A massive technological leap for graphics - and we've been hands-on with four games.
I’m completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it’s running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.
The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace’s face look “sexier” because apparently that’s what realism looks like now.
I wouldn’t be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they’re advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.
Meanwhile my windows PC restarts if I launch a game with kernel level anti-cheat, after updating my GPU driver a few months ago. Just tried the new driver, instant reboot.
MS and Nvidia are fucking entirely made of vibe-coding morons, and apparently testing is no longer needed.
Because despite what people say Linux doesn’t “just work” with nvidia, I can’t afford an AMD GPU right now, and because the people I know only want to play games with kernel level BS.
I don’t think I want to retry at this point until I get a different GPU - I definitely appreciate the offer though. I also forgot to mention that I produce music mainly in Ableton, and have a ton of third party plugins.
In case it helps someone:
Current specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor
RAM: 32.0 GB DDR4
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER
I’ve tried several distros over the years, and since ~2022 have tested arch, pop!, and nixOS. NixOS was definitely my favourite, but I’d have graphical issues in web browsers, never mind games.
Some games have sort of worked, but they always ran SUBSTANTIALLY worse than they do on windows. Even games with legitimate Linux versions like Factorio looked like shit. It’s hard to describe, but i always had weird horizontal tearing/delay patterns in the games (didn’t look like a v-sync issue to me).
I generally try the different versions of whatever the newest drivers are for my GPU at the time. I used to have a 1070, then a 3070, then a 4070. I have always had the same issues on the distros i have tried in the past as well (primarily ubuntu).
Thankfully i have switched to an ultrawide monitor now, but back when i had two monitors with different resolutions it was an absolute nightmare.
I would love to be able to dual boot again, but without being able to sign the bootloader for anti-cheat without an insane recurring time commitment, i’m not really interested currently. And i know id end up wasting 10s or 100s of hours debugging things that shouldn’t be broken in the first place.
I have a friend with a 1650 super which is way worse and he’s running it fine on Bazzite with no issues. Although there’s definitely a performance penalty which is narrowing on a monthly basis.
If you manage to get a second drive, you could dual boot without any issues at all and no risks whatsoever.
The only real blocker is Ableton IMHO. There’s no way around that.
Pretty sure it’s always been like that. You technically can enable secure boot, but to my understanding updates will force you to set up custom keys again, and I’m fairly sure Nvidia refuses to release drivers that can be signed.

any particular reason you put up with it ?
Because despite what people say Linux doesn’t “just work” with nvidia, I can’t afford an AMD GPU right now, and because the people I know only want to play games with kernel level BS.
It sounds like you tried one or more Linux distros and it didn’t work out for you. Sorry to hear that.
Would you mind sharing your specs and the distro you tried so other people in the future can learn from your experience?
Also, if you are still interested in ditching windows I could do some research and see if I can help you out with your current specs.

I have many drives. Some games won’t run if Linux is installed anywhere, however.
I haven’t heard that ever before. Very Interesting.
Disk A (with Windows + Game 1) won’t run if Disk B has Linux installed ?
