Oooh, interesting, so you're right that when I get the lag, there's a lot of CPU usage. Also there was definitely a system update before it started happening - although I can't say exactly when because I wasn't gaming on this system for a few days.
I'm on Mint 22.1 and I've tried uinstalling and reinstalling through the software manager GUI, and I've also tried:
None of that changed the problem. I also made sure I restarted the system.
Am I doing that right? Are there any other steps that I'm missing?
I used the Nobara Driver Manager to do it, so i can't really tell you how it works on Mint. It might be that youi have to reinstall your video drivers too, since those functions are closely related in my driver manager. FWIW, you might wanna look at the available renderer options for vulkan.
This is where i can reinstall Mesa and my Drivers, maybe it helps:
I explicitely chose Nobara because it's well documented that Nvidia Cards tend to cause issues, and Nobara makes handling the situation easy.
Okay, thanks, I'll take a look at my options there.
And I do also have an nvidia card. Thanks for the help!
