**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Yeah bugger it, I'm moving to Linux, Satya Nadella can take his Microslop and go lovingly suckle on a satchel of severed AI generated johnsons.

Sadly, the Nvidia driver experience on Linux gives Windows 11 a run for its money in terms of sucking. Things are better than they used to be, but you're still looking at an average 20% performance drop in every DX12 game compared to Windows along with missing basic features like voltage control, so no undervolting (beyond the crude power limit method). Meanwhile, on the AMD side of things you have Mesa adding ray tracing support for cards like the RX 580 and allowing them to run games like Indiana Jones that won't even launch on Windows at playable framerates.

I did not even consider MSI afterburner and undervolting. Ffs.

Look forward to dual booting with when SteamOS comes out.

Windows development is absolute trash these days, they need a clean sweep and bring people in with actual talent and ability to look at things from a broader minded perspective.
