Few days ago I did the weekly system update which included latest NVIDIA drivers. Everything went smoothly, no error messages, systems works as usual. Today I wanted to play some game and I noticed that the performance was horrible. This is what I found

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c)
        Subsystem: Dell Device 0aff
        Kernel driver in use: i915

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Dell Device 0aff
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

 
xrandr --listproviders            
Providers: number : 0

I’ve tried to reinstall drivers, and ran some fixes I found online but still no luck. Any ideas how to fix it?

update

Just remembered. After last drivers update I wasn’t able to run any Steam game. I always got some directx error. Before I had no issues.

update 2

I’m on Fedora 40, currently I’m using drivers downloaded directly from NVIDIA website. Before that I was using whatever drivers from these repositories

The only thing I remember related to messing with drivers was playing with podman containers accessing my gpu (nvidia-container-toolkit).

Currently I’m using driver version 550.107.02

        Well then follow every single guide online that is telling you exactly what people here are telling you. Remove every single Nvidia package, disable secure boot, then reinstall.

          I did all those things before I asked a question.

            Then you’ve done something wrong. Revisit the steps, learn how to read ‘dmesg’ and debug. Show more logs.
