Intel Core i5/i7-4900MQ Hybrid With NVidia GT 730M / GK208 Issues With Primary GPU For Video Games

Recently, WoW64 mode has been introduced to WINE thereby removing the multilib depencency; in most cases, requiring 32-bit wineprefixes to be rebuilt. Reduced performance for 32-bit applications is a known consequence of WoW64.

Also mentioned in the 2025-06-23 Stable Update announcement;

What the ramifications may be for any specific games you happen to use, I can’t say; however, Steam might be one of the first ports of call to find out more.


The last official driver supporting the GeForce GT 730M was Nvidia 390.157 for Linux (2022-11-22). As a legacy Nvidia product it is supported by the 390xx drivers currently in the Manjaro repository.

Using “Hardware Detection” in the Manjaro Settings Manager is likely the easiest way to discover and install the correct drivers.


I’m unable to help much beyond this, as I use AMD exclusively. Someone else might be able to add more information if it is needed.

Regards.
