nvidia-settings frequency settings

I'm having a hard time getting arch to remember the frequency settings
in the nvidia-settings. When I reboot and go back into it, the settings are lost and the checkbox to enable the frequency settings is unchecked.

Is there anything I need to do?

Thanks.

Re: nvidia-settings frequency settings

You can enable the "Coolbits" option in your xorg.conf, which is statically set the freq a bit higher, other than that, there's really nothing you can do. nvidia-settings don't have a "restore after reboot" option.

Re: nvidia-settings frequency settings

If you add the following to your .bashrc file the new frequency settings will not be lost after every reboot. Be sure to change where it says 390,700 to whatever new frequencies you want to apply. 390 is for the core/gpu and 700 is for the memory.

nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=390,700

Re: nvidia-settings frequency settings

Hi,

thanks for all your replies!

I solved the problem by:

1. Copying the default .nvidia-settings-rc to my own file .nvidia-rc
2. Adding 3 new attributes in the .nvidia-rc
0/GPUOverclockingState=1
0/GPU3DClockFreqs=350,450
0/GPU2DClockFreqs=350,450
where 0 is the display device
3. Add nvidia-settings -l --config=.nvidia-rc to the gnome Preferences->Sessions->Startup programs list

Alternatively, you can skip the settings file and add all of your attributes to step 3 like:
nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=350,450 -a GPU2DClockFreqs=350,450
