Nvidia GPU brocken?
Spirimint Sep 26, 2021
My System Info

Linux Distribution: Pop.OS 21.04
Desktop Environment: Cosmic
Graphics Card: 2060 RTX
GPU Driver Version: 470

Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes]

If this is to do with Steam, please add your system read-out from Steam -> Help -> System Information (please put that into Pastebin/Gist as linked above!):

If this is not Steam, you can still give us a system readout using inxi with "inxi -SbCGxx" in terminal (please put that into Pastebin/Gist as linked above!):

You can note your issue below here

What is the best way to check if my graphic card is brocken? Somehow nothing works anymore after clicking on "display settings" my second screen got black and after restarting the laptop. No game worked anymore. If I plugin my second screen via HDMI nothing happened. I reinstalled my whole system and still. No games is starting, nvidia-settings in terminal does not work, vulkaninfo does not work. If I switch to integrated gpu, games are starting but with bad fps.
How could I figure out what happened to my GPU?

Thanks in advance.


Note any particular steps to reproduce it below here

Hi Spirimint, I had a look through the output you posted and there doesn't seem like any immediate issues. Have you tried a live distribution that has the latest kernel or an ability to easily change the kernel, something Arch-based like Manjaro/Garuda Linux? I'm not saying to change your distribution of course, just as a way eliminate the possibility that it is an issue withihn POP!_OS 21.04.

Thanks for your reply. Someone game me the tip to type " glxgears | vkcube" in the terminal and since then everything works again. I have no idea why. But i'm glad :)

Quoting: SpirimintThanks for your reply. Someone game me the tip to type " glxgears | vkcube" in the terminal and since then everything works again. I have no idea why. But i'm glad :)

Fantastic and glad to hear it works. It is a little odd that just running glxgears makes it work, but glad it does!
