RTX 5070 on Linux (help request)

Clean install: Arch Rolling
Kernel 6.13.6-arch1-1
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D
GPU: nvidia RTX 5070 (non-TI)
Driver: NVIDIA 570.124.04 – nvidia-open-dkms
Desktop Env: KDE Plasma

Ran a clean install of Arch, installed KDE and the nvidia drivers through CLI, everything appears to be working except the GPU.

Tests conducted:
Phoronix:
Unigine Heaven: ~30 FPS
CPU Stress Test: 100% on all cores, cancelled early, only testing CPU capability

via Steam:
Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Proton): ~13 FPS
V Rising (Proton, GE Proton): 15 - 17 FPS
– Testing variations: Wayland, X11, launch option: DXVK_HUD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH=/tmp __GL_GSYNC_ALLOWED=1 __GL_VRR_ALLOWED=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only %command%

The Talos Principle (Native): ~15 FPS

via Arch:
Xonotic (Native): 60 FPS, occassionally getting up to 120 FPS
SuperTuxKart: 60 FPS
0 A.D. : Menu ran at 60 FPS, unable to enter match due to crashing

Blender Render - BMW Benchmark
GPU (Cuda): 2:56.77
CPU: 1:03.12

Additional information:
The GPU never went over 75 watts
CPU seemed to never work hard until stress testing

I’ve run out of ideas. Overall, it just seems that nothing will make the GPU actually kick in and run like it’s supposed to. Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated.

I don’t think I’ve seen any Linux reviews of this one yet. Are you sure it’s fully supported yet? It sometimes takes a little extra time.

I haven’t had an Nvidia card, but I think the first things I’d try are the latest kernel, beta nvidia drivers, nightly mesa, all that jazz.

From what I can find, the previous drivers had this issue with the 5070ti and the current driver fixed that. I’m not sure what they’ve done with the 5070 as of yet. The 570 driver is the beta, so I can’t get a newer driver. It looks like kernel 6.13.7 is an option (released 3 days ago). I can try that one and see if there are any changes

Edit:
No difference with kernel 6.13.7-arch1-1

According to the nvidia forums, the newest driver has fixed these issues. I tried to force the driver into my system, but it caused boot issues. I’m sure I could TTY and get it installed, but I’ve ultimately decided to return the 5070 and get something else
