Nvidia SUCKS! (discuss.tchncs.de)

I am trying to repeat my 10 Benchmarks video on my 3080M laptop, which I haven't really used for a while apart from testing NVK. I had forgotten just HOW much Nvidia sucks. I had to reinstall the OS cause OpenSUSE stopped booting after I installed the drivers the first time. X11 is ALSO buggy on Nvidia and crashes randomly. windows won't show, the Steam Friends List window hangs. This is almost unusable.

NAK and GSP cannot be merged soon enough so I can get rid of this proprietary atrocity.

No, but we are talking about a STREAMING service. Which means, an ISP would have to be beyond terrible if it couldn't provide decent streaming performance under an 10 Gibps connection. Which thankfully, is not the case even for Africans, Nigarians or any other "sub third-world country."

What? No, games arent just "streaming", the time between you seeing stuff and and the server processing your inputs reacting to this new state of the game should be short, you can easily do this with a 500mbps connection with low latency but will not work with a 10gbps with 200 ping.

Additionally, if you have a spotty 10gbs connection, you'll still have a bad experience. The maximum capabilities of something doesn't define how it can be used in the real world. I'm not denying some people can use it just fine, but it's not mainstream for a reason.
