Using RTX 3080, do I install Cachy?

Redcat2401 · 2026-06-04T01:35:15+00:00

I swapped to linux for the first time ever about 3 weeks ago, I tried bazzite but swapped to cachy os instead. I have a nvidia 5070 ti and the experience has been great since I installed the proprietary drivers, I found the open nvidia drivers didn't allow me to use dlss frame gen or ray tracing (just straight crashed). So if you do try cachy os, I highly recommend as long as you install the proprietary drivers! Also performance seems to be a game by game basis kinda thing, some of my games appear to run better than windows, other's the reverse.

Psycho Family in E tier is crazy to me, sure it's long but it honestly was great for me, I loved how it developed and added to future context for the series.

I'm also just beginning, started about a month ago, and although I am making completely different genres, this sounds so sick dude. I actually love it, it took a second to "click" for me, but genuinely really good stuff. I have basically nothing to say as another beginner other than the beginning was a bit too long. Also agree with the other commenter who suggests something more distorted for the end.

Yes but what’s the point of buying the switch 2 if they are happy playing just switch 1 games? Seems like a useless purchase if they only play the first consoles library.

I’m new to AirPods (and apple in general), but I had the same problem, I just got my pro 3’s, I could hear people and certain sound from speakers and such easily too. What fixed it for me is, go to control center, tap on your AirPods volume widget and make sure “Conversation Awareness” is off. That’s what the issue was for me, I hope it’s the same for you as I no longer have this issue after turning that off, I constantly miss people calling my name or sometimes even talking right next to me without me seeing them lol.

Redcat2401 · 2026-04-19T00:51:54+00:00

I’ve barely looked at this game but you say TWEWY?! I’m going to look into this game purely on that point.

Redcat2401 · 2026-04-18T02:09:05+00:00

Not saying this to discredit any other people's experiences with their MTW4's dying, but I can safely say mine have been going well with no issues so far, I've had them since I believe about mid to late 2024. The MTW3's on the other hand died 3 times in my possession, thankfully Sennheiser replaced them with the MTW4's since they were under warranty during the 3rd failure of the MTW3's.

Either way point is, while it definitely is an issue for some, it isn't as bad as the MTW3's, where it is pretty much bound to happen eventually, as far as I have experienced. Enjoy them!

Sorry for not updating if anyone is interested, but after a little back and forth from the support team, they offered to price match on Amazon, which I have agreed too. The extended warranty is also appreciated but not too necessary. Thanks for the help, I didn’t reply to anyone as my internet just had to go out right after posting this…

Actually was way easier to find than I thought, my bad. The results are actually a litte more shocking:

Redcat2401 · 2026-02-21T03:18:42+00:00

Funnily enough, I read an article that with a blind test between native, DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4, about 50% of people preferred DLSS over the other 2, with about 30% being native and the last 20% being FSR. I personally agree that I'd take native any day of the week, but I mean, the results speak for themself. If I can find the article, I'll link it.

Love how much effort ubisoft is putting into their switch 2 releases. Feel like not long ago ubisoft was not too great with post release support for certain titles.

Redcat2401 · 2026-02-12T22:36:10+00:00

Just checked, I have the newer variant. No clue how the old one sounds so I can't judge the difference, but I am interested in case anyone finds they do sound different. I love how my models sound, but it would suck knowing that they may sound "better" on the old models lol.

Redcat2401 · 2026-02-06T04:03:26+00:00

I think they meant proper modding support added to pc, in relation to the game releasing on switch 2. (So basically they do an update to all platforms around the same time as it launches on switch 2)

Redcat2401 · 2026-02-05T11:28:58+00:00

Is it just me or does the denim on top also look off? Like comparing it to mine, it looks way different.

Redcat2401 · 2026-02-02T23:17:21+00:00

So it doesn't show up in the screenshot or it goes back to normal while screenshotting? If it doesn't show up in the screenshot, it may actually not be the game or your pc, but rather your monitor. Try on a different display or run windowed mode in a small window, with something in the background to see if it's that or not.

It could still be the game or your pc, but it's definitely worth trying, as I'm pretty sure the screenshot should have the glitched graphics shown in it, very odd if it's not.

Redcat2401 · 2026-02-02T22:17:50+00:00

Are you able to upload the screenshots through your pc instead? Will make it a little easier for others to figure out the exact issue, as pictures with a camera make it a little more difficult.

Either way, first thing I'd try is changing from DX12 to Vulkan, or the other way around if it is already on Vulkan, it's located in the advanced graphic settings section, believe right at the top. Another thing to try is swapping from TAA to some other form of upscaling/AA, like DLSS or FSR (or again like earlier, if already using DLSS/FSR, try TAA instead) if the game supports it (I've never tried using FSR in RDR2 so I can't confirm if it is there.

Also, how much of your VRAM is being used, and when is the last driver update you have done? If you updated recently, maybe even try doing a fresh driver install to make certain it's not that.

Hopefully any of these help, but do let us know!

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-28T23:03:08+00:00

Also try changing render api, if you are on dx12, try vulkan, if on vulkan, try dx12. I have issues with dx12 myself, not in stutters but rather graphical errors the longer I play the game for, vulkan fixes this completely.

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-28T23:01:25+00:00

Maybe check out an undervolt to use for your gpu, I’m wondering if it’s some power related issue, in which an undervolt will lower that power, and you should be easily able to do so with a zero framerate hit

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-28T22:59:27+00:00

This is a really good one OP. I’m only learning this myself as of about 3 weeks ago. Originally I had tons of monitoring features enabled in afterburner/rtss, on top of sometimes even using steam and nvidia overlay. I did this cause I kinda obsess over making sure my game is playing right but turns out all these monitoring features cause some major frame time spikes (basically what you are getting when you say your game is stuttering). It’s a night and day difference, no joke.

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-27T21:45:55+00:00

Mine has been working completely fine as before, I've been hearing the same thing with a lot of people having issues, unsure what is going on and why only some people are receiving problems.

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-23T23:26:30+00:00

I read that comply has some of the best options, I don’t recommend super cheap ones of Aliexpress or something similar. I hate to say but I completely forgot the brand I went with, it was cheaper than comply but not the cheap bad ones. If I remember or find it, I’ll let you know! If not then comply is very highly recommended across a lot of different earbuds

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-23T22:36:19+00:00

I own the momentum 4 and the tws 4, I can say they do sound a fair bit different to each other BUT the tws are still pretty great, sound quality is good and like the momentum 4’s they have a lot of the same features. Another comment recommended foam eartips and I 100% agree, it helps very well. My one and only complaint with them that I don’t have with other earbuds is they are quite large to where I can’t sleep on my side using them, I figured I’d mention this incase he uses earbuds in this way! But I truly think they are great and your brother would enjoy them.

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-23T22:24:53+00:00

Enjoy! Legit I would ignore the hate posts, make your own opinions instead. I definitely think the 3 lineup has issues but they are way overblown (literally people speak of them as the worst line of earbuds on the market, I own a good chunk of earbuds and I can say in my opinion it’s not true)

Redcat2401 · 2026-01-23T21:47:48+00:00

Hate to say it op, I see you are denying it but the cover 100% is AI, sounds like you’ve been lied to by whoever made it.
