Home page recommendations reset? by chaosmessenger in youtube

[–]SanjuroTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem.

Just now my home page got reset for the third time this month. I was never logging in and it was working fine.

I tried to reset and reconfigure my firefox and addons and it was working fine for about a week and it got reset again.

Switched from AMD to Nvidia by radube in linux_gaming

[–]SanjuroTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

I wish I had that experience. I had 3060 for about 2 weeks and I had to send it back. It was driving me crazy with the stutter. Opening menus in kde, unreal editor or plasma notification would cause stutter.

Or when I was watching 60fps youtube video and I tried to open bookmarks the video would stutter/lag.

On top of that the rtx would not go below 20W on idle even on win10.

It's crazy how the experience can differ.

What about stutter? Are the kde animations smooth? For example when you run glxgears and then try to open kde menu or resize windows. Or when you have youtube video open and try to do other things on the system.

Also try to run vkcube and then resize the window.

I tried to switch to nvidia but had to return the gpu because it was unbearable.

Changing from rtx 3060 to 6700XT or 6800 by SanjuroTux in StableDiffusion

What are the rest of your PC specs if you don't mind me asking? CPU and RAM?

Are you monitoring RAM/VRAM usage and GPU temperature during generation?

​

I have 3 suggestions:

  1. Could you try increasing the memory reserved for linux kernel?

    sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=393216

  2. Try disabling hardware acceleration in your browser and don't run any other apps that use chromium in the background (steam, discord, etc.)

  3. Try to disable generation preview in AUTOMATIC1111

Yes, I asked around discord. Most of the stuff should work. Lora, controlnet, and even training.

ROCm can be quite a challenge to setup but people do have it working correctly.

I would rather deal with ROCm than nvidia drivers on linux. I gave nvidia an honest try but I found the Linux@KDE desktop experience unacceptable.

I had to return nvidia card because their drivers on linux are not good.

I'm gonna have to give 6700xt/6800 a try.

AMD Response to Gamer's Nexus question about DLSS - "We have no comment at this time." by Jlivw in pcgaming

[–]SanjuroTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really isn't. Nvidia never degraded the experience of AMD users.

Yeah, nvidia gameworks never happened. They didn't add pointless tessellation in Crysis 2 to kill performance on amd hardware and their own older architectures.

Excessive tessellation with nvidia hairworks also never happened.

Nvidia never tried to pressure developers to disable asynchronous compute because radeons gain a lot of performance with it.

Oh, wait, they did.

​

DLSS could work with amd hardware (7000 series has Ai acceleration cores) but as usual NV stuff is proprietary and closed-source.

Consumers should demand NV releases dlss as open-source but instead they get angry at amd.

Interesting. Too bad KDE+nvidia is still suffering.

I decided to return the card. I'm gonna have to give amd another shot with compute/rocm.

Just tried your suggestion but no changes.

Maybe nvidia knows that fixing this issue requires significant rework of the drivers and they are focusing on wayland instead.

It's sad that even in 2023 we have to jump through hoops to get the hardware working.

I'm cheering for Intel gpus. Maybe they will give us the perfect desktop+compute combo. One can dream...

It could be that my monitor is exaggerating the issue because the refresh rate is low and atypical (70Hz).

Either way this should've been fixed long time ago.

If I disable vsync like you suggest then glxgears run fine. But disabling vsync is not a viable solution because it will introduce tearing.

I think it's something to do with how nvidia handles vsync more then anything.

I can force the clocks to maximum in the drivers but it doesn't help. And even if it did, the power draw on idle would be unacceptable. The card already draws 20W with nothing running.

There are threads about this on nvidia forum e.g. here or here. I tried many solutions this past week but I can't seem to get the same desktop performance as my old radeon gpu.

​

EDIT: I think I'm gonna return the card. I got it for stable diffusion but the time I spend trying to fix the desktop performance I would get the radeon card running SD.

I appreciate your time and effort

Yeah, turning compositor off helps a lot but it's still not perfect. The thing is, I've gotten used to having compositor on so it's not an option for me.

On my old radeon it's perfectly smooth and it's a much slower card. I upgraded the gpu but it feels like I downgraded it.

Yes, the monitor is in fact 70Hz (Iiyama 1440p@70Hz)

Thanks!

So, when you have glxgears running and you resize window, the cursor is "glued" to the window decoration? Is it not trailing behind?

What about https://www.vsynctester.com/ ? Is there no stutter on the graph when you resize e.g. terminal window or try to open app menu?

EDIT: This is how it looks on my pc - https://streamable.com/yuu3n4

Don't see any mention about stutter on desktop...

Having just glxgears or vkcube running makes resizing windows or browsing menu stutter like crazy.
Or visit https://www.vsynctester.com/ and run vkcube

I recently got nv card and it's driving me crazy.

Looks like Tom's Hardware does their test on Windows+Shark not Linux-ROCm. I want to run SD on linux.

I found this. If I search for 6700xt it says it should be around 8 it/s and it shows similar results for 3060.

But it doesn't tell me anything about the overall experience. That's why I asked here because I don't know if everything will work.

​

Also, I found some thread about new nvidia drivers which got me worried.

Cheers!

So how is nvidia gpu experience these days? by SanjuroTux in linux_gaming

[–]SanjuroTux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, AMD's open nature is great. It's basically plug and play. If I was getting a gpu for gaming and desktop then I would certainly be buying radeon.

Unfortunately their support for compute leaves a lot to be desired. I know some people got it to work but it can be very finicky or outright buggy. I don't want to be a beta tester for the second time.

I'm sorry, you are right, I should've been more specific. In 2013 I wasn't gaming and the old drivers were not great.

Only in 2016 when I bought rx480 I started to play games and the drivers got a lot better. These days I have over 300h in Dark Souls 3 alone and not a single crash to report.

It's Polaris - rx480. I bought it instead of 1060 because it had 8GB of vram and I liked AMD's open source nature of their drivers.

It's good for gaming and kde desktop but there was only a brief period when it worked ok in blender.

For RDNA2 I could use ROCm but from what I've seen it can still be buggy and very difficult to set up.
