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.

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 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.
