Recently any Steam games using directX 11 will give an error along the lines of “Unsupported GPU for Dx11” and refuse to launch. Everything worked fine prior to a pacman -Syu, which upgraded about 500 packages.
I’m using the video-nvidia-470xx driver with a GTX 1070, which is definitely supported. glxinfo says that my GPU supports direct rendering and DX11 games launched anywhere else don’t work either.
I’ve tried reinstalling drivers, reinstalling Steam, and using the PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, which works but doesn’t really solve my problem.
Any help would be appreciated, even if it’s just a hint on where to start
> Installed PCI configs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-nvidia-470xx 2023.03.23 false PCI
Warning: No installed USB configs!
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 has Wine use OpenGL instead of Vulcan, I found it on a similar issue and it seems to work, but doesn’t solve the underlying problem
PROTON_HIDE_NVAPI=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% Doesn’t seem to change anything
I’ve tested with Deep Rock Galactic, Battlebit Remastered, Apex Legends, and Hunt: Showdown. They all give very similar errors along the lines of “No supported GPU found.”
That can’t be right. Your GTX 1070 supports the current 535 series driver as inxi displays above:
Automatically installing the driver should install the video-nvidia profile instead of video-nvidia-470xx.
If running the above says the driver profile is already installed, you can do it manually by removing the current 470xx driver, installing the current 535 driver and rebooting:
Hello, i have/had same problem, but i have snapshots of the system before and after, is there any way that i can help?
Strange i tried to roll-back but this isue is still there.
But i have my steam lib on different partition and it is not rolled back.
I will try uninstall, steam delete SteamLibrary from another drive and then i will make an update.
Same, this did nothing, but i noticed that proton 7.x.x work without problems.
I will try to do clean install.
Well on clean it’s working.
But i don’t understand why it don’t work after restoring to snapshot, it worked tomorrow but but thru snapshot today it don’t.
Installing 6.4.3-1 Kernel didn’t helped.
I noticed that @Microwave2848 have GTX1070, same as i do.
Well, nah as Microwave2848 did i surrender too, gonna do it Windows-style.
Or so i said.
Now i do have “good” and “bad” snapshot.
There is possibility that it is Kvantum is one to blame.
There will be update.
So after a couple of hours and 2L of cola I discovered next:
This problem occurs from one/all/couple of next factors - video-nvidia-470xx, Kvantum Manager, Kvantum Manager + Layan theme.
Well duck looks like the problem was all along in “video-nvidia-470xx”, but I ducking certain that I did try to change them before.
Well this kinda sucks, with newest drivers or unable to use my display`s 165hz mode and only 120hz one is available.
I can confirm this problem but it’s not really new. The 470 driver suffer of this from few versions but it was depending on the game. I was switching months ago to the latest driver to fix this issue. I think that may be reliable to maintaining old cards in the 470 driver.
Okay I’m back after a reinstall of Manjaro and the issue is still here. I presume it’s a hardware issue but if other people are also experiencing it then it may be something else. Any help would be appreciated.
Well i have GTX 1070 to, so i think it should be somehow related.
What is your reason for using 470? Is 5XX was ever available for you?
Do older proton version work for you? In my case i was able to start DRG and Space Engineers with 7.0-6, when GE, Experimental and 8.0-2 caused SE and DRG to throw DX11 error.
