Hi, I have an Asus vivobook pro 16x oled (M7600QC) optimus laptop with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 Max-Q rated 50w. When I try to use the dedicated Nvidia GPU on Linux, the wattage is only 35w. If I enable the “nvidia-powerd” daemon, it goes up to ~40w. Is there a way to raise the wattage to the rated 50w like on Windows?
I’ve tried the following Nvidia drivers:
- 550
- 545
- 535
- 525
I’ve tried the following distributions:
- *Ubuntu
- Debian
- Fedora
- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
- Arch
- …
I use the laptop mainly for light gaming using Lutris with Wine-GE, 3D modelling and media consumption, thanks!
Is there a chance that the wattage is being somehow measured differently than on windows? Maybe it doesn’t include memory power consumption or something along those lines?
I measured the GPU wattage on linux using nvidia-smi and on Windows using GPU-Z and HWiNFO.
