Need a bit of help here. I recently updated the nvidia drivers on my machine from 535.113 to 535.129 and my performance tanked. I can’t run anything except for peglin at 14fps. I’ve tried a clean install of nvidia drivers but that doesn’t seem to help. I’m well versed in Unix, but not really with gaming on Linux. No other performance has been affected. Has anyone seen similar issues or know any tips?
OS: Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon
CPU: Ryzen 5600X
GPU: 3070Ti
This was actually a Steam issue. Unfortunately the steam libraries that associate with the nvidia drivers never got updated (or showed an available update). So the libraries were still for 535.113. I had to uninstall and reinstall steam to get the correct libraries. I’m running the flatpak version of steam too if that makes a difference.
Moral of the story: Take your damn snapshots before updating.
Yeah I had a similar issue, my Nvidia driver got updated to 545 and suddenly PRIME offload did not work for Steam games. After a little while Flatpak update pulled the nvidia 545 flatpak stuff and it started working again.
Update: I found the issue.
