Re: Why does my Nvidia card work exactly once or twice?

545 drivers worked, but needed the right Nvidia toolkit to go with it. Ubuntu auto installs v11.5 for the cuda-toolkit. 545 drivers need v12.2-12.3. I suggest you use that driver and get the CUDA Toolkit version 12.3 from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive Select: CUDA Toolkit ...

Re: Linux mint crashed completely when playing games using Nvidia mx350 even though I have the right drivers installed.

On my laptop, here is the PowerMizer page from the Nvidia Settings utility. I can't underclock the GPU, but if I overclock by adding 100 in the Graphics Clock Offset window and then press Enter, the Max value next to level 3 under Graphics Clock changes from 1911 to 1999, and there appears the messa...

Re: Linux mint crashed completely when playing games using Nvidia mx350 even though I have the right drivers installed.

Try using this command to lock the maximum graphics clock frequency. I've seen in another topic that it works with the MX450 chip, but that has Turing architecture: sudo nvidia-smi -lgc 139,1300

Re: [SOLVED] Help increasing external monitor refresh rate, nVidia GeForce RTX 4060

I haven't ever seen the option for a 545 driver, only 525 and 535. That's strange it's still not available yet because Nvidia released it at the end of October. To get it, you would have to add the graphics-drivers PPA with these commands: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa apt update...

Re: Linux mint crashed completely when playing games using Nvidia mx350 even though I have the right drivers installed.

I have done some testing. And I found the issue it is not thermal but may be driver settings. Here it is: Something like dynamic boost for dGPU that runs when my laptop is plugged in to the wall but is not running when not plugged in. According to this Nvidia article, Dynamic Boost on Linux is only...

Re: [SOLVED] Help increasing external monitor refresh rate, nVidia GeForce RTX 4060

I suggest you temporarily disable the xorg.conf file by renaming it: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old Then remove the Nvidia driver by using Driver Manager to select xserver-xorg-video-nouveau , and then check if the boot delay is eliminated. If it is, then try installing nvidia-dri...

Did this start after using the xorg.conf file?

If it started before using that file, then did it occur before installing the Nvidia driver?

Re: Installing 2 GPU drivers

To get the Nvidia card using the Nvidia driver to work with the AMD card, then the Nvidia card should be in PCIe slot 1, and the AMD card will be in slot 2. If that still doesn't work, then set the Primary Graphics Adapter to slot 2 in the BIOS/UEFI. If the Nvidia card is in slot 2, then it will onl...

Re: Monitor is not recognised - HP ZBook Laptop

As SMG has already stated, HP ZBooks have a problem with non-working HDMI ports in LInux. Would you use this command to see if the actual BIOS vendor is listed: sudo dmidecode | grep Vendor The inxi output lists HP but that's probably not the actual manufacturer. Also, I would like to examine the la...

Re: NVIDIA-drivers v535 aren't working with RTX 4070

Did you test the suggestions in my previous post. Also, Nvidia-545.29 was just released. Is the stuttering eliminated if you set the PowerMizer setting from Auto to Prefer Maximum Performance on the PowerMizer page in the Nvidia Settings utility? If that helps, then you can try setting the Graphics ...

RAZVAN, I assume your Mint installation is a dual-boot with Windows, where you can get 360 Hz?

If they have the graphics-driver-ppa installed, then they would see the update come through Driver Manager.
I had added that PPA and it still wasn't available.
