Hello! I recently installed EndeavourOS and I have terrible graphics performance. The desktop lags and every video i try to play whether it be streamed on youtube or local runs at 1 fps it seems. I have an nvidia GPU, 780 ti, and i installed the drivers the way the wiki described by using the nvidia-installer.
I googled around to see if I could find a solution but nothing works.
I think those drivers are not the best for your card. They are for newer cards (10xx and 20xx GPUs). Check out the drivers download page of nvidia. Enter your card gen and select linux operating system and see which driver nvidia recommends. Keep the information in mind and go back and install that driver via packman from the official arch repositories removing nvidia-440 driver while you’re at it.
Yeah I guess I had this wrong, confusing the 6000 and 7000 series with 600 and 700.
Did anything here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA have any effect on your gpu situation?
As far as I know the i7 4930k does not have an iGPU.
EDIT 2: Well whale wale. Things just got more interesting. I decided to remove the nvidia proprietary drivers and install the open source ones to see if that did anything. Now I get nothing but a black screen. Wish I had an amd card.
Anyways, unfortunately I have to put the Linux switch on hold and go back to windows until I get a different gpu/more compatible hardware. Thank you to all those that tried to help, greatly appreciate! I’ll definitely would like to give this distro another try in the future.
