Did he first have to travel back in time to a time when this was hard because that would break a man.
I had a hard time getting drivers for an RTX 4070 setup on Fedora a couple months ago. Not that I'm everyone, but I'm relatively competent so I could see how it would be an experience many people have shared.
I set up my 4070 TS (the brand new one) on Ubuntu 22.04 about two months ago and my god was it a pain in the ass. Took like two days to do and even after that it would still hit a screen freeze issue every thirty minutes that took another week to find a half-assed solution for…
I installed a new system wih a 4070 TI Super as well, but with openSuse. It installed the drivers right away during installations,, no issues, gaming flawless and fluid (no HDR I'm steam tho). Interesting that the experiences are so different
Huh, that’s certainly interesting! The hacky solution ended up having to do with power states which is kinda annoying - I have to set the GPU to use max power state because if it goes into the min state and then I walk away for 5-10 mins, it drops out of the PCIe slot and I need to reboot. SSH still works but you can’t reattach it w/o a reboot. I’m running a PCIe gen 5 mobo though and I heard about some potential problems with that, so maybe that was related. Could also be the fact that I ran a Quadro RTX 4000 on the same system/OS for a year or so and didn’t want to do a full reinstall, so it probably had somewhat to do with leftover drivers and crap
