NVidia driver loaded but not used? | Arch Linux Community | Page 1

Hey everyone.

I have a ROG STRIX laptop (amd + nvidia), and recently my games refuse to launch with my NVIDIA GPU, instead always using my AMD integrated GPU.

It all used to work before. Might have something to do with me occasionally using the nouveau driver to use with Sway.
I otherwise use KDE.

I'm on Nobara, which is based on Fedora. Any ideas?

[johnythecarrot@nobara-pc ~]$ lsmod | grep nouveau
[johnythecarrot@nobara-pc ~]$ lsmod | grep nvidia

nvidia_drm            131072  5

@forest hill pacman -Syu, then reboot

... on fedora?

#

Also yes there is a system update which is downloading now

#

could that really cause it to outright stop working?

At this point I'm not ruling out that it may be Satisfactory itself

The driver itself seems to be properly loaded, so it probably has something to do with the game or another part of your system
