Description
Hi, I'm the developer of GWE and I'm looking for a way to control the RGB lighting of Nvidia cards under Linux.
Currently the nvidia-settings app only allows to control the brightness via the GPULogoBrightness property but this option is not available on many new cards. For example:
- Gainward GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Phoenix GS
- Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1080
- EVGA 1080 FTW
- ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Ti
Are there plans to add Linux support for the RGB lighting of these cards?

Research direction
Start by reviewing how nvidia-settings exposes the GPULogoBrightness property and whether the listed NVIDIA cards provide any RGB-control interface under Linux. The issue does not name source files, tests, or an implementation entry point. Done would require defined support for controlling RGB lighting on the affected cards, along with a documented way to verify it.
