  • i wouldn't recommend debian since they've dropped 32 bit support in trixie, their latest release. the previous release, bookworm, still supports 32 bits archs, but it eol's less than a year from now

  • you're right. i thought my card didn't support it because i might have misread the feature matrix. adding to the confusion, /dri/0 is my onboard video (which also happens to be nvidia) and that's where i got the 400 mhz number from

    still, i just tried it reclocking seems to drive the video signal crazy

    edit: yeah it's definitely unsupported, the display turns completely into scrambled eggs. i'll try a newer kernel just in case

  • wait, for real?

    according to this online psu calculator: https://www.coolermaster.com/pt-br/power-supply-calculator/

    • my current psu (400 watts) can barely handle a 970
    • and for very little it can't handle the radeon

    i could buy a new psu, though... it would be cheaper than a new graphics card, i think

  • bem lembrado o olx. é que pra comprar no olx tem que preparar bastante o emocional, mas eu moro no rio, então deve ter bastante opção sim. 300-400 é o que eu paguei na minha, então acho que tá de boa

  • that's not my experience with it at all. on bookworm with the proprietary it worked pretty well (with only occasional crashes every other month). even now it works fine aside from the lower performance (and no suspend).

  • i'm actually okay with hardware suggestions, but they tend to be useless since a $50 or 40€ graphics card normally translates to a R$900 one. a few factors contribute to this

    1. exchange rates. currently, 1USD ~= 5,5BRL
    2. purchasing power. the avg income of brazil is around ~$8500/yr. 1USD is way more money to us than it is to usians and euros
    3. taxes. based on exchange rates alone, $50 converts to around R$270, but most electronics in brazil are imported and are subject to heavy taxation. the "$50 video card" recommended to me by someone in the comments is sold online for R$870 at its cheapest.

    although i'm talking specifically about brazil, the same applies to any other emergent market (the rest of latam, india, etc).

    this is why hardware recommendations are rarely useful to us. i'm still open to them, though. once in a while something useful pops up.

  • You could get a used AMD card that is 10-30 times as powerful for like 30-50€

    i'm open to suggestions


    about the age of the card: i actually bought it new 2-3 years ago. it's pretty common in emergent markets for cheapo cards to be shipped brand new with obsolete graphics chips. this isn't a problem on windows, but then someone owning this card switches to linux and is hit with a massive performance loss bc of unsupported drivers. it sucks.

  • i'm pretty sure there's an equivalent radeon card for around the same price and i'm willing to buy it as soon as i can, but i'm trying to get as much mileage as i can out of my current card

  • i'm sorry if i sounded obtuse, it was not my intention. i could get the info you want later, but my point is that i am sure that the nouveau driver is configured correctly because 1) debian ensures graphics are working properly on desktop installations for a wide array of hardware configurations and 2) i made sure dri, mesa, the firmware and the x11 driver are all installed. i just wanted to say in my reply that going down that route of investigation isn't worth our time because it would lead to nowhere and what i'm seeking help with is installing the proprietary driver

    still, i appreciate your willingness to help. i'll check everything you mentioned when i get home just to make sure

  • as i said, there's no software problem in my setup. i've checked nouveau's feature matrix for my card (a geforce gt 710) and it's one of the best supported cards, but sadly performance levels are wip. that's the main issue

    besides that, everything works fine

  • geforce gt 710

  • sadly that translates to almost 900 reais

  • okay that's much better. i might actually try using the patch then. any guides?

  • id usually avoid nvidia as well but sadly this was the cheapest option to me at the time

    If your CPU is a 11th+ intel generation

    it's an amd fx 8300 🥲

    i should've told my pc is old

  • my configuration is optimal as far as nouveau goes. performance on wayland is similar to x11

  • old card (geforce gt 710)

  • yeah but then i remembered debian is the best distro on the planet

    (also, this problem isn't exclusive to debian)

  • why do you need to use such an old driver version?

    old card. it's a geforce gt 710, it's only supported up to the 470 nvidia driver

  • Cry cry

  • lmao that's not how the meme works. it sounds anakin is saying he's angry with the neurotypicals and then the remaining panels make no sense
