That's likely a kernel issue. Happened to me also like a year ago. After updating to the latest kernel I have not had any problems.
Could also be that the card is not staying in the pci-e slot or is sagging as I have seen this happen often with heavier cards. It causes black screen, instability and performance issues in general.
Nah, this is an ongoing thing for me, for years across different Nvidia machines… Besides, my 3090 is on a riser anyway.
It wasn’t dramatic running Proton in Linux, within a few percent, and I mostly only tested modded Stellaris and Rimworld which are kinda weird examples.
