I'm having trouble running Steam games on my dedicated GPU, is this the right command?

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 9:58 PM

The game even tells me it's running with Nvidia, but nvidia-smi tells me it isn't

switcheroo is automatic

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 9:59 PM

And performance also leads me to believe it's using integrated graphics

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 9:59 PM

you never need to add it

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 9:59 PM

Then how do I make a game run on Nvidia

MMay Noi Then how do I make a game run on Nvidia

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 9:59 PM

steps are:

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 9:59 PM

1: open steam
2: launch game

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 9:59 PM

Because it's definitely not happening automatically

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 9:59 PM

unless something is wrong

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 10:00 PM

you can confirm which GPU is "dedicated" with

switcherooctl list

switcherooctl list

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:00 PM

This is the output of nvidia-smi with the game open

MMay Noi This is the output of nvidia-smi with the game open

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 10:00 PM

steam is running on it, so switcheroo is definitely working

KKyle Gospo you can confirm which GPU is "dedicated" with `switcherooctl list`

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:00 PM

It's ID 1

MMay Noi It's ID 1

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 10:01 PM

yup, looks good

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:01 PM

Then why is the game not listed on SMI?

MMay Noi Then why is the game not listed on SMI?

Kyle Gospo•5/6/24, 10:01 PM

try nvtop instead

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:02 PM

Huh, nvtop gives the correct info

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:03 PM

Performance is really bad tho, which is surprising

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:08 PM

No I'm not going insane

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:08 PM

Even with the game open the dedicated card isn't doing anything

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:09 PM

That's so... Weird

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:09 PM

I do use a custom image but I just install extra software with bluebuild, it shouldn't be messing with this

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/6/24, 10:11 PM

you could def test to see if this is an issue with the custom image apporach by rebasing to the regular bazzite image and seeing if it still happens

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:11 PM

supergfxctl also tells me it's fine

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:11 PM

I'll try that

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:20 PM

Actually, this might be a problem witht he game itself?

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:20 PM

This is Hades II, as the screenshots show, and I just launched Neon White to test that

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:21 PM

And it works fine

char•5/6/24, 10:22 PM

wait it's out????

CrimTung•5/6/24, 10:23 PM

I have Bazzite on a headless Nvidia (1650 Max-Q) laptop, and I have very buggy audio, video shows fine. I have Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output selected, and testing it, only front left has audio, and it's very grainy sounding

3L0_•5/6/24, 10:25 PM

does anyone here have killing floor 2 (running)

3L0_•5/6/24, 10:26 PM

i'm having trouble on the epic version, bought the steam version , still black screen

SafSaf•5/6/24, 10:27 PM

Why can't I use nextdns client on bazzite?

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:34 PM

Yeah the original Hades also works fine

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:35 PM

Only Hades II refuses to actually use my dedicated GPU

Cchar wait it's out????

May NoiOP•5/6/24, 10:35 PM

Early access

CCrono Why not allow processing in the background?

gezellig•5/6/24, 11:54 PM

This doesn't seem to help lol

gezellig•5/6/24, 11:55 PM

I'm guessing this is an nvidia bug but has anyone found a fix for this?

gezellig•5/6/24, 11:55 PM

not just terminal, sometimes other apps too

Ggezellig I'm guessing this is an nvidia bug but has anyone found a fix for this?

Prinny•5/7/24, 12:03 AM

Prinny•5/7/24, 12:03 AM

if so try not sure if it's a one time thing though in which ill defer to anyone else

Ruq•5/7/24, 12:06 AM

Hey, after the update, I noticed a couple of my games started having issues: Risk of Rain 2 has random crashes after a few minutes of playing, and Helldivers 2 seems to have trouble launching if it launches at all.
