 Crony Akatsuki | * Tho I still enable it and have it run in background not just when the game starts on my pc (rtx 5060 ti, i5 14400f) and legion go | 09:52:08 |

nice, guess I'll take NVK for a spin again How does one go about enabling nvk in nixos? tried to do that couple times but always go mixed results | 09:53:14 |
 niklaskorz | basically just don't set services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ]; | 09:54:01 |
| niklaskorz | then you use NVK | 09:54:03 |
| niklaskorz | it's the default, so to say | 09:54:13 |
| Crony Akatsuki | Don't you need to enable gps and some other stuff so that nvk can properly change speed on your gpu,? | 09:54:45 |
| niklaskorz | ah also set hardware.graphics.enable = true; if it isn't already enabled by your desktop environment's module | 09:54:44 |
| niklaskorz | right, depending your GPU | 09:54:59 |
| niklaskorz | which one do you have? | 09:55:04 |

which one do you have? 5060 ti | 09:55:13 |
| niklaskorz | 40xx and 50xx auto-enable GSP on nouveau | 09:55:19 |
| Crony Akatsuki | Ah, that nice last time I tried nvk that wasn't the default | 09:55:42 |
| niklaskorz | possible 😅 they make immense jumps in progress every year | 09:55:56 |
| Crony Akatsuki | So i just enable graphics and don't set nvidia xserver nvidia | 09:56:16 |
 magic_rb | Yeah it wasnt till recently ish | 09:56:21 |
| Crony Akatsuki | And don't enable nvidia driver also right? | 09:56:33 |
| magic_rb | Provided you have the firmware available (which you do) then it should just work | 09:56:43 |
| Crony Akatsuki | Because currently I ise wayland and don't have xorg module set to nvidia | 09:56:49 |
| magic_rb | (Side not, there has been discussion about unifying the two kernel space drivers so that you could run both nvidia and nouveau but it didnt materialize) | 09:57:20 |

Yeah it wasnt till recently ish I tried back in 10th month of last year last time, couldn't start couple games back then | 09:57:20 |
| magic_rb | * | 09:57:29 |
| niklaskorz | note that you won't get hardware accelerated video decoding in nouveau and that performance is still only like 30% of the proprietary drivers | 09:57:30 |
| niklaskorz | but besides that it's amazingly stable | 09:57:34 |
| magic_rb | 50% ish in some cases | 09:57:42 |
 K900 | 26.0 should improve NVK perf a whole lot | 09:57:49 |
| K900 | AFAIK | 09:57:51 |
| magic_rb | Did they land texture compression finally? | 09:58:04 |
| K900 | Honestly not entirely sure | 09:58:19 |

note that you won't get hardware accelerated video decoding in nouveau and that performance is still only like 30% of the proprietary drivers I don't really do hardware accelerated playback on my pc either way, I mostly just play games and manage mf fleet of servers using nixos | 09:58:26 |
