Shrinkflation is really getting out of hand.

Carney is a Conservative with a liberal sheen. Nobody should be surprised by this.

Daniel Tosh must be happy.

Appreciate the thought. Windows 11 will likely piss me off again in the near future and inspire me to take another crack at it. Cheers.

Single monitor. Using it for couch gaming.

Except when I push a game and target 60 FPS, while dealing with stuttering and really bad frame times that I can't reproduce in Windows.

Yeah sorry, I'm targeting 1440p.

Ryzen 5800x, MSI RTX 3080 10GB, 32GB DDR4 @ 3600MHz, 1TB Samsung Evo 970 Plus NVMe

All of the above. Tried different GPU driver builds, tried Proton-GE, tried scaling back visuals to low... Tested games like Cyberpunk and Oblivion remastered. Not sure if there's something I'm missing?

I've tried PopOs, CachyOS, and Bazzite. All three yielded similar results. I didn't find the performance to be satisfactory unfortunately.

The performance hit in my testing was fairly signficant. I saw improvements with different versions of Proton, but ultimately I was looking at a 5-20% reduction in performance vs my testing in Windows 11 when playing more demanding titles. There were also frustrating anomalies where games would randomly refuse to start or would crash. Yes, you can certainly use an Nvidia GPU and get decent performance out of older titles, but there are still some fairly significant concessions that need to be addressed. This is well documented among the community.

I wanted to, but modern games seem out of the question for me with my RTX 3080. The Nvidia drivers just aren't there yet. I'm likely going to just tolerate Windows 11 until my next build, and make a point to get an AMD GPU next time.
