Yeye i wrote a reply correcting myself with an excerpt of wikipedia. Thanks for pointing that out.

As Anivia pointed out 5G does apparently come in lower frequency aswell for higher range. That does drop the bandwidth quite a bit, but its still gonna be as good or better than 4G in terms of bandwidth. So my original comment was a bit too critical maybe.

5G can be implemented in low-band, mid-band or high-band millimeter-wave. Low-band 5G uses a similar frequency range to 4G cellphones, 600–900 MHz, which can potentially offer higher download speeds than 4G: 5–250 megabits per second (Mbit/s).[3][4] Low-band cell towers have a range and coverage area similar to 4G towers. Mid-band 5G uses microwaves of 1.7–4.7 GHz, allowing speeds of 100–900 Mbit/s, with each cell tower providing service up to several kilometers in radius. This level of service is the most widely deployed, and was deployed in many metropolitan areas in 2020. Some regions are not implementing the low band, making Mid-band the minimum service level. High-band 5G uses frequencies of 24–47 GHz, near the bottom of the millimeter wave band, although higher frequencies may be used in the future. It often achieves download speeds in the gigabit-per-second (Gbit/s) range, comparable to co-axial cable Internet service. However, millimeter waves (mmWave or mmW) have a more limited range, requiring many small cells.[5] They can be impeded or blocked by materials in walls or windows or pedestrians.

Isnt the bandwidth also gonna dip to 4G levels tho if you drop the frequency to those levels?

The countryside will never be covered by 5G. The range is massively decreased due to the higher frequency. You would have to litter the forest and fields with antennas. 4G isnt going away any time soon unless we intend to cut off all sorts of infrastructure and farmers and hikers and emergency services from internet access.

4G has a range in the 10+ km area

5G is in the low hundreds of meters range so its a fancy city tech

Oh yeah u right, i didnt even look that close. I just assumed nobody would create such an asymmetrical atrocity. I can never look at golf balls the same. Not that i do ever look at them.

The real answer is giving up on the concept of phones sadly. Laptop for life is much more realistic.

Arguably 5G is a massive downgrade in easy deployabilty for most countries so 4G will stick around for a bit longer, but yeah, even 5G might not set you up for life.

hmm okay i dont really know anything about pop_os, but yeah it seems that it doesnt like it if you install stuff outside of its pre selected set of packages. my next GPU will definitely be an AMD one, nvidia is just a mess.

well good luck then i guess 🫤

Have the same gpu and had same issue give me a second to find the solution again.

Now back at PC:

Right so i searched for a while back when i got those issues and the only solution that really worked for me was installing 550 instead. Idk how PopOS / ubuntu does things. So doing this could be easy or super fucking annoying.

depending on the repo you are using for the nvidia driver, you might be able to specify the driver version during install like so:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550

I am on debian12 and installing from repo didnt work for me as there were lots of dependencies that had version conflicts. I ended up installing it with the .run file which is really tedious.

Im gonna be honest tho the chance that this will fix your issue is not that high. Nvidia problems are so fucking diverse and could be due to any number of specific system component and package combinations. But if its already broken, might as well try right?

Banger of a post. Is that supposed to be that new mascot?

Nothing was said about framerate. Could be 1 FPS...

This is honestly a legit die imo. I assume those balls are pretty well balanced.
