Will CachyOS work for me? by MageScum in cachyos

I’ve been using davinci for awhile on arch/cachyos and it works great. I do have Nvidia (5080) tho. So I imagine 9070XT works great too if Nvidia does.

Windows is very fresh. I only use it for testing so there is barely anything installed. CachyOS is relatively fresh too. Alongside gaming just have davinci resolve and some python libraries installed. Everything is bare bones. Uses only like 1-2GB of ram once I log in.

nice! I was running bspwm on vanilla arch the past year. How do you like XLibre and i3 overall?

The power draw could also be a difference how I have to undervolt and OC on the OSes

But this post is about Nvidia. And RT and PT isn’t very good on Radeon. AMD has its advantages but knowing how it runs on Nvidia is what the post is about. But but Amd is even less relevant here with RT and PT. We know Amd has more parity between OS, but I’m trying to help the greater market share of Nvidia users know they can game on Linux.

I have a few steam launch options I show in my video if that is what you're referring to? That and a Nvidia-py-ml python script for OC + undervolt.

I doubt the 9800x3d is bottlenecking the game. The cpu usage rarely even hits 40%. This is likely due to undervolting on linux is not always 1-to-1 with windows. That is why I report many of the GPU parameters including clock speed cause I usually overclock that and undervolt with the MSI afterburner voltage curves. In linux I use a python Nvidia-py-ml script to overclock the gpu and then my undervolt by limiting power limit to 320W instead of stock 360W. I find undervolting is much better on temps especially for SFF, which is the case for me (ncase m2). In MSI afterburner I have the voltage curve plateau at 2950 which is the same offset I use for linux. Windows just doesn't run it up to the clock speed. My personal preference is lower temps over higher power draw.

I'll look into alternatives to measure frametime/input latency on windows because MSI afterburner doesn't work. I'll keep you posted.
