literally have no clue why it should take me like a week and reinstalling drivers twice to fix screen tearing when shit was working fine before i did some updates. like i tried upgrading to the 510 driver to see if it would fix anything, but it just made shit worse. downgraded back to 470, re-enabled full composition pipeline and now everything is magically fixed lmfao
my first recent foray into linux almost made me give up because i was constantly crashing on bootup
turns out the specific version of the nvidia drivers was causing hard crashes cos i was using a displayport cable to my monitor, and somehow it resolved when i switched to an hdmi cable. i have no idea how you can fuck up drivers so bad that that can possibly be a thing but here we are
shortly afterwards my graphics card blew up when i loaded some game, im not saying the nvidia drivers blew it up, but im also not not saying it
anyway bad time to have to buy a new card but the silver lining is that the amd drivers are much better
yikes, thanks for making me avoid the 3070 ti
if that was the sequence of events honestly i believe you just had faulty hardware
