[07:10] morning all [09:04] hello guys I am xavier since a moment my ubuntu is not working I don't know why. [09:08] hi webchat42 [09:08] if you're looking for support with ubuntu , please ask in #ubuntu [16:31] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2023-March/005585.html [17:52] I'm getting higher FPS with the nouveau driver than the prop nvidia driver, how come? [18:15] lol, i bet the proprietary didn't load properly [18:20] daftykins, I re-installed it, rebooted etc .. [18:23] that's not a guarantee [19:16] ice9: maybe ask for support in #ubuntu [21:45] I likely explanation is that games might use less detail when certain features aren't available, and thus get higher framerates... [21:45] or maybe nouveau is just faster on some (older?) hardware for some use cases... [21:46] it's not like the nouveau driver is really bad [21:46] that's a very good point, i foolishly assumed feature parity! :D [21:47] user's gone though [21:48] the nvidia drivers tend to be optimised for the most recent hardware also [21:48] and most recent hardware features [21:50] seen plenty of pieces that disprove it makes as much of a difference as many claim [21:51] you mean nvidia vs. nouveau? [21:52] nah having an old card and then keeping up with drivers, say [21:53] well, nvidia tends to drop support for older hardware pretty quickly [21:53] (compared to some other companies, at least) [21:54] which is why Ubuntu something like ~15 driver versions packaged [21:54] for nvidia [21:55] i don't think i've felt disadvantaged by whatever the pace may be [21:55] well, the older driver versions are still around, just not officially supported, I think
