If you’re having issues with the proprietary drivers, you should try the open drivers for nvidia. Depending on your distro and install, you might also be having problems because of using wayland instead of X.
You might also get better mileage out of a different distribution altogether as some are intended to be a better experience for gaming and will have some important things pre-installed. This all depends on your skill level and the amount of time/effort you have to dedicate ofcourse.
What doesn’t mane any sense is that I’m running Bazzite which should be super optimized. I made a whole long post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/40074859
I’ve not used bazzite before. But I was just thinking you might be having weird issues if steam is installed as a flatpak or some other sandboxed environment.
Here’s what I’d try (in order of ease to try):
switch from Wayland to x.
ensure steam is natively installed.
test the open drivers instead of the closed.
try a different distribution like endeavorOS which is great for gaming.
Test in-between each step and switch back or tweak as desired. You really shouldn’t have to spend more money for new hardware unless your GPU is faulty.
