well hear this. I moved my old pc that has a gtx1650 to the living room to use it as an htpc. Installed a clean os. connected it to the tv. 4k at 60hz working fine. the next day I thought I need to run some games on it so let's install the proprietary drivers. now it only runs at 1080p60 or 4k30 which is garbage. I switched back to the previous generation that has nouveau and it works fine. infuriating! I gave up and installed windows. it's the same shit! no 4k60. did I just discover a case that nouveau works better?

What games are you playing ‼️⁉️⁉️

on the htpc machine nothing yet. trying to fix that took all of this weekend. but probably some couch coop games. nintendo stuff.

This is my luck. I just switched to an AMD machine. thinking it would be super smooth.

well I kept getting green screen crashes and full reboots. installed windows and it doesn't happen. reading online I found out that they have fixed it many months ago but somehow it got regressed back into the latest linux drivers. locking the vram clock to maximum fixed it though. the gpu was fine. this is how I spent the previous weekend 😁

I just started cyberpunk though. it's fun 😊
