well, today i (partially) realized why my basic drivers don’t work: the preinstalled packages amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms seem to not work due to amdgpu-dkms being unconfigured. tried configuring it and got the same error. around about there my system stopped using even the iGPU and i had to uninstall some other drivers (thanks @lena@gregtech.eu )
Interesting! Well I currently have a 1070ti, which the internet tells me will mostly outperform a 3050. Thanks for your dev perspective.
The 1070Ti doesn’t have the hardware necessary for DLSS, which makes a huge difference in performance for gaming.
Also I was using the 3050 as a low-cost example (it’s what I use). My roommate uses a 3060Ti and that thing easily handles every game she’s thrown at it.
Good stuff to know. Thx!
