Any recommended games for my graphics card + how to make games smother - facing lad and screen shattering when I play CS:GO with game mode on!
1- Switch to Arch Linux (no, really.)
2- Do a minimal installation
3- Search for “arch linux improving performance”. There should be a guide in the arch linux wiki regarding some system-wide tweaks via sysctl.conf – follow it.
4- Also search for “how to enable zram arch linux”. Basically, it clogs your cpu a bit to squeeze a bit more of ram out of your system. Follow it as well.
Don’t expect any “miracles” out of this… but it should make things more doable/tolerable.
If everything goes wrong, then you can always resort to either geforcenow or xcloud. Or both.
All in all, a whopping 1-2% increase. Yay!
I’ve been using Arch for over a decade, and I would advise you to be careful when upgrading nvidia drivers. They just break every so often. Just do not delete your pacman cache and you should be able to easily downgrade
Show me some proof of any significant performance gain from these configuration changes, then. You also forgot to mention running Zen kernel as well, which might actually provide some benefits.
Nvidia are notorious for releasing broken Linux drivers… You probably won’t notice this unless you actually update frequently. Arch is bleeding edge so they often fly right through without much testing.
Install supertux and have fun.
Also snake and other terminal games should run fine.
switch to arch/debian + xfce/lxde/lxqt
also make sure to disable the 2400’s iGP in the bios so you’re not wasting ram on that
Delete Ubuntu.
1st) quit Ubuntu n use Debian testing, based on your hardware!
