[SOLVED!] Minecraft extremely slow on 5.10 kernel

Hi! This is my first post here, sorry if I'm a bit new to these things.

I've been playing Minecraft for a while. Then, I upgraded my Kernel to 5.10 (Zen). More games have been running on 5.10, but Minecraft broke. It's running at 10-15 fps. I found what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it. In this screenshot, on the top right, it shows "Mesa/X.org". On everything under 5.10, it showed "RTX 2070 Super".

Thank you!

Please post the contents of Xorg.log  and the output of dmesg.  Also what driver are you using for the RTX 2070 Super GPU?
Please post thumbnails or links to images.

Hi!

Here is the output of Xorg.log: http://ix.io/2M84
Here is the output of dmesg: http://ix.io/2M82
The drivers for the GPU are 460.32.03

Re: [SOLVED!] Minecraft extremely slow on 5.10 kernel

If this is an unedited nvidia-xconfig xorg config remove it. The xorg log also shows that it gets access to the card after having tried to use nvidia. Set up https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … de_setting especially the addition of the nvidia modules into your initramfs and regenerating the image with mkinitcpio (... and setting up the pacman hook to ensure it's enabled on updates as well)

Thanks for the reply! The instructions are a bit confusing, but is this correct?

/etc/default/grub has the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet loglevel=3 nowatchdog nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

I'm not exactly sure how I should properly configure the xorg config. It was made with nvidia-settings.

Re: [SOLVED!] Minecraft extremely slow on 5.10 kernel

The important part is the second paragraph of that link

Edit your mkinitcpio.conf go to the MODULES= line and make it read

MODULES=( nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm )

regenerate your images with

mkinitcpio -P

reboot.

As for the xorg.conf, did you generate it with any specific intention (as in did you enable CompositionPipeline or do a special monitor setup or so) or did you just created it because you thought you needed it? If the latter it usually only contains unnecessary bloat and might as well be removed, if the former, you might want to post it here so we can check whether it's logically set up correctly

Re: [SOLVED!] Minecraft extremely slow on 5.10 kernel

I used nvidia-settings so it could have both of my monitors positioned the way I like them. Sadly, I can't reboot for a bit (I'm in a zoom meeting) but I'll let you know how it goes when I do.

Update: your solution worked flawlessly! Thank you so much! I am very sorry for the late response, but it was a Zoom for school so I couldn't reboot. I really appreciate your help and dedication to this board, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you very much,
