[SOLVED] NVIDIA 3070TI not performing on ArchLinux

I'm having trouble getting my NVIDIA RTX 3070TI graphics card to work.

The performance is simply zero.

Here's my setup:
Ryzen 9 7900X (with integrated Radeon Raphael GPU)
32GB RAM DDR5 6000Mhz
Geforce RTX 3070TI 8GB:

[oscar@archlinux logs]$ uname -a
Linux archlinux 6.6.50-2-lts #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 10 Sep 2024 14:57:31 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I run heaven benchmark with DRI_PRIME=1 and without and the results are a joke, 3-7fps, my machine freezes and eventualy crash!

Can you guide me on how I can proceed to resolve this? I'm not good at Linux by the way...

compositor: kwin_wayland driver: X: loaded: nvidia gpu: nvidia,amdgpu
…
renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 18.1.8 256 bits)

You seem to be running plasma/wayland in a reverse prime setup and probably even on software emulation.
Try the behavior on plasma on X11 and then please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Tks for help, but how can i try on X11? I think that X11 already is my environment, aren't? I would appreciate it if you could give me a link with instructions on how to proceed!

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA 3070TI not performing on ArchLinux

It's not, since a amdgpu exists it is picked as a  potential renderer but no screen is attached to it but due to it existing an attempt can be  made at loading a wayland session with an improper setup.

I'd reccommend you completely disable the amdgpu in your UEFI, then if you want to test xorg, select the Plasma on Xorg session in SDDM otherwise if you want to test wayland properly add "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" to your kernel parameters.

Your tip for add "nvidia-drm" solve my problem! A small correction is put underscore in dash place and was "nvidia_drm.modeset=1". I put this parameter on my GRUB configuration file in "/etc/default/grub" and after i run "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg", then restarted and voila!
