I just tried Torna and it looks great. Even just the removal (o reduction) of the sharpness filter makes the image so much better.

OK first, do you need both iGPU and the Nvidia GPU to be working at the same time?

Not really, that was just how had it set up for other reasons and never changed it.

It’s telling that you can’t even get the official Nvidia drivers working. You then “fix” things by removing the cable from the iGPU after having all these problems and installing the Nouveau drives. I think this could be the source of your problems.

I didn’t install nouveau, it’s also blacklisted. I installed the new nvidia “open” drivers (and libvulkan1) and those do work except for dxvk.

But yea I think I’m gonna do as you said and re-setup everything with only the nvidia gpu, just to be safe.

Yea I missed that paragraph because I followed the manual steps which don’t seem to mention that version of the driver (which is why I though it was outdated). I’ll try reinstalling with that only.

Thanks, I don’t have access to my PC right now, but I did install Vulkan for both 32 and 64 bit and from looking at logs I think it was installed properly.

I’ll try running the gears test, if that works what should I check?

I’ll try ProtonGE too, but neither Valve’s Proton (Experimental I think) nor Soda would work. Currently installed driver is the open driver G06 version 580(probably .95.05, but can’t check right now).

Thanks, that’s the first guide I followed and the module would not load (not even an error in dmesg), but I’ll try again as I might have missed something.

Forgot to mention that it’s Tumbleweed.

No, first time I’ve heard of that, what does it do? My currently installed versions of Proton are the Steam managed ones and the default ones from Bottles.
