have been using nvidia cards (and others) forever and had few problems, but maybe getting old is now a problem.
have a new dell desktop i7-11700 with onboard intel RodketLake-S GT1 [UHD Graphicks 750] and nVidia GA104 [GeForce rTX 3060 Ti]
The last time I purchased a computer, I followed the recommendation to switch to AMD, specially for the video. And they were right, I had to do nothing. I can do things and get even better/faster video, but at it is I can even play 3D games. As you, I used Nvidia before.
I entered the bios and configured using the NVidia card rather than Auto.
Wait, double video, intel+nvidia? Is that "Optimus"? It is a big source of trouble. I did not know of desktops using it, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus Search also for bumblebee at our wiki. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee If it is optimus hardware, the handling and installation of the drivers change completely. Sorry, I can't explain how. Daniel has that, I'm sure he can describe with colourful expletives his experience. Maybe it is not optimus, being a desktop. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
