I don’t think that’s it, I just checked out and the game only takes around 25-26% ram and it was running reasonably well with 4,5gb ram already taken. that 25gb ram sounds like someone is playing the game with 4k graphics or something. bg 3 lists only 8gb ram as mimimum requirement and 16gb is recommended
edit: I don’t know if gnome takes up some grpahics card or cpu resources which affect the game performance since it’s a lot bigger program than i3wm
I have no clue. I’ve been wondering the same thing, since I have 16gb ram so ram shouldn’t be the issue
baldur’s gate 3 was really unstable with gnome for me, and the fps was like half of what it’s supposed to be. but with i3 I get decent fps and it’s really stable! I’m not that sure about other games because I havent been paying attention to the fps but I feel the performance is generally better. no other game has shown that drastic change though :D
I have a little bit, but due to gaming I stick with Xorg. also I just use i3wm nowadays which helps me get better performance in some games
gtx 980 gang! I got mine free my from the dad of my ex back in like 2019
yeah it’s quite odd. but at least I want to use i3wm anyways so it doesnt really matter
