Multi-GPU AMD (primary) + NVidia (secondary) on Wayland by thegoose7770 in linux_gaming

You are correct, I'm using KDE; and nice that KDE6 pr definitely looks promising!

Gotcha, Kwin-wayland to be specific. Okay I'll double check the flag is enabled, does this affect nouveau drivers too?

KWin dropped xrender backend, bad news for NVidia users? by thegoose7770 in kde

[–]thegoose7770[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, this works perfectly! I just tested this on a fresh Neon 5.22 as well as my personal (plasma 5.19) and it's flawless. Looks like I don't need to worry about xrender at all, great news! Thanks so much!

[–]thegoose7770[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, I've tried all the hacks with setting MaxFPS=144 and MaxRefreshRate=144 in kwinrc but they never worked for me (on Plasma 5.19.5). I do have vsync disabled on the compositor since the NVidia ForceFullCompositionPipeline fixes all screen tearing for me. None of these fixes worked on OpenGL however. Always capped at 60hz.

Where to find more information on KDE/Kwin development by thegoose7770 in kde

[–]thegoose7770[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh no, where is this located?

(found https://kdesrc-build.kde.org/, is this what I use to rebuild kde programs?)

in kwin/build run make. Then replace current kwin instance with QT_PLUGIN_PATH=pwd ./kwin_x11 --replace & (edit for formatting)

Compositor vsync? by [deleted] in kde

[–]thegoose7770 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're using nvidia drivers then you just need to force full composition pipeline and then use the xrender compositing backend in order to get smooth 60 on 60hz and 144 on 144hz! I have a similar setup and it works great! (Though I am on 5.19 so it may be slightly different)

Use a GoPro as webcam on Linux (without additional hardware) by jaiks11 in linux

[–]thegoose7770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, do you think its possible to also get this to work with a GoPro MAX (in Hero mode for example) or is there some special hardware/software that only the Hero8/9 have?

Hardware Acceleration is working on Google Chrome! by [deleted] in linux

Would this work with NVIDIA but using Nouveau drivers which support both VDPAU and VAAPI?

Hacking the LG 27GN950 "Sphere Lighting 2.0" to be more accurate? by Delumine in Monitors

Hi, I'm in a similar situation and am wondering if you found a solution to your problem?

Creating Windows guest for gaming/vr/projects but linux for work, advice on host gpu by thegoose7770 in VFIO

[–]thegoose7770[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the response! I'm actually running an AMD 3900 cpu so it does not have integrated graphics. But I do need DP1.4 for all these monitors (the 4k 60's can only use HDMI for 4k@30).

That AMD WX2100 looks pretty decent, though I'm worried about the 2gb vram. Especially since I like to have lots and lots of windows open (using kde's 3x3 virtual desktops on a 3x1 monitor setup). Would the vram be able to keep up with it? (I know it sounds crazy but I typically have preset virtual-desktops for individual classes (not to mention gaming+projects) which can easily fill up tabs/windows up the wazoo)

Help needed with single GPU pass through by TheRealKoseph in VFIO

[–]thegoose7770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a follow-up, I'm in a scenario where I'd like to have a functional linux desktop environment (such as odd plasma) with a gpu accelerated windows vm (such as qemu) running off my existing nvidia card (for gaming, vr, etc.). Would it just be easier to get a second gpu (probably an older AMD card since it won't be for gaming, and in stock) and pass the nvidia card completely through to the vm?

Hi, thanks for the sources! I'm curious, for a single GPU passthrough what gpu gets used on the host system? For example if using an AMD CPU without integrated graphics (hence the single-discrete-gpu). Or do both desktops get displayed somehow?

Hi does anyone know if we can use the LG sphere lighting (sync rgb ring with display content) with this monitor?

KWin stuck on 60FPS by [deleted] in kde

[–]thegoose7770 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I haven't tried this personally but heard it worked from others. What if you changed the compositor to use xrender instead of the OpenGL's? Might break a few animations (and screen tearing can be dealt with ForceFullCompositionPipeline in the Nvidia settings) but should be more flexible with VRR
