I’ve been running into a slew of performance issues on Linux with my 4070 across a range of games that all ran fine under Windows. I’ve been tempted to trade for the AMD equivalent just so I don’t have to deal with more nVidia driver nonsense. My roommate has an AMD card that I’ll be doing a trial run on later this week. Depending on how that goes, I might finally make the switch to Red Team.
I also had some headaches with Nvidia drivers with my 4070 on opensuse tumbleweed. But then I hopped to endeavouros and it has been a flawless experience. But I also feel the call of AMD lol I certainly will never buy another Nvidia GPU.
If you’re having issues with the proprietary drivers, you should try the open drivers for nvidia. Depending on your distro and install, you might also be having problems because of using wayland instead of X.
You might also get better mileage out of a different distribution altogether as some are intended to be a better experience for gaming and will have some important things pre-installed. This all depends on your skill level and the amount of time/effort you have to dedicate ofcourse.
What doesn’t make any sense is that I’m running Bazzite which should be super optimized. I made a whole long post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/40074859
