I have an NVidia RTX 2070 Super in our tower. The NVidia drivers are installed but the system was showing hitching when Chromium opened and low frame rate in Minecraft. The About section in settings shows Graphics as Software Rendering and I can’t find any sign that the OS has detected my PCIE discrete GPU.

Looks like someone reported on the NVidia forum that the 4070 Super doesn’t work well with the 535 drivers that are currently being used by Endless OS and they needed to install the 550 drivers to get it working. Do we know when the drivers are getting updated?

I’ve been tinkering with a new 4070 super as well. Tried 535 and 545 series drivers on Gentoo and the card had worse performance than old 1080 Ti. The card got reported as “NVIDIA Graphics Device” by the driver. Here are the exact versions:

535.154.05
545.29.06-r1

I upgraded to driver version 550.40.07 and the card gets now reported as “NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER”

For the time being until I hear back from someone I’m switching our my daughters graphics card for an AMD one. Which is working as expected.
