not working with nvidia driver 470

[codekid-rgb]

Godot version

3.3 stable

System information

Nvidia geforce gtx 970 nvidia drivers 470 GLES3

Issue description

as soon as I launch Godot the issue in the screenshot come up. I think that the driver does not support openGL.

Steps to reproduce

step 1 install gtx 970 gpu. step2 install driver 470. step3 launch Godot and get the error.

Minimal reproduction project

No response

can someone please help?

You need to reboot after installing or updating Nvidia drivers on Linux, otherwise they don't work.

[codekid-rgb]

thank you!

[codekid-rgb]

It still does not work, what do I do?

[codekid-rgb]

Do I need a faster GPU?

Do I need a faster GPU?

The GTX 970 supports OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan. It can run Godot just fine.

Are you using a laptop with hybrid graphics (Optimus) by any chance? Also, how did you install Godot? Did you install a distribution package, the Flatpak/Snap, or did you compile it from source?

When using the Flatpak, you need to also update the NVIDIA Flatpak driver package after rebooting. Running flatpak update -y in a terminal should do the trick.

No, I almost always work with Godot on Ubuntu with GTX 970 and it works fine.

I had this error when manipulating updating/installing OS or changing version of Nvidia drivers(this bug should be also visible in other activities e.g. hen playing games).

I recommend to reinstall drivers, by simply installing e.g. 460 and later installing back 470

LOL, nope, Godot worked mostly fine with a Radeon 6630M xD - here's a benchmark comparison of the two https://hwbench.com/vgas/geforce-gtx-970m-1-vs-radeon-hd-6630m

Your card should be OpenGL 4.1 capable, so the only thing I can think of is either you have a sucky integrated card that doesn't do OpenGL and the system is defaulting to that integrated, or the system isn't picking up your new card at all.

EDIT: ninja'd by the two other guys while I was looking up benchmarks

Check if your driver is correctly installed and active, what's output of the sudo lspci and glxinfo commands. And check your BIOS settings, in some cases you might need to disable secure boot for Nvidia driver to load correctly.

I installed the .deb from the app store on my computer and I am not using a laptop I have a full sized gtx 970 and intel core i5 6th gen with 16 gigabytes of ram

that is the output of sudo lspci

[codekid-rgb]

my chip does have integrated graphics and I have had less graphics performance than usual recently, I will check what I am using.

[codekid-rgb]

hardinfo says that I am using the gtx970.

[Zireael07]

On a laptop with two cards, I've had to forcefully set DRI_PRIME to get Godot to pick the card I wanted it to.

#!/bin/bash
DRI_PRIME=0 ./Godot_v3.3.3-stable_x11.64

0 is integrated 1 is discrete. save to a .sh script in the folder where your Godot executable is and run Godot via running this script.

I am also having problems. I am using Linux 470.62.02 Vulkan driver on a RTX 2060M

When I open Gadot I get multiple

@qumaciel This is unrelated to the issue reported here. Please open a separate issue with a minimal reproduction project attached.

Edit: Issue opened: #52726

[codekid-rgb]

I was using a flatpack accidentally. It works with the regular binary, thanks everyone!!!
