nvidia-settings VS gamemode

Over the last few years, Nvidia's Management Library has seen quite a bit of work, with a lot of useful functionality that works regardless of your display protocol. You can see the reference docs here or take a look at the most up-to-date header for a more complete function list from the nvidia-settings source. However, C isn't a very friendly language for newbies, and it's a bit cumbersome for small scripts, so we'll be looking at a python wrapper instead.

Not for this but I really doubt they would even answer since they never bothered to answer this simple request: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-settings/issues/48

The NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU installed in this system is supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx Legacy drivers. Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more information. The 515.65.01 NVIDIA driver will ignore this GPU. Continuing probe...

even the memory overclocking is bugged.

I didn't install any gpu drivers manually. At first I left both distros at default, then on Ubuntu I installed the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers that appeared for me(515.76) through the CLI, using apt search nvidia-driver. Before installing through the CLI, I went to "Software and Updates" and it didn't say that there was any proprietary driver in use, like it does for some people. It said something along the lines of "manually installed driver" and all of the checkboxes were grayed out. Now, after restarting the system and having the latest driver installed, I'm receiving the following message during the booting process: "NVRM: The NVIDIA Geforce GTX 760 GPU installed in this system is supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx Legacy drivers. Please visit https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more information. The 515.76 NVIDIA driver will ignore this GPU. Continuing probe..." I visited the website and apparently the legacy drivers are the correct ones for my gpu model. However, the message keeps showing up over and over on the screen and the system won't boot, so i don't know how to proceed yet.

Secondly, Nvidia partially implemented the Graphics/Memory VF offset functions. I say partially because the memory offset is the only one that works at all, the memory offset is partially bugged, and it's only supported on Linux for some reason. It turns out that they have nothing to do with voltage like I thought but are instead a cross-platform way to overclock an Nvidia GPU. Or, at least, that is the intent. If Nvidia ever implements it on Windows, Envious FX will allow you to overclock(or underclock) your GPU if supported.

NVIDIA Linux drivers >= 418.81.07 (Note that older driver releases or branches are unsupported.)

WARNING: The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 GPU installed in this system is supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx legacy Linux graphics drivers. Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more information. The 510.39.01 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver will ignore this GPU.

According to the GitHub page:

A performance optimiser, GameMode by Feral Interactive. It’s not required for anything to launch (unless maybe you’ve configured something to run via gamemoderun and GameMode isn’t actually installed on your system!)

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. Just create a file called gamemode.ini in $HOME/.config/, and copy inside this.

Thinking about running "gamemode" https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode.

oh, you're referring to gamemoderun.

The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming

This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/

You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/

If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.

Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Here's a link, looks like they are indeed working on it: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/pull/416

Didn't include your OS but if you are on Ubuntu people reported before missing some 32-bit libraries as seen here https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/issues/254
