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

NVIDIA dynamic boost wattage in c/linux@lemmy.ml

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.

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!
