proudly showing off that GT1030
Right? I might have an old GTX970 I could part with if old boy here wants a drastic upgrade.
Considering that it says Windows for IoT Enterprise I don't think he only needs a GPU for video output.
😄 I just got a GTX 980 out of pity for free from a friend 🥳 first time 4k60Hz gaming in my live, lol
Now I just need to get wine/proton working. Steam titles already work 😍 but I have not get bottles (installed using yay) to work yet.
gtx 980 gang! I got mine free my from the dad of my ex back in like 2019
🥳have you tried Wayland with it? (Running Arch GNOME with proprietary drivers, but mostly Xorg due to gaming)
I have a little bit, but due to gaming I stick with Xorg. also I just use i3wm nowadays which helps me get better performance in some games
I see 😄 I’ll remember that, if I have a game comming to it’s limit
baldur's gate 3 was really unstable with gnome for me, and the fps was like half of what it's supposed to be. but with i3 I get decent fps and it's really stable! I'm not that sure about other games because I havent been paying attention to the fps but I feel the performance is generally better. no other game has shown that drastic change though :D
Nice! I’m more the retro gamer😄 I love being finally able to play wii/GC upscaled to 4k 😁
Right now, I’m fighting with old windows games on iso to get them running (have tried with bottles and lutris without success) now I learned that one can run exe using steam, let’s see if I play rubiks games tonight 😂
Any idea why that would be? I mean RAM limitations could be the issue but otherwise im pretty confused as to why this might happen.
I have no clue. I've been wondering the same thing, since I have 16gb ram so ram shouldn't be the issue
Hmm with modern games like BG3 you might run into some limitations with 16GB. Online I'm reading that BG3 uses 25GB of RAM. Might be that the few MB a DE uses are just enough to kick something important into the swap file or something.
I don't think that's it, I just checked out and the game only takes around 25-26% ram and it was running reasonably well with 4,5gb ram already taken. that 25gb ram sounds like someone is playing the game with 4k graphics or something. bg 3 lists only 8gb ram as mimimum requirement and 16gb is recommended
edit: I don't know if gnome takes up some grpahics card or cpu resources which affect the game performance since it's a lot bigger program than i3wm
I see, then it shouldn't be the RAM.
I've used gnome on a relatively new machine and it seemed like it was working fine. Maybe I just didn't notice the performance hit, or maybe it's the same with KDE. Definitely odd though.
yeah it's quite odd. but at least I want to use i3wm anyways so it doesnt really matter
