NVIDIA dynamic boost wattage
  • I measured the GPU wattage on linux using nvidia-smi and on Windows using GPU-Z and HWiNFO.

  • Is there a way to raise the wattage to 50w like on Windows? For some reasons, Linux only goes up to 40w instead of 50w, even with dynamic boost enabled.

  • NVIDIA dynamic boost wattage

    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!
