Few days ago I did the weekly system update which included latest NVIDIA drivers. Everything went smoothly, no error messages, systems works as usual. Today I wanted to play some game and I noticed that the performance was horrible. This is what I found

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c)
        Subsystem: Dell Device 0aff

        Subsystem: Dell Device 0aff
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

 
xrandr --listproviders            
Providers: number : 0

I’ve tried to reinstall drivers, and ran some fixes I found online but still no luck. Any ideas how to fix it?

update

Just remembered. After last drivers update I wasn’t able to run any Steam game. I always got some directx error. Before I had no issues.

update 2

I’m on Fedora 40, currently I’m using drivers downloaded directly from NVIDIA website. Before that I was using whatever drivers from these repositories

The only thing I remember related to messing with drivers was playing with podman containers accessing my gpu (nvidia-container-toolkit).

Currently I’m using driver version 550.107.02

    Could you show us the kernel command line parameters (in /etc/default/grub)? Is the modeset along with other params enabled? I’m not a fedora user, so I may not be of too much help.
