Hi,
I’m a linux newbie who just installed Manjaro on a Zephyrus G15. The laptop has both an AM iGPU as well as a discrete Nvidia rtx 3070. I downloaded the ‘non-free’ drivers (video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime).
I tried playing Resident Evil Village via Steam (used Proton GE). As per the Proton website it’s compatibility is Gold and it should work ok. However, it doesn’t start on my pc. Is this because of a graphics card issue?
The Nvidia GPU doesn’t show up in the Steam hardware info:
Your using a laptop so to make steam run on your dedicated gpu you need to use prime-run. There’s plenty of guides on steam/optimus laptops but the easiest option is to launch all your games through lutris and just toggle prime render offload to on
Right now Proton doesn’t have the feature to use your NVIDIA card automatically yet,so you need to tell the game to use the NVIDIA card as right now is using your AMD card,to do this right click on the game on steam and in the launch options type
prime-run %command%
Close the window and start the game,the game should now use your NVIDIA card.
Thanks! This is my inxi
