Hey everyone, I built a simple Steam Link setup using an old laptop with an NVIDIA version. It worked fine at first. Now I’m facing some graphics card problems—my GTX 630M isn’t showing up in the NVIDIA X Server or driver settings. Do you know how to fix this? Maybe installing an older driver would help. Let me know!

Does your laptop have optimization enabled? What does the LSPICE command with VGA in grep display?

Drivers will change a little. Stick to the best optimization tips available. If you're only playing games, you likely won't need a GPU—IGPU should work just fine.

Hey everyone, just a quick note—since the laptop had more problems, I halted work on the project. Thanks for your support! Best, Andreas
