how do i disable v sync i have dissable it in game but still only getting 60 fps at max

like-gold•2y ago

you are in wayland, so.. you are locked at 60.. i dont use wayland so cant really tell you what to do, but google has lots of hits about disabling vsync in wayland, but seems thats not without its own set of issues

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

Can you connect me to some one who might have idea

deep-jade•2y ago

No, i use wayland and get 1000 fps if i want. Problem what you heard about is ( what you think as is ) there was no tearing protocol until recently so you would get your frames but since each prame was perfect ( hence no tearing ) it would come with latency penalty Using Kde Wayland here btw, i get 300-250 fps on Arch with 7900 xtx 1440p maxed out- no fsr

like-gold•2y ago

right so some setting in wayland to disable/alter its vsync behavior

deep-jade•2y ago

Nope, no setting needed. Setting is needed for allowing tearing but no setting needed for high fps inxi -SMGxx Give me this output

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

Give me 10min

like-gold•2y ago

sure does sound like something is locking at 60 😄 vsync is a good go to.. could be enabled on driver as well and be indepentent of wayland

deep-jade•2y ago

Yep, that is why i ask for that output inb4 Nvidia memes again

like-gold•2y ago

my guess would be nvidia too 😛

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

like-gold•2y ago

so install it

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

ok doki

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

wait lol my gpu was off let me enable and resend the thing

deep-jade•2y ago

Yes, llvmpipe says you were doing rendering on cpu 🐸

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

deep-jade•2y ago

Now that's better Any changes in game perf?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

no i did test both way beffor even openning a support request if you want i can just re run the game

deep-jade•2y ago

Tikit, i like it. vulkan_driver add this to your mangohud cfg and also run this when game is on: watch -n 0.5 nvidia-smi

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

🤯you lost me here

deep-jade•2y ago

In which part, ain't complicated 🐸

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

where can i find mangohud config i download it with pacman

deep-jade•2y ago

https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud?tab=readme-ov-file#hud-configuration But that thing is not crucial Just do nvidia-smi thing And post screenshot of it

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

when game is running in background ?

deep-jade•2y ago

Yes Background or foreground

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

when i am in main manu

deep-jade•2y ago

Somehow something keeps you at P5 perf level, normally it should be P8 or something for full perf iirc

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

when i am in practice match

deep-jade•2y ago

Yep Your power management is borked, gpu doesn"t clock as much it should be

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

ya i guess i am using a software to improve my bettry performance but i did set it to performance

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

deep-jade•2y ago

🤷‍♂️Check other games to see if same thing happens Governor override is related to cpu btw Not gpu

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i dont have fast internet 😢 so it take time to download games ooh could it be my gpu drivers

deep-jade•2y ago

To rule it out, better use this script to install the driver you want. https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-run-the-installer

deep-jade•2y ago

Go with dkms and closed kernel options Usage is very easy

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

which one should i pik ?

deep-jade•2y ago

Try 2 first As 535 is older And yes, that is same as one you got from arch repos

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i did y is their a way to make process fast ? of compiling

deep-jade•2y ago

You should have done N imo but that would still work

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

now its P8

deep-jade•2y ago

And perf ?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

lol i am human give some time to test things

deep-jade•2y ago

:sunglase:

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

should i restart

deep-jade•2y ago

Didn't you already? Yes

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

you are the most effert help supporter i even met XD

deep-jade•2y ago

:CatYeah:

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

:< no improvement still same

deep-jade•2y ago

Hmm, set game to windowed mode or borderless window

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

but game got smoother XD ok performence go down

deep-jade•2y ago

Ha, so windowing options affects perf somehow.

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

yup

deep-jade•2y ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/17byrbv/comment/k5nmf0i/ Found this, someone says hyprland perf sucks with that game 🐸 While kde is normal It should be easy enough to test, you can install kde, test with it, see how it goes https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE 1.1 tells how to do it After that you can start with whichever you want via your session manager

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i did talk to the one devloper and he said his games work fine

deep-jade•2y ago

They can say that But your machine is yours So your experience might differ

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

hmmm i did played this game on endeavour os ones on my system and it was putting 90 to 100 fps on high settings :>

deep-jade•2y ago

I use Endeavour too :Pandaexcited:

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i used it in past

deep-jade•2y ago

Anyways, try with kde

like-gold•2y ago

i just stick to my arch xorg and bspwm and pretty much everything works without issue .. sounds like a lot of futzing for hyperland ..

deep-jade•2y ago

If it works there , go to hyprland devs and say "i want to speak with your manager"

like-gold•2y ago

iirc wasnt there a hyperland nvidia patch or something

deep-jade•2y ago

🤷‍♂️

like-gold•2y ago

i think i've seen folks talk about it, might be worth a look

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

well hyprland is still new

like-gold•2y ago

yep, so you are paying the cost anyway pretty sure there's a nvidia patch that may address some weirdness not sure if it fixes this, but most folks seem to suggest it for nvidia

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

yoo i just downloaded plasma-meta and it is not showing in my mannager i heard resently hyrland is now supported on nvidea and not need any work around

deep-jade•2y ago

Did it install bunch of other packages as well or no?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

yes it did something

deep-jade•2y ago

To enable support for Wayland in Plasma, also install the plasma-wayland-session package. If you are an NVIDIA user with the proprietary nvidia driver, also enable the DRM kernel mode setting. If that does not work, too, check the instructions on the KDE wiki.

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

deep-jade•2y ago

So whatever mirror you're getting it from is busted i guess

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i am usingh pacman same on yay

deep-jade•2y ago

pacman is package manager, not a mirror. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/mirrors

Force pacman to refresh the package lists

Mirrors can be out of sync and the package list from the old mirror may not correspond to the package list of the new mirror, even though the dates of the lists may suggest that they do.

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

fixed 🙂 just sync the pakage game is not lounching tested one more small game also didnt work

deep-jade•2y ago

With kde wayland?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

kde

deep-jade•2y ago

Is it kde wayland tho So that is not a valid answer

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

plasma

deep-jade•2y ago

Check inxi -SMGxx output again Because your answers are completelt unrelated to what i ask 🐸

Launch game with this

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

ok sir didnt work

deep-jade•2y ago

That is weird and unexpected. Launch steam itself via terminal and launch game from UI and see what steam complains about

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

nothing diferent steam starts fine i go and click on game it shows running then dies

deep-jade•2y ago

Output in the terminal matters Otherwise why would i tell you to check what steam complains about

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

okok

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

message.txt

deep-jade•2y ago

Meh, not that helpful. It dies right at launch after doing some shader cache operations. Show me the screenshot of your game launch options

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

ok stupid question how to take ss in plasma ? kde

deep-jade•2y ago

Just hit printscreen key

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

big bran but not working

deep-jade•2y ago

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/spectacle/ Install this It seems this meta package contains it https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/kde-graphics-meta/ So you won't have it if plasma meta package doesn't install that

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

deep-jade•2y ago

You don't have an additional %command% too that is a left over from your mangohud right?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

no i removed

deep-jade•2y ago

Odd. sudo pacman -Syu vulkan-tools

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only vkcube

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only vkcube

nvidia-smi when cube is spinning

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only vkcube this in new lounch option ?

deep-jade•2y ago

No, you should use terminal for that Not steam or game related

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

still game not running i did tested it in hyprland it works fine there with low fps

deep-jade•2y ago

I said when cube is spinning, cube didn't work with those env vars?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

there is no cube

deep-jade•2y ago

Just do vkcube only Does it work?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

..[$] <( (git)-[master]-)> vkcube Selected GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, type: DiscreteGpu [1] 96114 segmentation fault (core dumped) vkcube it opens window then closes/crashes

deep-jade•2y ago

sudo pacman -S vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader sudo pacman -R amdvlk lib32-amdvlk just as a safety measure Then cube again

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

ok same

deep-jade•2y ago

Rip, for some reason on Kde your dgpu goes kaput

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

deep-jade•2y ago

Do you have a X conf file you created manually somewhere?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

deep-jade•2y ago

Not a globally passed env var either i assume?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i am not sure

deep-jade•2y ago

If you didn't put stuff in there, then you are not passing anything on your own. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/environment_variables#Globally

Environment variables

deep-jade•2y ago

Which at this point, i have no idea why kde would be like that 🐸

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

hmmm aren't we going to out form our main problem

deep-jade•2y ago

Go back to hyprland and try to solve perf there But i don't know what else can be done

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

its not about setting new enviroment just for game

deep-jade•2y ago

Especially if that is the only game that does it

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

yaa i guess i will skip on cs2 then i dont game that often and if this problem still stays i will just reinstall arch with an envirment thx for your time though and thx for easy script that install nvidia gpu drivers

deep-jade•2y ago

Yw :CatYeah:

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

@"Leopard" yo sorry to tag let talk a bit

deep-jade•2y ago

Start :sunglase: Lol, i already replied it seems

inxi didnt found XD

deep-jade•2y ago

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

hold you horsis

deep-jade•2y ago

Why on earth or how on earth did you install Snap Heroic then on Arch? Or that screenshot is just old

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

new XD

deep-jade•2y ago

But cannot be as 6.6.9 kernel Ye

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i found a guid and just follow

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

i recently did fresh install of arch 🙂 @"Leopard" it finaly worked you manage to crack it , i guess the firsh comand with vkcube make it work
