dGPU: P106-100
Distro: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS x86_64 (Downgraded from Ubuntu 25.04)
Kernel: Linux 6.11.0-29-generic
DE: Hyprland 0.39.1 (Wayland)

Nevermind, I'm changed from Hyprland to Gnome Wayland and now it works without any fix, thanks for helping btw!

Was it about tdp?
Those are very similar cards.
Let us know how the real performance is in games and what problems you encounter.

I don't think so...
I think it's all about desktop environment and driver problem... while Gnome runs perfectly fine without any tweakings, Hyprland on Ubuntu struggles to open Steam and can't find any trace at all.

Before switching from RX580 to P106-100, Steam used to run perfectly fine on Hyprland, but after switching it, it struggles to run and always ended up with "Segmentation fault" error.

And about games, some game runs perfectly fine, but almost of it struggles to run in proton. I'll fix the game problem later.

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. :p2chell:

From what I managed to find, the card has pci-e 1.0 x16.
That's why I was curious about what the performance would be.
I was curious about what kind of driver it is, I found it hard to believe it was official from Nvidia. But it was the pcie that intrigued me more.
