I have a problem with Nvidia drivers 535.129.3

[omano]

I have a problem with Nvidia drivers 535.129.3 in this current update (and with the bad “rolled back” driver too) bad performance in games, Steam overlay not working, bad fps drops unplayable gameplay, Steam overlay not working.

I used a TimeShift snapshot from two weeks ago and it fixed the issues. 535.113.01 has no issue.

[omano]

I still have same issue as before with the latest Nvidia drivers.

Nvidia 545.x is in unstable …

[omano]

Yes it is, not sure why you’re pointing that out.

[Yochanan]

@omano

a problem

What problem?

@omano

the bad “rolled back” driver

Which is? The testing branch went from 535.113.01 > 535.129.3 > 545.29.02 > 535.129.3.

@omano

same issue

What issue?

@weingeist

Cyberpunk crashes the entire PC.

Not for me wth 545.29.02-1.

@omano

not sure why you’re pointing that out

…because you never specifically mentioned you tried the 545 series, maybe?

I will refer you to your featured topic in your profile. C’mon, you know better. Help us help you.

545 is not in stable

[Yochanan]

@weingeist

545 is not in stable

You’re right. @omano is using testing and I’m using unstable. Are you lost?

[Testing Update] 2023-11-17 - Pipewire, KDE-git, Haskell, Python, Thunderbird

Originally the 545 drivers currently on Unstable were the one provided in the previous Testing update, then they rolled back to 535, then in this update nothing changed apparently. I can’t pinpoint what is broken I can run games, just that I have horrible performance in them. Current Unstable state is the same to me it is broken. With my snapshot on 535.113 drivers I’m good, if I update to current Testing I’m good for poor performance with 535.129 It is like I have a problem with shaders and eve…

Also to be fair I didn’t open a support thread, two post I made from two different announcement thread were merged in this thread.

Your profile gives us your system info, so we have that:

Branch: Testing
DE / WM: KDE Plasma
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GTX 1060
GPU Driver: Nvidia

Now, which games are giving you these performance issues?
Many of us are also gamers and usually own similar (if not the same) games.

Cyberpunk worked great for me and since the last update i get major stutters(especially after a few hours of playing).
535.129.03

i see it wasn’t updated on the 13.11 ,so I’m not sure what’s the culprit.

[omano]

I updated the system again from my snapshot, and it seems to work OK now. Not sure what happened as it is the same driver that was problematic before (not same revision though). I also switched to kernel 6.6 and removed 6.5.
