I have been using Linux to game now mostly for around 1-2 months and halo infinite runs but runs like crap compared to win 11. When I run the game on windows I get 144 fps almost constantly on Linux I get 70-80. I am new to this and not sure what to tweak or change to get it to run better if anything. I play via steam using proton experimental. The mouse movement also feels off like I have mouse acceleration on or input lag.

Other games I have played have ran just as well on Linux as windows.

Edit: OS is Linux mint

Thanks

    Which GPU do you use? I believe mint defaults to the nouveau drivers for Nvidia GPU’s, which generally has significantly worse performance compared to the proprietary driver.

        You should really be using the 550 drivers at this point.

        There’s also a bug with Halo Infinite where frame pacing is bad until you toggle vsync on and off.

          How does one upgrade drivers if they are not in the driver manager (this is what I have used so far)

          I found this should I do this but with 550?

          As mentioned above, usually, it is preferred to try installing the recommended driver. In order to do that, you just type in: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall If you want something specific, type in: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-450 You just have to replace “450” with the driver version that you want and it will install the driver in the same way that you install an application via the terminal.

            Ah I guess Linux Mint doesn’t have the latest driver in there yet. That’s a bummer. When it comes out, I do recommend that you upgrade though.
