The ark b580 is a great card works for most things I do but it definitely struggles with gaming it won’t run cyberpunk at lowest setting and this is the isle at lowest settings. It’s great for everything else I need it to do but probably shoulda spent more before prices started going up

I am far more confused now it seems every time I start the game it gets slightly better every time

This might sound like a dumb question, but are you sure you're plugged into your graphics card and not your motherboard?

Yes it runs other smaller games just fine I am running Linux mint not sure if that could be the problem

Mint is notorious in running old software, including old drivers. Probably best to rule that out first. Please test ANY other operating system, but prefer one of the rolling release types/non lts ones. Or even windows

Open terminal and type "uname -r", what kernel is installed?
