Description

NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version

nvidia-driver-535-open

Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.
  • I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.
Operating System and Version

Linux Mint 21.3

Kernel Release

Linux mint 5.15.0-91-generic x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please confirm you are running a stable release kernel (e.g. not a -rc). We do not accept bug reports for unreleased kernels.
  • I am running on a stable kernel release.
Hardware: GPU

GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile / Max-Q Refresh

Describe the bug

I have a laptop with dgpu and igpu and only the igpu is being used in applications with nvidia-driver-535-open installed. I have set active profile to nvidia(performance mode) in the applet but applications still use my igpu instead of my nvidia dgpu.

To Reproduce

install nvidia-driver-535-open and open any 3d application

Research direction

Start by reviewing nvidia-bug-report.log.gz and reproducing the issue with nvidia-driver-535-open on Linux Mint 21.3 using the listed kernel and GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile hardware. Done means applications consistently use the NVIDIA dGPU rather than the integrated GPU when the NVIDIA performance profile is active.
