[SOLVED] Cant use nvidia GPU on a hybrid laptop

Hi, I'm using asus tuf gaming laptop, it has two GPU's: an integrated Intel i5-11400H, and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile. For nvidia I've installed drivers following this guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvid … tion-guide, picking drivers for Maxwell (NV110) series and newer.
I'm having troubles making my system/apps to use nvidia GPU. Currently when launching Civilization 6, the game uses intel graphics. How can i make it use nvidia GPU instead?
I've tried few things:

1. Supergfxctl:
only modes I can set here is:

❯ supergfxctl -s
[Integrated, Hybrid, NvidiaNoModeset]

with currently using Hybrid mode, the result is the same as it was before installing supergfxctl.

2. prime-run
if running prime-run steam, steam opens and is displayed in nvidia-smi:

however, Civilization 6 wont launch, with following output:

Re: [SOLVED] Cant use nvidia GPU on a hybrid laptop

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … figuration
Do you have lib32-nvidia-utils installed?
Does it work (w/ prime-run, in doubt along setting the vulkan environment) in an X11 (eg. openbox) session?

nvidia-settings is gonna be constrained by
1. this isn't an X11 session, no point in having X11 options
2. the GPU is possibly not even a VGA device (doesn't control outputs)
so that's not really surprsing. Please replace the oversized images w/ links.

Re: [SOLVED] Cant use nvidia GPU on a hybrid laptop

Thank you for the help! Looks like its problem with nvidia on wayland, as prime-run worked flawlessly in dwm with no tweaks.

Do you have lib32-nvidia-utils installed?

- yes, I have lib32-nvidia-utils installed.

Does it work (w/ prime-run, in doubt along setting the vulkan environment) in an X11 (eg. openbox) session?

-yes, I've tried running prime-run in dwm session, it launched Civilization 6 using nvidia gpu, which was dispayed in nvidia-smi.

-prepending  DRI_PRIME=, like bellow and then running running prime-run in the same terminal session, changed nothing

❯ DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_01_00_0 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer string'
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2

It's only supposed to change the card seen by the command at the end .

Try replacing glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer string' with the command used to start CIV 6 .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [SOLVED] Cant use nvidia GPU on a hybrid laptop

DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_01_00_0 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

- at launch option of steam, changed nothing.

Same if launching steam with:

❯ DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_01_00_0 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam

it produces the same output as when running only  prime-run steam:

Re: [SOLVED] Cant use nvidia GPU on a hybrid laptop

if running prime-run steam, steam opens and is displayed in nvidia-smi […] however, Civilization 6 wont launch

Since glxinfo clearly picks up the nvidia GPU, does https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/ … _emulation work?

Otherwise there's actually no obvious error in teh steam output but have you seen https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/ … ization_VI ?

Thank you for this article. Turns out it was just game specific problem, I've tried launching other native linux games through prime-run steam, they worked without any tweaks using nvidia GPU.

For Civ 6, using windows version of the game fixed the problem.
Thank you for your help.
