  • It is easier. Raster based rendering does a lot of cheats to make it look realistic that the devs have to come up with and write. To do 4K you need to calculate over 8 million rays and their bounces. Very processor intensive, but much simpler from a programming point of view.

    Now the difference between some of those settings on low and ultra are not really worth it is some cases as they look basicly the same.

    Overall these ray tracing methods are leading to more realistic raster based rendering as the devs can actively see the “problem” areas and make or fix the cheats to look better.


  • Glad they came to their senses. I had trouble setting up one as I have/had a sony group account with no security info which is needed to reset the password. Turns out sony doesn’t filter periods from usernames from email. Just ended up adding a couple to my email address for a new account.

    On top of the thermal paste idea, try doing a ram test. Could also try adding “nvidia_drm.modeset=0” to your kernel commandline or add “options nvidia-drm modeset=0” in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf. It might have that set to 1 somewhere.

    There may be more in the logs as well. Are you able to test in windows? Maybe the gpu is failing as well.

    I can’t tell from that output if you are using wayland or X11. If it is wayland I’d try X11 as the drivers before 555(?) don’t work as well and some compositors may be more unstable with the nvidia drivers.

    I’d also try checking the logs as well. ‘journalctl -b -1 -xe’ to show the prior boot.

    These is my only other suggestions.
