Not sure about 3D accelerator <solved,Figured out>

I read the sections regarding drivers, intallation, multimedia.. I have an nvidia 1030gt 2gb ddr5 video card. I'm quite sure it has 3d acceration capability..

but in Plasma install (fresh install) in the Kinfocenter section(s) regarding

Direct Rendering (GLX)

3D accelerator - Unknown

Kernel Module - Unknown

Direct Rendering (EGL)

3D accelerator - Unknown

Kernel Module - Unknown

I have nvida 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.48 as OPEN GL Version

I have nvidia and nvidia-utils installed.. am I missing something? or is this "normal"

I don't know what other information is required, let me know..
Any information, direction is appreciated.

You should probably try the open source xf86-video-nouveau driver first. Use glxgears, included in mesa-demos, to check for hardware acceleration.

Re: Not sure about 3D accelerator <solved,Figured out>

would i have to uninstall nvidia?

btw, I did blacklist neoveau.. should un-blacklist it?

isn't nvidia better? it's a newer card.. just bought actually about a month ago.

Re: Not sure about 3D accelerator <solved,Figured out>

How did you install the nvidia drivers?  Is plasma using X or wayland?  Why did you manually blacklist nouveau?
Please post the output of glxinfo from mesa-demos in code tags.

Also your xorg log and the outputs of "lspci" and "dmesg".

lspci output > https://pastebin.com/n7YqNnth

dmesg output> https://pastebin.com/X4LyCsyi

glxinfo output> https://pastebin.com/7H4CmPYz

I installed nvidia sudo pacman -S nvidia

I mean, there's NO problem everything works as I use it.. just wondering if 3D acelleration is something I should be using or at least enabled anyway...

hope this helps.. kind of new at this

Re: Not sure about 3D accelerator <solved,Figured out>

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 1030/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.48
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:

Is what's relevant, everything's fine. That window tries to query some attribute the nvidia driver doesn't fill in.

Thank you so much... just thought I wasn't using my hardware to it's fullest capability due to a missing package/driver/...I'll put solved!

Re: Not sure about 3D accelerator <solved,Figured out>

You can remove the manual blacklisting of the nouveau module as the nvidia package provides a blacklist entry itself.
