    Jo, no problem! Just use the proprietary drivers and vulcan, cuda etc. Just works

    Especially with a recent card, like a 4060. Problematic are only the cards which are considered legacy by nvidia (I think older than the GTX 900 series), because they do not update their drivers for newer kernels. In these cases resorting to nouveau (in-kernel driver for nvidia cards) is your best bet, but you will not use the cardโ€™s full potential.

    Edit: One can of course use proprietary drivers with legacy cards if you use a distro in a legacy kernel. But having old kernel then comes with less compatibility to other devices, as backports generally take their time.

    yeah its not too bad i have the regular drivers and nvidia-smi shows the card using the gpu for most things; and jellyfin works great too.

    i wish ff7 rebirth worked better but i think thats more of the game than a card.

    What distro do you use, generally, there is a relatively easy way to switch to the nvidia proprietary ones, or what is โ€œregularโ€in your case?

    Last time I switched nvidia drivers after initial installation, I had to uninstall (lib32-)vulkan-nouveau (32bit and 64bit) and install (lib32-)nvidia-utils manually, but I guess, that may distro specific.

    I see ๐Ÿ˜‡ you are already using latest proprietary nvidia drivers, if I read that correctly and you have nvidia-utils, which enables you to use Vulkan

    Anyway, on mint, one uses the GUI tool driver-manager to switch (nvidia)drivers:

    Hu? Your APT tells, that you have the 580 installed but GUI tells you have nouveau installed? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Btw. The (open) means that nvidia has made parts of the driver open source

    for the record i updated to 590 in the ui, restarted, and everything works great (also ff7 rebirth runs so much better)
