z3rOR0ne , in Recommended tools for monitoring CPU / GPU temps?

I just use btop, and even though they recently added GPU diagnostics, there’s also nvtop.

For GUI tools, there’s cpu-x and for Nvidia GPUs, there’s gwe, but I honestly barely use them in preference of btop and nvtop.

muhyb ,

I use btop + nvtop in tmux as well. Though btop recently added a GPU section, not detailed as nvtop but does the job if you only want to run btop.

Have you tried creating a custom page with the plasma system monitor?


<span style="color:#323232;">plasma-systemmonitor
</span>

You can create a new page to monitor all your temps, then add rows for each sensor you want to monitor, select the chart type or text and then select the sensor itself.

I’m sure there are plenty of guides on how to set it up to get what you want.

aksdb , in open source amd GPU driver issues

Give firmware-git a shot. There are some fixes in it that are not in firmware yet.

If that doesn’t solve it: for “underclocking” you would have to set a kernel param to enable it. I had a good experience with lact. They also explain the necessary setup in their README. In my case the GPU was running with higher limits than the vendor specified. I simply clocked it back to these specs and it seemed to have worked fine so far. It’s a different GPU, though.

If that also doesn’t solve it: do you have Windows as dual boot option? Can you try the same games there? If that is also unstable, I would suspect hardware issues.

Thatoneguy OP ,

I think I finally have it all figured out. I was previously using corectrl to monitor and adjust the GPU but lact has so much more info and adjustment. I immediately saw the card flapping between clock speeds under load. I applied the only high clock speeds setting and that all stopped the voltage stayed constant. However and this is why I didn’t realize with corectrl is that the card was now thermal throttling causing an undervolt condition. I went in cleaned out the dust bunny’s, dislodged a sata cable from one of the fans and relocated some hard drives for more airflow. The card now runs at a toasty 85 under load which from my past amd experience is perfectly fine. Thank you for the help kind stranger.

aksdb ,

Good to hear to got it solved. Enjoy your GPU again 🙂

Just a question. We see it supports X or Y new games, or improve Z or A games. But does those change are made specifically for those games, or do they improve the code in general and it affects older and ancients games ?

priapus ,

usually these fixes are made because of problems with certain games or software, but also improve the wines overall compatibility with the windows api

okamiueru , in if this succeeds, WMR headsets might be made Linux compatible and this will turn out to have been on-topic

When not even Valve can muster enough motivation, I wouldn’t hold my breath on Microsoft.

F04118F OP ,

Valve actively maintains SteamVR and put in a lot of work for Linux compatibility. Doing that while open sourcing the software is hard. It adds work.

However, open sourcing an abandoned piece of software costs virtually nothing, and can be a big image boost.

DAMunzy ,

You’re wrong about open sourcing abandoned software being easy.

You have never used SteamVR on Linux, have you?

Are you sure about this?

okamiueru ,

Sure? No. It was silly of me to suggest it was a question of motivation. I don’t know enough about it to make any such assumptions.

I did however give it another go earlier this year, with no success. I could try again if there is reason to think it should work. Valve is the company I respect the most when it comes to caring about Linux. Which is why it always surprised me that I couldn’t use the Vive there. Still one of the very few reasons left for dual booting.

Botzo , in Is there an easy way to trick games into scaling?

gamescope sounds like exactly what you’re looking for.

raptir OP ,

Awesome, thanks. I will dig into it.

raptir ,

Just wanted to report back that this worked perfectly.

Botzo ,

That’s great! I’m glad it was that easy.

raptir ,

For any one who finds it in the future - I just set a Steam launch with gamescope set to half my native resolution, fullscreen and enabled fsr. Games run at the weird 1128x752 and FSR makes it look even better but I get great performance.

jemand771 , in Rockstar Launcher error 134 with Heroic Games Launcher

This is really weird. I started seeing the same thing a couple of days ago, and switching Proton versions (latest/experimental, or even to wine) didn’t help. I also bit the bullet of completely reinstalling the game, without success.

The common “fix” for this posted online seems to be to change your DNS server or use a VPN. I’ve looked at my DNS traffic, it’s fine. Haven’t gotten around to trying a VPN yet. (the hypothesis being that rockstar IP-banned you for some reason. doesn’t make sense either, because I’m able to log in to the launcher initially)

i guess i will have to try in windows then

prettydarknwild OP , (edited )
@prettydarknwild@lemmy.world avatar

i looked on the reddit community and it seems to be a weird interaction between the rockstar launcher and heroic, looks like it works on lutris and someone mentioned a trick to make gta v work, i didnt tried any of those tricks, im going to try on windows first to make sure i didnt got banned due to some weird reason (although it shouldnt be the case, since i havent touched the online at all)

perishthethought , in Open-Source NVIDIA Driver Moving To NVK + Zink For OpenGL On Newer GPUs

I-know-some-of-those-words.jpg

As a regular user / game player on Linux, how does this affect me?

Unyieldingly ,

it means once all of this is added to the desktop OS you use, it will be plug and play for Nvidia GPU’s.

mox ,

Approximately not at all. They’re changing the way they implement OpenGL for those cards, which will make their development and maintenance work simpler.

vividspecter OP , (edited )

Basically, it means recent Nvidia GPUs will become viable using open drivers sooner, since developers won’t need to update/port the older open OGL driver, and can instead just use Zink (OGL -> Vulkan wrapper). OGL support itself is important because accelerated compositors (like those that use Wayland such as recent Gnome/KDE etc) and older games native games rely on it, as well as many other pieces of a typical Linux desktop.

In the long run, competitive open drivers will mean greater longevity for these cards. There are AMD cards that are pushing 15+ years that are still usable today because they have open drivers.

LupertEverett ,
@LupertEverett@lemmy.world avatar

If you’re using the proprietary drivers: Absolutely nothing will change for you.

If you’re using the Nouveau/NVK drivers: Soon the OpenGL driver will be entirely replaced by Zink, which implements OpenGL over Vulkan (think DXVK, but for OpenGL); as the aforementioned driver is in a quite broken state, and nothing short of a complete rewrite can “revive” it.

Sooo… if you’re already able to use NVK, you’ll keep using NVK, but this time you can utilise it for OpenGL applications as well.

perishthethought ,

Thank you. That helped a lot. (I am still using the Nvidia proprietary driver, so… yeah)

I had issues installing it with Lutris for whatever reason. This one works wonders for me.

I also had the same problem. How does it work? @coreball

Willdrick , in What's your experience with gaming using Elementary OS?

Used to run eOS several years ago, as I was coming off using OSX. I quickly realised it was more of a skin deep imitation and ended up switching to gnome, that keeps all the drag&drop actions across all apps. If you have some spare time, give fedora a go, which comes with a vanilla gnome install. Flatpaks are well integeated, speedy tested updates and installing nvidia drivers is 2 clicks on the software app (scroll down on the main page to see the “drivers” section)
