Hey @homkie , great! Can I be cheeky and ask why you do gaming on Linux when you can have roughly 30% more FPS on Windows? Is it rebelling against closed-source software? I hate Windows too!
@indy Of course you can ask That’s exactly it. I had Windows 11 running on my system (7800X3D, RTX 4090), so far everything was fine. All of a sudden it stopped starting ‘UI logon error’, nothing helped. So I switched completely to Linux (Nobara). Then out of curiosity and because I only heard good things, now CachyOS. I’ve mostly only used Linux as a dual boot for the last 20 years, now finally the real thing. Thank God we also use Linux (Suse) on the servers at work. I want to get more involved with Linux as a whole.
How do you get 30% more FPS under Windows? Which game with which settings? I’ve seen benchmarks where it’s more of a neck-and-neck race, sometimes Windows is better sometimes Linux, overall it doesn’t make much difference. Best regards
I am sorry for the 30% figure I quoted, which is a sweeping generalisation. Obviously, I was wrong. The only game I have played recently is Star Wars Outlaws, which is the only reason I boot into Windows 11. You have given me the challenge of exploring the Linux gaming scene. Thank you @homkie .
On a different note, once, I tried to get Intel Rapid Storage Tech to work on two 2TB Samsung 990 PRO drives BIOS configured in a RAID 0 array. On Windows, it was straightforward. The only Linux distro that recognised ‘out of the box’ was SUSE. With tinkering, I managed to get it working on Pop OS. Now, one of the drives has Cachy, and the other has Windows 11. Once, I even considered paying for SLED, then used Open SUSE for a while. Then, I found CachyOS.
Hey @altman ! No problemo. I am yet to compare the --autopower v --autopiliot v @iSpeakVeryWell 's flags. It was very clear with Clear Linux with no scheduler where training a LORA causes one core to max out with high temperatures of that particular core. scx_lavd on Cachy OS uses CPU cores efficiently without one core maxing out. Also, the CPU runs much cooler with the same task of training a LORA. I am attaching screenshots of the System Monitor and btop.
Thx @indy . Appreciated, I guess that you compile or stuff alike.
I rarely use +BTop, if ever, I bet I should use it more !
Bet that this big ass engine s doing the job at hand.
Just had my Aorus Z790 Master X with a much smaller i5-12400 CPU compared to yours with some t-create 5600 MHz ram, of which can be easily upgraded in some future time.
Bet that it s a bit too large for my Mid-Tower & don t want to change that old Antec P100 tower, ! lol You know when one love his old socks or shirts ! lol
A friend & I, were surprised that an E-ATX MB fittted in there , which it wasn t supposed too.
RTX 4090’s 20GB VRAM plays nicely with those projects. Also, to play with large language models (ollama is a good project to start with), the more VRAM, the merrier.
