Is anyone using EWBF on linux and if so can you tell me how you are OC the cards? I am using the nvidia-settings and I am setting core, mem and fan speed but I feel like I am missing something else.
nope, that's how you OC.
In MSI afterburner I have a PowerLimit and TempLimit, do those correlate to nvidia-settings. I have searched and looked at many articles and cannot find anything. Just wandering if setting the fan speed in linux is how temp limit is handled in MSI afterburner
TempLimit is the temp you allow the card to reach before shutting down.
You adjust the fan curve to maintain the temp below your TempLimit. Ideally 55c to 65c.
right now I have
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:N]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=150'
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:N]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=525'
nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:N]/GPUFanControlState=1"
nvidia-settings -a '[fan-N]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=70'
Are there any other settings to control temp?
Enable Persistence Mode
sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1
Power limit to 90w
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 90
watch nvidia-smi
Thanks a billion, that was what I was missing. With the persistence, does it stay set through a reboot, or do I need to add those 2 commands to my startup script?
you need root privilege open after.local file
sudo vietc/init.d/after.local
and add this lines
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 1
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pl 90
while i agree with all of the supplied information about OC-ing nvidia-cards under linux i just found my system (GTX970 + GTX980) to be stuck in performance-level 2 (out of a range of 0 - 3) and ignoring GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset -commands.
running
nvidia-settings -q GPUPerfModes
confirms that memTransferRateeditable=0 and memclockeditable=0 for perf < 3 for my GTX980 and =0 in all perf-levels for my GTX970.
i'm not sure about the GTX970 but i am somewhat confident that i've set a custom GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset on the GTX980 in the past but cannot remember how.
can anybody hint me to what i might need to do to enable/set performance-level 3 on my cards?
many thanks in advance,
