okay too address every thing at once

  1. no i haven't and i don't know how too try the modeset parameter do i go into the terminal?
  2. i am using 2 devices too store games so ill check that
  3. i do have firefox and discord running in the background but that shouldn't be that taxing and no only 5.2 gigs of my 32 gigs of ram is being used rn

You said "Doesn't work" without trying the steps.

I posted a link that tells you how to do it - in detail:

Now, when you do not ask about how to do something and then say, "That did not work," I would believe you tried that I would then try something else that is less likely to help but possible, because I was led to believe that the most likely does not work thinking you had tested it.

Please Respect the Troubleshooters and Our Time.

I agree, clearly RAM and additional software is not the issue.
That is mysterious why the mouse would show an odd 30ms delay... But that may be a flash in the pan. Unless it did that constantly, I suspect it not to be the sole cause of stuttering, much less able to cause a crash.

The Nvidia 4070, however... needs addressing by its maker: Nvidia.
It has known issues, some stemming from its Ada Lovelace architecture.

  • Display Issues: Flickering screens or black screens, especially on high refresh rate monitors.
  • Performance Degradation: Suboptimal performance with some games or applications due to poorly optimized drivers.
  • Fan Behavior: Complaints about unusual fan curves or coil whine, especially under low loads.
  • Hybrid Graphics Problems: In laptops with the RTX 4070 (e.g., Optimus setups), issues with GPU switching are more frequent on Linux.

I have not found anything specific between DRM and Nvidia 4070 at this time. But given its rendering issues, and that you have a specific error for Direct Rendering Manager (DRM), I would test the nvidia-drm.modeset=0 parameter.

i edited grub too add nomodeset now i'm gonna run half life 1 and check the logs

24

im pretty sure this is the exact same thing tbh

Well, your first log was 650 lines in length and contained a Direct Rendering Manager error.

The second log is 15 lines long and does not contain a DRM error.

Have you launched the game to see if the stuttering and crashing has changed?

Have you tested nvidia-drm.modeset=0 rather than nomodeset?

i thought maybe just showing the last few minutes would be more convenient for you but ill show the whole thing now

Beneath all teh Advices that were giving her, I only want to ask for Clarification:

Because You use an Nvidia Card: Does Your System run in Wayland or Xorg Mode? Because in Zorin 17 it would be better when it would run in Xorg. To check that, go to Settings>About and look if there stands Wayland or X11. If there stands Wayland, try it with switching to X11/Xorg.

To do that, go to the Login Screen (not the Lock Screen). Simply reboot for that. On the Login Screen click on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. It hast to be appeared. When it is apeared, You should see in the bottom right Corner a Gear Icon. Click on it and choose the Option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in and test if it works.

Xorg, according to the pasted logs.
