Low fps with dual gpu desk nvidia system

Hello!,

I'm in the process of leaving windows and I find myself with a problem that I'm not entirely sure how to approach.

My system has two Nvidia cards, the case has an inverted layout and because of airflow, the strongest GPU is on my second PCIe slot, I don't know if it's related to the problem but I suppose it helps to know.

My monitor is connected to the card on the second PCIe slot.

When opening games with steam, most of them are running at <50 fps and the GPU usage is very low, this happens even with games that should run well over 200 fps, the GPU section shows both cards switching every few seconds:

here it shows 23&#37; for the 5090 with 32gb vram

here it shows 20&#37; for the 5070 Ti with 16gb vram

When checking with the nvidia-smi command, it shows that the game is being assigned to the GPU on the first PCIe slot, not the one the monitor is connected to.

I'm using ProtonUp-Qt to use GE-Proton11-1 and it's being forced on steam settings

I tried connecting the monitor to the GPU on the first PCIe slot to check, the problem persists.

I haven't tried to remove one of the cards yet.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Any way to control or customize the ROG Crosshair X870E Extreme 5" LCD screen on Linux?

Hello,

I'm checking if I can control this screen directly from Linux (CachyOS):

I'm planning to have a dual boot with linux and wanted to know if there is an equivalent to AC to control this screen.

I just put wallpapers there, don't need to see stats or anything

How to use the taxi move app? other app recommendations?

I'm trying to call a taxi and only get an "Attention!, Your request has not been processed. Please contact the radiotaxi" message...

I don't speak italian, if possible would prefer to book from an app or from whatsapp to write the address properly.

Taxis don't seem to answer calls from the Uber app either.

uber black charges double than what the taxi indicates so I want to try that first just in case.

Is a 3km~ ride for three people and some luggage

I have a flight to Rome from Barcelona in a few days, I'm making sure my backpack and carry on fit but still wanted to ask, are they checking 100% of the people or just some unlucky few?

Also, what about the PISA airport?

Thanks!
