Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to ask.

Hello, everyone. I've recently gotten back into NixOS and immediately noticed that NVIDIA is buggy. (no surprise there) I've searched far and wide and it seems that no one else has these bugs? (I am most likely wrong though) I've gone mad trying to fix these two.

Here's some extra info:

This is not distro exclusive, i've tried on fresh installs too.

I am using 565 with an RTX 3060 gpu.

I am on wayland/hyprland.

Curiously enough, this doesn't happen on native games such as Metro 2033 or HOI4, only on proton.

apologies for the shitty gameplay and recording, and thanks.

try disabling the gsp, helped a lot with weird stutters on my system (kde/plasma, wayland, 3090, 565 driver).

IIRC it was just setting NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 to nvidia module

edit: only works for the regular nvidia driver, not for nvidia-open

I disabled it, but nothing changed (i used regular NVIDIA and made sure it was disabled, too), but thank you

[–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

probably asking the obvious, but you did the ... whatever mkinitcpio does, after changing the module's config? Totally derped with that myself and wondered why my new settings didn't take x)

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

I use nixos and it doesn't use mkinitcpio. Rebuid, reboot, and it works. I also made sure I disabled the GSP using nvidia-smi, so I'm sure that it isn't the problem.
