# Ready or Not - NVIDIA Gaming Setup
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This configuration is optimized for:
|
|
- **NVIDIA GPU** (adapted from AMD config)
|
|
- **4K Monitor with 1440p Gaming** (performance optimization)
|
|
- **Steam Tinker Launch** with GameScope scaling
|
|
- **DLSS Support** for enhanced performance
|
|
|
|
## Key Changes from AMD Config
|
|
|
|
### GPU-Specific Changes
|
|
| Setting | AMD (Original) | NVIDIA (Adapted) | Reason |
|
|
|---------|---------------|------------------|---------|
|
|
| `VK_ICD_FILENAMES` | RADV driver paths | NVIDIA driver path | GPU driver selection |
|
|
| `PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU` | Not applicable | `"0"` (disabled) | Allow DLSS detection |
|
|
| `PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI` | Not applicable | `"1"` (enabled) | Enable NVIDIA APIs |
|
|
| `USEDLSS` | Not applicable | `"1"` (enabled) | DLSS support |
|
|
| `STLRAD_PFTST` | AMD-specific flags | `"none"` | Remove AMD optimizations |
|
|
|
|
### Display Configuration
|
|
| Setting | Original | Adapted | Reason |
|
|
|---------|----------|---------|---------|
|
|
| Resolution | 3440x1440 @ 240Hz | 2560x1440 @ 165Hz | Better performance on 4K monitor |
|
|
| GameScope Args | Ultrawide focus | Standard 16:9 + scaling | 4K monitor compatibility |
|
|
| Audio Latency | 120ms | 60ms | NVIDIA typically has lower latency |
|
|
|
|
### Performance Optimizations
|
|
- **DXVK Async**: Enabled for NVIDIA shader optimization
|
|
- **HDR Support**: Enabled for compatible setups
|
|
- **Memory Management**: Optimized for NVIDIA VRAM handling
|
|
- **GameScope**: Configured for 1440p→4K scaling
|
|
|
|
## Files Included
|
|
|
|
### `1144200-nvidia-1440p.conf`
|
|
Main Steam Tinker Launch configuration file. Copy to `~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/gamecfgs/1144200.conf`.
|
|
|
|
**Key Features**:
|
|
- Game arguments: `-noeac -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -dx12`
|
|
- GameScope: 1440p gaming with 4K scaling
|
|
- DLSS and NVAPI enabled
|
|
- Optimized audio latency (60ms)
|
|
|
|
### `nvidia-environment.conf`
|
|
Environment variables for NVIDIA optimization. Reference for manual setup.
|
|
|
|
### `setup-ready-or-not.sh`
|
|
Automated setup script that:
|
|
- Checks dependencies (STL, GameScope, NVIDIA drivers)
|
|
- Backs up existing configurations
|
|
- Installs optimized config files
|
|
- Creates DXVK configuration
|
|
- Sets up launch helper script
|
|
|
|
## Quick Setup
|
|
|
|
### 1. Run the Setup Script
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /mnt/NV2/Development/claude-home/gaming/examples/ready-or-not/
|
|
./setup-ready-or-not.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Verify Steam Tinker Launch
|
|
- Open Steam
|
|
- Go to Ready or Not → Properties → Launch Options
|
|
- Leave empty or add `%command%` if needed
|
|
- STL should automatically detect the game configuration
|
|
|
|
### 3. Test Launch
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Option 1: Use the helper script
|
|
~/.local/bin/launch-ready-or-not
|
|
|
|
# Option 2: Launch through Steam normally
|
|
# STL will automatically apply the configuration
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Expected Performance
|
|
|
|
### With This Configuration
|
|
- **Resolution**: 1440p gaming scaled to 4K display
|
|
- **Performance**: 60-120+ FPS depending on settings
|
|
- **Features**: DLSS enabled, HDR support, optimized audio
|
|
- **Compatibility**: EasyAntiCheat disabled (offline/modded play)
|
|
|
|
### Performance vs Quality Settings
|
|
| Game Setting | Expected FPS | Notes |
|
|
|--------------|--------------|--------|
|
|
| Ultra + DLSS Quality | 60-80 FPS | Best visual quality |
|
|
| High + DLSS Balanced | 80-100 FPS | Good balance |
|
|
| Medium + DLSS Performance | 100-120+ FPS | Competitive gaming |
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Game Won't Launch
|
|
1. Check Steam Tinker Launch is installed and working
|
|
2. Verify NVIDIA drivers: `nvidia-smi`
|
|
3. Test without STL first (disable in Steam properties)
|
|
4. Check logs: `~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/logs/`
|
|
|
|
### Poor Performance
|
|
1. Verify DLSS is enabled in-game settings
|
|
2. Check GameScope is working: look for scaling indicator
|
|
3. Monitor GPU usage: `watch nvidia-smi`
|
|
4. Try disabling GameScope temporarily (`USEGAMESCOPE="0"`)
|
|
|
|
### Display Issues
|
|
1. Verify monitor resolution: `xrandr`
|
|
2. Test different GameScope refresh rates
|
|
3. Try windowed mode first, then fullscreen
|
|
4. Check HDR settings if applicable
|
|
|
|
### Audio Problems
|
|
1. Increase latency: Change `STL_PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC` to `"120"`
|
|
2. Check PipeWire configuration
|
|
3. Test with different audio devices
|
|
4. Disable audio enhancements in game
|
|
|
|
## Advanced Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Custom Monitor Refresh Rates
|
|
Edit the GameScope arguments in `1144200.conf`:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# For 144Hz monitors
|
|
GAMESCOPE_ARGS="-W 2560 -H 1440 -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 144 -f --immediate-flips --rt --mangoapp --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --"
|
|
|
|
# For 120Hz monitors
|
|
GAMESCOPE_ARGS="-W 2560 -H 1440 -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 120 -f --immediate-flips --rt --mangoapp --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### DLSS Quality Settings
|
|
In-game DLSS options will be available with this configuration:
|
|
- **DLSS Quality**: Best visual quality, ~20% performance boost
|
|
- **DLSS Balanced**: Good balance, ~30% performance boost
|
|
- **DLSS Performance**: Maximum FPS, ~50% performance boost
|
|
- **DLSS Ultra Performance**: Competitive gaming, ~100% performance boost
|
|
|
|
### Ray Tracing (Experimental)
|
|
To enable ray tracing support:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# In the config file
|
|
USERAYTRACING="1"
|
|
STL_VKD3D_CONFIG="dxr11"
|
|
```
|
|
**Note**: Ray tracing requires RTX series GPUs and may significantly impact performance.
|
|
|
|
## File Backup Locations
|
|
The setup script automatically creates backups:
|
|
- Config backup: `~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/gamecfgs/1144200.conf.backup.[timestamp]`
|
|
- Logs: `~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/logs/`
|
|
- DXVK cache: `/tmp/dxvk-cache/`
|
|
|
|

|
|
- **Monitoring**: MangoHUD provides performance metrics
|
|
- **Logging**: STL logs are available for troubleshooting
|
|
- **Scripts**: Helper scripts follow your existing patterns
|
