Which is to say, much better than it was 2+ years ago but still could do with some improvements. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Same here also on a 1080, but with the closed-source drivers. There's some issue they've had for at least the 6ish months I've been using it where with my dual screen setup sometimes hangs. Apparently it's a known bug and they haven't fixed it. It hits me about once every couple of weeks these days. Other than that it has run every game I've tried as well as Windows. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Ah yeah, I know the one you mean. It seems to be intermittently fixed but I've just rolled-back when it causes issues. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) It seems better now than it was a few months ago. Back then it actually locked up my machine if I triggered the bug. Now it just temporarily slows things down. But, I haven't gambled on running a few apps that would regularly trigger it just in case. What's funny is that modern Steam games are no problem, but it's running emulated games using Emulation Station that causes problems. Games from 2024, no problem. Games from 1984?

For the drivers are you using Open GPU? I still have to look into the 1080s compatibility with this.

It's because the microcode that NVIDIA wants to keep proprietary is within the GPU on later series, rather than the driver. permalink fedilink source parent [–] marcie@lemmy.ml [S] 3 points 11 months ago* (1 child) Bazzite has a build for the older proprietary nvidia drivers, I'm pretty sure 1080s dont get the open source variant of the driver unfortunately 😔 https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this is the download for the proprietary nvidia kde iso https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this one is for gnome I don't know how well the proprietary driver runs, I assume if you got it running on another linux distro this will work fine permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Entertain529@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Thanks!
