    I believe Bazzite uses the open kernel driver, which requires a 1600 series card or newer. For a gtx970, you’ll need to use the proprietary driver. Most distros support it

      Correct, but that is why there are two different Nvidia images, bazzite-nvidia and bazzite-nvidia-open. OP just needs to use bazzite-nvidia for the older/legacy cards.

        I thought I did, they had a drop down menu to select based on my card. Maybe I screwed that up, will double check, thanks

          You probably did but, there are two Nvidia entries. I’m assuming you downloaded the one under Modern GPUs because it makes sense for your main PC, but a GTX 970 would need the entry that is under Older/Legacy GPUs.
