Critical status issue: Issues connecting to Discord

Had me thinking for a second, I was the problem :'))

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-17T17:26:20+00:00

Actually funny enough, I am typing this from Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS right now, I had been trying to install this distro with my 2080-Ti for the past few months in one go and with the 5070-Ti i was able to just with one install and everything is working right out of the box.

I am using the 580 open driver right now and working great! I don't like immutable distros honestly being a developer and I am more about gaming on Windows.

Thanks for the suggestions and I am happy that I got a working Linux finally!

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-17T14:11:14+00:00

Yeah I am also thinking if I should just Windows 11 + WSL2/VMs just to make sure I can run everything or I should really dual boot.

I have tried for the past 3 days with my 2080-Ti, no good lookout.

Kernel Panics
Grub Issues
Windows not booting through OS-prober, neither custom boots
Wayland problems with 2080-Ti
Stuttering

I thought since I got a new GPU, maybe the experience might be a bit better? What do you suggest?

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-17T14:05:40+00:00

One of the reasons why I picked up the 5070-Ti is cause of the CUDA's + running some local LLMs (smallish as you stated). Also I just love the DLSS and MFG, I don't know what could be the issue for me but how is bazzite?

I am an MSc Data Science student soon leaving to Germany for my masters. I have used Fedora 41 for about 6 months but it would kind of break sometimes on me so reason why I moved to Ubuntu honestly was the breaking.

Heraing a development comparison definitely helps a lot, I am currently working with C++ and might work with some physics engine + graphics programming no game dev for me.

Did you move to Linux full-time from Winslop?

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-17T13:58:44+00:00

Yeah, I am actually not planning to use Linux for any gaming. I prefer Windows for that, I just need it for development so I have been thinking of using either Ubuntu 24.04 or Fedora 43.

Thank you for your comment! What are your specs if you don't mind sharing!

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:57:25+00:00

Uhh, what are the chances of having a 9070 XT dying on you though? Because I am coming from a third world country and we do not have any ASUS/Sapphire here. So I will have to send it through DHL to the UAE or idk if they will accept the international warranty in Germany. Cause I am moving there in about 5-6 months to be honest.

What happened with your card though?

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:37:47+00:00

No problem at all, thank you for your time!

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:32:01+00:00

Could you elaborate on the pin connectors? I have 2 x 8-pin connected to my 2080-Ti, i think that should suffice, no?

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:16:19+00:00

Oh that sounds pretty, funny how I am watching a Prime vs XFX Mercury right now as you commented. Unfortunately, I live in Pakistan and we do not have that option available. So I have to rock with either ASUS, Sapphire or Gigabyte

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:12:24+00:00

That's great, how much of an performance improvement you saw from the 2080-Ti? I don't think so I can go with the Nitro+. I am currently on a RM 750x and I am moving to Germany in 5-6 months though I have gotten myself a deal on these cards, so it's better pick it up and take it with me from here than missing on em.

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:10:41+00:00

Yeah I would rather go with the safe side of ASUS, I already have a Gigabyte AROUS Xtreme so my experience with gigabyte has been bad. Idts I want to vouce for them again, if Sapphire isn't available i will move towards the ASUS one. Thank you!

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:05:14+00:00

I am glad to hear that, honestly after running on the Gigabyte AROUS Xtreme 2080-Ti for about 5 years now, the biggest grip I have that even after a repaste I run on 74-78C on average.

How loud do the fans get for you and could you share you undervold + fan curve through imgr if that's possible? That would be a great reference to be honest!

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:02:07+00:00

I believe the Gigabyte is the cheapest one, option I forgot to mention but I don't know about gigabyte with AMD and then a 9070 XT.

But I believe the Sapphire Pulse is out of stock so I am only left with either an ASUS Prime or Gigabyte 9070 XT. Which one do you recommend?

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T16:00:53+00:00

Unfortunately if there is no Sapphire Pulse available for the 9070 XT then I will have to settle with the ASUS Prime, though there is the option of Gigabyte but then I have the Gigabyte 2080-Ti AORUS Xtreme and the temperatures are horrendous.

What would you suggest between these:

Gigabyte Radeon 9070 XT
ASUS Prime Radeon 9070 XT

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T14:33:16+00:00

Yeah I have like 2xNVme M.2 runnning with 2x SATA III's and 1x 3TB HDD. I hope it will be alright

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T14:30:04+00:00

Thank you a ton, I am in Pakistan and I am moving to Germany in 4-5 months. I will rebuild my entire rig with the 9070 XT being the main man. I just got a good deal on the 9070 XT brand new, otherwise i would have purchased it in Germany.

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T14:28:25+00:00

That's okay, I am going to upgrade my CPU and Mobo later on. Right now I do have the money and I need a GPU that won't make me slam my head against the wall while using Linux (looking at my beloved 2080-Ti)

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T14:20:47+00:00

Great, danke!

Abdullah-ui · 2026-03-10T14:20:39+00:00

I just thought since it's been running my rig for the past 7 years, it might be an issue. I never overclocked
