That is not an option for Arch users like me, and that is not a permanent solution either. Some people have reported having downgraded to an older driver version and that having worked. This systemd service will enable dynamic boosting, which will allow your GPU to draw more power than the power limit without actually increasing the power limit.

However, the Arch Wiki suggests that enabling rvice is a possible workaround. The bug report is from last year and there have been many versions of drivers since, and presumably none of them have fixed the issue since the github issue is still open and I'm affected right now. This is listed as a bug here (link provided by Arch Wiki). I've so far seen reports of people with 20, 30 and 40 series laptop GPUs affected on the internet so far. If the default power limit is lower than the maximum power limit, you are affected. If it is, you are affected.Īlternatively, type sudo nvidia-smi -q -d POWER which will return your GPU's maximum power limit (which is what you would get on Windows) and its "default" power limit (which is what you can achieve on linux). Compare this to the advertised TDP of your laptop GPU from your laptop's spec sheet, and see if it is lower. It will display the current power draw of your GPU as well as the maximum allowed. To know if you've been affected, plug your laptop to the wall and use nvtop. If using Windows, this does not affect you and your power limit would be the actual power limit your laptop manufacturer set it to. If your laptop GPU is affected, you are left with an artificially lower power limit for your GPU that is well under your laptop's design capabilities, leaving precious GPU performance on the table. With this driver, they also removed the ability to manually change the power limit using nvidia-smi so you cannot change it back as you could before. Since driver version 530.41, NVIDIA has locked out some laptop GPUs out of their maximum power limit to a lower value ( source - Arch Wiki)).
