Hi all,
I recently started using debian, and it has been fun. I installed gnome to start with, but now I want to use KDE.
Now i have a laptop using a 4050, with the NVIDIA drivers installed and working.
The problem lies with the performance of games. Now that I installed KDE, just like how I did it on GNOME (just following the wiki), it seems that the performance is not the same at all.
I looked at the GPU utilization, and on GNOME it could reach 100% with over 650 fps in minecraft. Meanwhile on kde-plasma-desktop, The GPU utilization keeps being stuck at around 40% with around 110 fps.
The weird part is, is that when i lower the load the gpu util keeps rising (in this case i lowered the render distance). But when the gpu DOES hit 100% utilization, the input latency gets to around 2 seconds which is insane.
Yes, I turned off vsync and the fps limit for minecraft in both GNOME and KDE. And, both are installed on a fresh install of debian 12 with only the NVIDIA drivers, minecraft and steam installed.
I Also, i tested this when i installed kde-standard instead of kde-plasma-desktop, but the performance was just as bad.
Does anybody know why it is like this and how i can fix this? is KDE just less good for gaming (i would have no idea why because it is litterally still on debian 12)? Or should i just stick with GNOME (the lazy option)?
