I just saw the GamersNexus benchmarks and I wondered to myself, why do they have so many problems with Nvidia on Bazite? I’ve used PopOS with my RTX 30 graphics card and I’ve essentially had performance parity with Windows.

Do you guys think they misconfigured something in the background or do you think that the driver has just gotten worse? What are your experiences?

  • The only thing I know for sure in regards to why nvidia kinda blows on linux is that system RAM sharing doesn’t really work the way it does on windows or with AMD cards on linux. This means that particularly VRAM intense workloads will suffer. Unreal 5 games in particular suffer because of this.
