Greetings, all!
After Microsoft and Windows have failed me for the last time by wiping my Minecraft world (unforgivable), I made the jump to Linux almost a week ago. I’m new and don’t know that much…
About every 3 minutes or so my primary display flashes black briefly. These flashes last about a second but seem to fluctuate in frequency.
I have 2 monitors, a 4060ti 16gb, the latest proprietary Nvidia driver and an almost new install of garuda gnome.
As a side note, my display is gsync compatible, but Nvidia x server settings doesn’t seem to show all settings and GreenWithEnvy doesn’t detect a ‘control x extension.’
I’ve tried booting with a single monitor, installing the driver via garuda settings and playing low intensity games. Nothing has stopped the flickering.
I’d like to stop the flickering, enable gsync and overclock my card as I did on Windows. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
Adaptive sync with a nvidia grpahic card needs to be adjusted opening nvidia-settings, chossing powermixer option, and on the bottom adjusting the preferred mode setting. You have three choices auto, adaptive, & maximum performance
Now save your profile in the nvidia-settings configuration on the bottom
what about pressing your main menu
type in nvidia
choose the menu option ‘nvidia X server’
press Enter
now a GUI will appear called nvidia-settings
choose the menu option powermixer
now select instead of auto, adaptive.
now press the menu option called
nvidia-settings Configuration and press the save configuration option.
All done!
(check the image from left to right to see the steps to be taken in sequence.)
By terminal or GUI, it looks like I’m missing quite a few settings. I see the window to edit GPU and vram clocks, but it just cuts off there. The me I on the left seems limited as well I wish I could send pictures. Is this because im on another distro (gnome)?
Okay i understand. Did you try this solution? i got a RTX 4080 and it solves all my graphic issues.
run the command below in a terminal
You will have to uninstall some files, which will stop you from successfully complete the command. So please note which ones are in conflict, one by one, and uninstall them
e.g sudo pacman -R ‘conflicting filename to uninstall’, until the code below completes without errors. THEN REINSTALL THE FILES YOU UNINSTALLED BEFORE REBOOTING.
Describe your issue in detail. The more we know, the better we can help
Show us the results of your searches, and what you’ve tried
After rebooting, post the FULL output of garuda-inxi in the body of the post (not linked externally, or collapsed with the “hide details” feature)
Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text
The option is only displayed if your hardware (GPU/monitor) supports this function. If your hardware supports this function but the option is not displayed, then there is obviously an error somewhere. All information about your hardware configuration (e.g. GPU, monitor and which ports are used) as well as the installed GPU drivers can be found in your garuda-inxi which you still haven’t posted yet.
Just use an external pic hoster and post the link here.
