I’ve inherited a laptop running Intel and a Nvidia MX150 (2gb)

My experience so far is terrible. I’ve got GTAV installed and set to use the card and the performance is a stuttering, input lag, tearing mess.

Most of my research points to a lack of Vulkan support on the card.

Would this perform better on Windows? 😓

I wanted to use this machine specifically to run GTAV.

The Intel gfx, under Debian, are capable of running Stray on minimum, with zero issues.

But GTAV, even on minimum, is still stuttering. Like 6fps.

And No Man’s Sky, on Nvidia, is even worse than GTAV. On Intel, it’s almost as bad.

I’m pretty bummed… Is this card only usable in Windows? Or is it just a bad card (not broken)?

    I switched to proton 6.x and dx10 and now it’s running 😎

      Just can’t change any of the graphic settings without it crashing.

      Running at 1280x720 at 60fps

      All lowest settings though. Good enough.
