Kthis too
Hso there is a chance gamemode might work using the opensource drivers down the line
ASo, I have to wait for nvk to make supported for bazzite deck?
KI'd say it's a guarantee
Kor upgrade, yeah
Kthat's the choice
MI agree that downgrading just to use game mode doesn’t make much sense in real world usage
Mit would be one thing if you were after better performance or something like immediate HDR compatibility
Mbut you’d be getting worse performance with a weaker gpu
ANot really I noticed zero bottleneck if I use my max resolution monitor
ASpecially with that gpu I asked about rx 6600
K6600 is a considerable downgrade from a 2070
Kany amount of money spent on a 6600 while you own a 2070 is wasted money
Kand I love AMD
AIs it because memory bus speed?
Kit's because the card is slower
Kin every aspect
Kthey are simply not the same class of GPU
AIs it hard to find gpu to match my current psu and cpu tdp
_so I just started having this issue where sometimes when I start my PC and log in, there's no task manager and I can't click anything. I have to use hotkeys to log out and then restart the PC to get it to show again. anybody knwo what might be causing that?
K6600 XT will work on 500W, again though that is not worth the money given your current GPU
Ksave up, get a newer GPU later and a better PSU
Kor wait for NVK
Mthe problem is you’re comparing something like an Audi S5 to a Honda Civic Sport as equivalents… has nothing to do with TDP or power usage really. they are very different cards like Kyle is saying.
Meven if it would work in your setup, that doesn’t mean it’s worth the money to get worse performance right now
Ka 1990s porsche might be slower in a straightaway than a 2015 civic, but it's still a porsche
Kapt comparison
AWell I prefer performance in good value but I could try get new mobo or psu, gpu will cost me lot more than official price
Kthere's no good value the current route you're going
Kso if you want performance in good value, wait and save up
T@DarkSkill is this solely for game mode, waydroid, and/or leaving the proprietary nvidia drivers
AI had lot problems with nvidia since day one
Ain games play just fine but has unusual issues which is uncommon
Tdoesn't sound too bad to downgrade your hardware
Ti mean
Tlike it doesnt sound too bad at all
AI had a 1080TI that caused lots of issues with gamescope-session, I eventually swapped to AMD.
Best decision ever, my desktop is now a nice little steam machine.
Best decision ever, my desktop is now a nice little steam machine.
Ain my opinion, sometimes extra performance isn't worth the maintenance headache
Abut that's up to the end user
Tthe 6600 is a downgrade for sure, but... it does play games and has vulkan support 
Anote that I did this swap well before bazzite existed
Awas using chimeraOS at the time, it still supported Nvidia back then
Abut was 100% worth it for me personally
Tmy experience with nvidia on linux from before the last year wasn't awful. it ran games, but AMD was a lot better for sure. i guess it depends on how you weigh it. you are getting a worse performing GPU than what you currently have overall but if you really want game mode, proper wayland support, and better GPU drivers right now then maybe it's fine
TNVK might be really mature within the year though and you might regret your decision lol
AIssue was when I play games I can see gpu led light flickering quite unusual and I had bad experience with drivers even installed right way so linux solved that issue expect the flicker part
M…duct tape?
MI’m confused now
Ti never owned this fancy of a graphics card
