so I recently dualbooted arch and windows. I have noticed the longer I play game the more the fps drops.
Deadlock for example, I will be getting 110-120 fps then as the match goes on (usually at the 20-40 min mark) it gradually drops to 50fps (I don’t know if it will keep going, that is just the lowest I have been able to see it drop)
the outlast trials also gets pretty bad micro stutters.
I have tried reinstalling drivers removing two sticks of ram that seem to be faulty, and reinstalling arch completely with archinstall just to see if I flubbed something up around manual install, I tried the nvidia-open drivers (the ones released by nvidia) and the proprietary drivers. Nothing seems to be working.
When I launch into windows games stay at pretty consistant framerates.
specs:
rtx 3070 ryzen 7 3700x 16gb ram 1tb ssd 2tb ssd 1440p 144hz monitor
Any help is very much appreciated!!
(off topic question but I figured I would ask here as to not create another post. I cannot for the life of me get wayland kde to work properly. It efuses to let me change the resolution and refresh rate. the solution I seem to be finding is that wayland doesnt play nice with nvidia. So I have just been using x11. is this assesment incorrect?)
Had the same issue with my games, but Deadlock was one that I could consistently get it to slow down after a few minutes, all because of VRAM (I’m on Nvidia too). Simply lowering textures to medium on Deadlock solved it, at no discernable quality change.
