Can you run the following commands and post the output?

sudo pacman -S --needed  --noconfirm glxinfo

Then it apears to me that your dGPU is working as intended.

it doesnt feel it

#

i cant record

#

and do stuff i would be able with a rtx 3050

full elm Jul 30, 2023, 10:49 AM

You have an Optimus laptop, which means you can offload arbitrary rendering tasks to the dGPU with the following environment variable

env __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json <command>

That's another problem.

well i can but fps drops like mad

#

and when recording my pc lags

full elm Jul 30, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

You can use the nvidia-smi command to check if the process is actually using your NVIDIA GPU.

brittle fern Jul 30, 2023, 10:52 AM

how can i make by default use my gpu?

Please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus carefully and follow the instructions there.

NVIDIA Optimus

#

However, as the RTX 3050 has a rather small amount of VRAM (4GB), I would advise against it, and use render offloading instead.

brittle fern Jul 30, 2023, 10:58 AM

it loads everythgung on the cpu

I assume it's not fractional scaling? what is the native resolution of your display?

Is the resolution correct? This looks like a scaling (DPI) problem.

What's your scaling setting?

Have you tried using envy control? and optimus-manager? that might configure the nvidia card way better than you manual can for the time being.
