Hi, my brother wants to go with Linux and I installed Solus -Budgie. He's platform is: Ryzen 5600X + 3060RTX.
After installing drivers from hardware it's lagging like hell at desktop. Anyone knows a workaround?
sudo nvidia-settings and I try to force Force Force Composition but when I hit apply it always freeze screen and after some time revert back. Any Nvidia users can help me please?

  • Ok, this i solved. Look like setting gen3 manually in bios for PCIE solved the issue.

FAb7D I don't use or support Nvidia besides making sure the Nvidia drivers build during kernel updates. This is for my own mental health, life is too short to deal with Nvidia BS.

I'd recommend you see if there are any open issues here and if not open one.

      WhiteWolf So many PCI-e riser cables are not capable of carrying the full PCI-e 4 bandwidth. However, PCI-e risers are transparent to the motherboard, the motherboard doesn't know that the riser exists as there's no chip or communication built into the riser to tell the motherboard this. So the mobo just sees that the GPU suppports PCI-e 4, and that the slot that the GPU is plugged into supports PCI-e 4 and so sets the connection to PCI-e 4. This causes issues if the cable cannot handle the greater transmit speeds of that, which is solved by setting the connection to PCI-e 3 as you discovered.

      You can also get PCI-e 4 risers that support the full spec. Whether or not this is worth it in your case is debatable, limiting a 3060 to PCI-e 3 likely reduces performance by only a few percent as it's not really bandwidth starved generally.

        ReillyBrogan Ok thanks! I'll do some further investigation and then possibly open a issue.

          zmaint There are some excellent developers like Joey and @Staudey who do have Nvidia hardware and work hard to make sure it works. Maybe I'll switch back to Nvidia some day but for now I'm perfectly happy with my AMD GPU and how compatible all the Linux bits are with it.

              ReillyBrogan ... Joey and @Staudey ..
              Well so now I know who to ask too.

              ...now I'm perfectly happy with my AMD GPU...
              In my case, the damage is already done 😬 ! I'll have to study a little from time to time. But I have to say, for now, never anything serious.
