It's depressing how dominant Nvidia.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

And their current cards are SHIT. I went from. 10 series to 50...I wanna go back.

Nothing but hard crashes on desktop, in games. Everything's got this shit green tint. Absolute shit company and shit cards. I regret

Everything’s got this shit green tint.

Unless you're making some Nvidia = green joke, that's some setting on your side. The crashes might be as well, some unstable overclock or PSU issue.

The main things that's been plaguing the Nvidia drivers is black screens, which are seemingly finally getting under control for the last two driver releases, along with Windows Updates.

Value of the 50-series is definitely shit though.

No I'm really not. The HDR being on is absolutely horrid and the blacks are all green. Disabling HDR reduces it, but it's still visible with a green tint. 100% an issue surrounding HDR though and only affects the blacks on my monitor.

The crashes I narrowed down to DX12. Running everything I'm dx11, zero issues and crashes go away instantly. Tbh it might be a conflict with the 10 series drivers and I didn't run any removal tools. I will be doing this shortly and starting drivers from scratch as a test. Nothing overclocked.

yea, that sounds like a serious problem. dont have anything like that with my 3000 series card. Would try a clean install, and then RMA if it keeps happening.

Upgraded from 10 to 50 series in the same computer? I've always had issues upgrading GPUs in place, regardless of vendor. My standard GPU upgrade process now includes running DDU to properly wipe drivers and do a fresh install from there.

Umm, yes? Why would I buy new everything just because the graphics is the bottleneck. I've gone from 1060, to 1080ti sc, to 5070 ti. Unless I misunderstand what you mean by 'the same computer'

I was looking at ddu the other day and was going to remove the drivers then reinstall fresh. Didn't even know it existed. My issues most likely stem from going from GTX to RTX.

I have very low hopes that it will resolve the green HDR tint tho..that seems more like windows being garbage then anything.

Then sell your GPU and get an AMD or Intel card lol

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I probably will, but I wanna tinker first. I am not just complaining for the sake of it, I'd rather fix the problems incase it's a weird config I have going. Worst case I'll just buy amd and throw this Nvidia into my server PC and tinker with local LLMs. This isn't a cash issue, just a hardware/config frustration.

You have the perfect Linux user mindset. I am not saying this as an offense, rather a compliment. :-) I am also someone who investigates and searches the reason and solution of problems.

Recently I had an issue for months, before its stable now (AMD on Linux, but with a specific game Marvel Rivals). The issue was so bad that I got multiple crashes per game session or match even. And either my method or the updates to the game, to the Linux core and drivers fixed it, or a combination of it. What I want to say is, maybe its an issue with the software or as you say, a configuration issue. So trying and finding a workaround might be worth it. Especially if you are happy with Nividia otherwise.
