Anyone know how to make the Finals use my graphics card? (fedia.io)

So i have a problem plsying the Finals on linux. They are clearly garbage graphics. The walls dont even look how they are supposed to and the permanent fog makes it unplayable. The shadowing is too dark. Forget fps, when play on windows and linux it is night and day. Its as if the game isnt using its correct shaders or textures.

Has anyone dealt with this? Im thinking that the finals is not utilizing my nvidia graphics card so if anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate.

I tried letting vulkan load the shaders, ive tried skipping vulkan shaders and there is no difference. Im using proton glorious egg and i have no idea what to do or what the problem is.

EDIT: putting “ PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% -dx11” in launch options fixed the bad graphics but now i have fps issues unfortunately.

That's not how you do that.

Check a GPU monitor like 'nvtop' and ensure the card is engaged. Also check 'nvidia-smi' and ensure your driver is properly loaded and ready to work.

Hey - I'm not OP but thanks for the nvtop suggestion. Just installed it and yeah -- neat!
