Wayland is overall much improvement in system, but on gamer side its worse.

First. Is that Garuda? if so, is the new driver already included?

Hey, I want to switch to Linux. What distro should I use at the beginning? VRR is important to me, and HDR

can you send the link of the wallpaper

Hey! Do you use RTX video super resolution and RTX HDR? is there a way to enable and use those features in Linux? thanks.

When is this going to be released in Ubuntu/Mint?

How I can use frame generation on rtx 40 in linux ?

Hey there, After I update the Nvidia game Driver, I feel Shutter and LAG on GTA V and it gives low fps 50-60 FPS on the other hand, before update it gives 100-110 FPS on my Nvidia RTX 2050... How it will fix ??

The 555.58 driver let my desktop all laggy and with some glitches, the desktop experience is horrible, im using fedora btw

Didn't see the video yet but yeah it works on my machine. I just miss global hotkeys

uninstalled nobara days ago very disappointing os and gaming experience nobara runs very slow and steam games wont launch even proton is installed the button just keep switching color between blue and green tried alot ways to fix that but finally i gave up and reinstalled win11

The latest version of OBS is broken, unfortunately

My main rig has been a laptop with a i9-11980HK/RTX 3080 Mobile for almost 2 years, and I just built an All-AMD Mini ITX rig with a 7950X3D and 7900XTX. I've been team green since the 5950 Ultra (last-gen AGP) so I think I can give fair criticism to NVIDIA. Conclusion / TLDR: I'm done-done with them... unless their drivers become the stuff of legend, or something. The things you mention is just scratching the surface of the problems with NVIDIA nowadays. Rationale: I've had two laptops now where the kernel had no support for CPU or GPU fan control. NONE. The fans would stay at 0 RPM, and this was not obvious. On my most recent laptop I have to use a 3rd party fan control suite (MSI) and manually adjust turbo/etc for the game. Prior to figuring this out, only a handful of games would work, and all of them had thermal throttling issues / stutter, horrific frame timing, just a bad gaming experience. I didn't know how bad it was until I started getting AMD handhelds- GPD Win Max, GPD Win Mini. Those have low power AMD chips and yet ran many games faster at the same resolution than a 3080. And even at lower framerates, it "feels" smoother be it Wayland or X11. Still do with fans maxed. NVIDIA Optimus laptops have serious, serious issues. Switching graphics is not obvious or easy and you will be fighting half the time trying to figure out if the problem is that your game is running on the Intel iGPU. I built an all-AMD rig for the first time a few months ago... its night and day difference. 32:9 240hz displays, HDR, 4k resolutions.... everything, and I mean everything, just works, and its smoother than butter. Games I "sucked" at, I can actually play a bit. Now I know that the jerkiness isn't normal, its a failure of the hardware/software and I won't put up with it for a second longer.

i was getting xwayland crashes with 555 on all games, gave up and bought a a770, now i cant even game cuz the intel vulkan implementation is trash 😎😎

Bro let me tell you right now, you need to do an OBS tutorial for Linux users with AMD GPUs for both Recording and Streaming settings. There is NOBODY out on KZfaq right now with a simple, up to date and easy to understand tutorial that explains how to do it right. So many bad tutorials and even worse videos with outdated information. I know that you're capable of doing this.

Thanks for making linux more mainstream. Microsoft has eliminated itself from my consideration for next OS and Apple isn’t different enough with their AI data scrubbers impending. Linux seems like the only tebable option left.

resolution: get amd

Ha nope still broken just like fucking wayland black screen or just everything flickering or aritfecting like crazy cant even play factorio....... (wayland suck on laptops)

I Need Debian to Properly use AMD Legacy drivers and Not give me a Black Screen. I cant afford Nice new Video Cards, I had Kiddos like a Dummy LOL
