Nvidia linux reverse prime. Prime run glxinfo grep opengl renderer prime run vulkaninfo. Geforce rtx 20 series. Note that even though prime render offload doesn t completely turn off the gpu it still uses a lot less power when its not being used 5 watts so its not pointless it achieves its goal of using a lot less power compared to having both gpu and cpu. Geforce rtx 20 series notebooks.
Quoteeven prime support was expanded to allow prime synchronization when using displays driven by the x86 video amdgpu driver as prime display offload sinksso they noticed more and more laptops sold with amd apu and nvidia dgpus. Fixed a bug that prevented 8k displays from being used in portrait orientation on pascal and earlier gpus. Geforce rtx 2080 super geforce rtx 2080 geforce rtx 2070 super geforce rtx 2070 geforce rtx 2060. Recreate your initrd with some special settings which are needed to enable dynamicpowermanagement and remove nvidia kernel modules from initrd so some special udev rules can be applied to disable nvidia audio and nvidia usb and make runtime pm for nvidia gpu active.
Added support for the following gpus. As of this writing these commits are only in the master branch of the x org x server and not yet in any official x org x server release. To run a program on the nvidia card you can use the prime run command. Geforce rtx 3080 geforce rtx 3090 geforce mx450.
