Just tested on Arch, installed nvidia-beta

Was using GE-Proton8-17

Got to the first open area. No missing textures, graphical glitches, nada. Seems to be running well, but didn’t have FPS counter visible to see.

    Anyone familiar with arch/artix who can give me a quick rundown on how to move from nvidia-dkms (artix) to nvidia-beta (aur)?

    I tried trizen, but everything depends on something else right back up to steam itself and I’m wary of uninstall too many packages at once without knowing what I’m doing.

      Um… I use Yay, and just ran yay nvidia-beta. It asked me if it should remove conflicting packages. I typed y. Installed and done.

        Sounds good - I’ll give that a shot.

        Did you do it to run Starfield? How was performance, if so?

          Yes, and performance was wierd.

          It defaulted to Ultra graphics, and was pretty consistently at 50 FPS.

          I set it to lowest graphics expecting to see 300+ FPS but it only went up to 70.

          There’s definitely some optimisations that need to be done, or graphics is not my bottleneck.

          CPU usage though was pretty consistent across all cores at 60%.

          So… no idea.

            Oh well, I’ll be happy if I can get 60fps at 1080p. One advantage of an aging rig - it doesn’t have to push as many pixels as a modern monitor would need :)

            Thanks for the help!
