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!
