3060ti on Ubuntu feels like old Vodoo GPU (discuss.tchncs.de)

Update: I installed CS:GO and it runs insanely smooth. Metro didnt start at all. I now have cycled through many compatibility options and tried proton experimental, latest and now linux runtime. Now it works on solid 60 fps!

Hi folks! I made it! I built a daily driver with Linux!

But I'm running into the first walls, which was expected but is still annoying.

So I bought a 3060ti which I got for a reasonable price and tried playing metro last light redux. Sub 10 fps. I'm pretty baffled atm. Have checked (and for sure, reddit was the first answer) but so far no dice. I changed from open source to proprietary driver, no changes either.

Is there a troubleshooting guide or something? Can I even guarantee my card runs on full capacity without windows? (sorry, I'm not used to linux desktop).

Thanks for reading! Have a good one!

Thank you very much for answering.

Here is the output for lspci -v:

65:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: PNY GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 66, NUMA node 0 Memory at d7000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at b000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [virtual] [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

It looks to me as it would be working.

But now I have another problem: I installed CS:GO and have between 150 and 200 FPS on high. Looks like the 3060ti works after all. :) but now metro doesnt even start. If I hit play, it quickly cycles through start, cloud sync, running, stopped

This happened before. I then verified the game files and it worked again. Any idea what the issue is?

Maybe check ProtonDB. You can usually find game specific issues and solutions. The page for Metro: Last Light Redux is here.

Thank you so much! This is awesome! Will definitely look this up more often. I'm actually very surprised that games run this smoothly if you tinker with them.

Which proton are you using if you're using it? A current one may be breaking it? Also, are you on Wayland or X11?

So, I'm very new to this Linux Desktop experience. I have a Linux server that runs cli only so I'm very much not used to the desktop version.

I tried many proton versions and they all seemed to not work. The only thing that did work (and exceptionally well too) is the steam linux runtime (last option in steam compatibility).

I had to google to find out what wayland and X11 are. My terminal tells me I'm running X11.
