I’ve recently installed Zorin OS on my Acer Aspire laptop from 2016. It has GeForce 940MX and i5-7200U. I’ve noticed a problem in certain games where the gameplay feels very choppy despite framerate being high. For example, I’m playing Counter-Strike Source and I have over 100 FPS but it feels like 15 FPS. There are two workarounds
- Turning on V-Sync but it causes input lag and messes up with my aiming
- Setting a scale to 125% or higher, but it makes my screen blurry
What can I do to fix it?
Edit: I tried installing a diffrent driver but now it only shows Intel HD Graphics and nvidia-smi says that it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Switching back to the old driver didn’t help. Did I cook my NVIDIA?
Update: I have managed to fix both issues.
I removed the faulty NVIDIA driver with purge nvidia, and then I inatalled version 570 using sudo apt install in the termimal
I fixed the games issue by switching from Wayland to X11
