RTX 3090 being detected on Proton as GTX 480?

Hello All,

Just installed a new RTX 3090 into my workstation and it seems that games in Proton detect the card as a GTX 480!

I’m assuming there will be a new update of proton/dxvk at some point that will accommodate for this but until then does anyone know a way of changing what hardware is reported through proton/wine (it might be handled by DXVK not sure)?

Many Thanks

looks like that ebay deal was too good to be true afterall /s
curious does this break game support?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I’m assuming some games seem to simply check the card generation and then assume a feature won’t work rather than attempting to initialize it so specific features are just greyed out in the graphics menu. Most of my existing games though I have been able to play no problem - some of them detect its a GTX 480 but say it has 24gigs of vram…

Idk about dxvk settings but you can probably change game ini files, that’s what I’d do if it were windows

I wonder if it uses the wrong “optimizations” if the 3090 is recognized as a RX480 o.O

Thanks for the suggestion… :slight_smile:

Can you override detection of specific hardware features within that on normal games?

maybe not override the detection but you can probably force which API to use
