I'd say the GTX 960 is unlikely to be the bottleneck. Plasma really does not need a recent GPU.
@leopold That's the thing though, I built the current PC during the pandemic and crypto craze. Everything is relatively new, except the GPU, because I couldn't afford one, but I needed a better CPU for audio recording and editing.
@shanesemler @leopold IIRC the proprietary nVidia drivers only work at 30 fps with KDE Wayland.
You don't need a super duper GPU to run Plasma at a smooth framerate. My 8th gen integrated Intel GPU works fine.
@be @leopold That might be it as I use the proprietary drivers. I’ll just stick to XFCE.
@shanesemler @leopold You could also try a KDE X11 session.
@be @leopold I'll probably just stick with XFCE for now.
