I’ve had a good experience with the open source official ones on an Ampere generation GPU, sorry it didn’t work for yall. I should also say that they’re only available for Turing up if I recall. The other open source ones like nouveau, nova, and NVK are incomplete and for most cards offer a bad gaming experience, so if you have an older card it’s preferable to use the proprietary
Yes, that’s a new card well supported by the proprietary driver. I’m talking about cards older than 5 or 10 years.
The post specifically mentions old computers.
My 1080Ti works out of the box with the bazzite-nvidia image
Yes, Pascal GPUs are supported by the legacy driver 470 and 580.
The current 595 driver doesn’t support your GPU.
Users with hardware that‘s only supported by 470, 390, or 340 have been out luck since Linux 5.18 or earlier.
If things change enough over time, you might lose support for your card as well.
NVIDIA Support for Pascal ends in 2028. Expect things to break two years later.
You don’t need the proprietary one anymore, the open source drivers from nvidia are better
The „open“ NVIDIA drivers don’t support legacy hardware.
You’re right I misread the comment when I responded, mea culpa
Both me and the wife have had to switch to the proprietary ones for gaming, the other ones were bugging out like hell.
