Nvidia Rtx 3060 Windows 7
Christian Erdmann
The laptop in question is a recent Lenovo Legion 5 with 5800H w/ radeon graphics and a Nvidia 3060. I am following the OVMF GPU Passthrough guide on the Arch wiki, which is the same guide I used to setup my desktop which works flawlessly.
I have managed to get kvm / Virtman up and running with a new install of Windows 10 Home. The VM sees the Nvidia GPU (drivers install manually from nvidia etc etc). However if I reboot the VM I get an error 43. I can get it back if I uninstall the device and reinstall the driver manually
The 3060 is in its own iommu group so I think everything host side is good. The display panel defaults to using the radeon graphics in the bios. I have also checked that the vfio-pci driver gets attached to the 3060.
We always recommend that the nvidia drivers be installed from rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver repo since those have been tweaked and all packages tested to work properly on fedora. Sometimes installing the drivers directly from the nvidia .run file does not work well and also requires the user to manually update the driver (reinstall) with every kernel update.
BTW, as I understand it the 3060 card is only supported fully with the very latest nvidia drivers and firmware so if your driver is not up to date and the latest firmware installed those symptoms seem common.
Please explain exactly what is happening and when, in detail, so we might better understand the conditions, including which apps and what environment you are seeing the issues with.
Posting the output of inxi -Fzxx will give us some needed info.
By force I mean running this application natively with wayland (as i understood). One example is Discord. When I run Discord normally, it flickers in some places. When flickering, something is displayed for a short moment that is no longer there. If I start Discord with the following command: Discord --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland there is no problem. Another example would be Spotify, the application just goes black for a short moment in between. Maybe I can upload a Video where you can see it
Inxi shows everything normally. In the future, when output sizes allow please post text from the screen by copy & paste into the preformatted text tags on the toolbar. This makes the data permanently part of the thread and does not depend upon another site to store them. Pastebin only keeps files for 24 hours by default.
I am having the same problem. I have an Nvidia RTX 3060. I have been having the issue since I switched to fedora. My problem is described here: Fedora 36 Nvidia, Screen flickering. I am not sure if that is the same problem or not.
No, it does not flicker under Xorg. However, Xorg has its own annoying nuances. All sorts of GNOME Shell pop-ups seem to steal window focus. This includes: top bar menus and layout switcher pop-up. And it is very annoying, because I use them rather frequently. In the end, lately, my Fedora experience has worsened drastically.
Graphics card is definitely fine for Revit since Revit barely uses it. Render plugins like Enscape depend on the graphics card. 3060 does well for screen renderings with Enscape and is hard at work when used with the Oculus headset.
Windows 10 has the resource monitor where you cna see each CPU core load and GPU load etc. Open some complex 3D views and turn them around and you see GPU load increasing. if it goes fluently and doesn't run to 100%, GPU will be fine.
do you have a workstation or a laptop at work? The performance of my laptop looks good for the moment, but I'm not so happy with the thermal performance. I was expecting a cooler keyboard; choosing the "cold" thermal setting I have good results, but you can hear the noise of the fans.
I also have a Logitech mouse (G502Hero) and with Revit I work much better, even if it is a gaming mouse. I have only one screen that I usually connect to the PC, placed on the desk, but I have not yet tried to connect it to the new PC.
I'm doing the test that you recommended me and at the moment when opening my most demanding views the GPU does not exceed 20%, then it goes down immediately. I also had other windows open, such as the browser, so I'll do a "cleaner" test later.
Thank you for your reply! The problem of pc heating arises because I wanted to take an i9, instead of i7. I am reading on the web that with the i7 there are no heating problems. Also I took a touch screen and this contributes. Interesting the suggestion of the VPN, in the future I could consider it.
