NVIDIA GPU not being used (Bazzite 41 NVIDIA Edition)

Bazzite
7

I had the same problem on my system with

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7600
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

I solved the it by first following Secure Boot Instructions - Bazzite Documentation to enroll the NVIDIA driver & KMOD signing key for secure boot and then creating the following configuration file in my home directory.

~/.config/environment.d/nvidia.conf:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

Now logout and log back in and run the following command to confirm that the NVIDIA GPU is being used:

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

A bit late to the party, but I hope this helps out someone! :sweat_smile:
