Plans for Dedicated GPUS?

[AdsonCicilioti]

Hi! Congratulation for this applet! Nice work.

Do you have plans for support Dedicated GPUs?

Hi!

Yes and no? :)

I guess my honest answer here is that I need to study a little bit both the nvidia/amdgpu drivers to see what options one could modify and what may be useful to have it in in you widget.

Given the fact that I personally never had the need to modify on the fly nvidia/amd gpu parameters, I would appreciate any suggestion on first of all what parameters/options one might be interesting to have in the widget.

Thanks for this excellent tool. I've been waiting for such a tool for a long time.

First of all wow, AWESOME job dude.. really.. I had switched from GNOME recently and there I always had heavily used the cpu power manager but missed always the possibility to control the GPU..

well I can speak for Nvidia only but here it would be great to have to possibility to change the "Preferred PowerMizer mode":

https://rastating.github.io/how-to-permanently-set-nvidia-powermizer-settings-in-ubuntu/

nvidia-settings -q all | grep -C 10 -i powermizer

  Attribute 'GPUCurrentPerfLevel' (masterbook:1[gpu:0]): 3.
    'GPUCurrentPerfLevel' is an integer attribute.
    'GPUCurrentPerfLevel' is a read-only attribute.
    'GPUCurrentPerfLevel' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.

  Attribute 'GPUAdaptiveClockState' (masterbook:1[gpu:0]): 1.
    'GPUAdaptiveClockState' is a boolean attribute; valid values are: 1 (on/true) and 0 (off/false).
    'GPUAdaptiveClockState' is a read-only attribute.
    'GPUAdaptiveClockState' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.

  Attribute 'GPUPowerMizerMode' (masterbook:1[gpu:0]): 2.
    Valid values for 'GPUPowerMizerMode' are: 0, 1 and 2.
    'GPUPowerMizerMode' can use the following target types: GPU.

  Attribute 'GPUPowerMizerDefaultMode' (masterbook:1[gpu:0]): 0.
    'GPUPowerMizerDefaultMode' is an integer attribute.
    'GPUPowerMizerDefaultMode' is a read-only attribute.
    'GPUPowerMizerDefaultMode' can use the following target types: GPU.

  Attribute 'ECCSupported' (masterbook:1[gpu:0]): 0.
    'ECCSupported' is a boolean attribute; valid values are: 1 (on/true) and 0 (off/false).
    'ECCSupported' is a read-only attribute.
    'ECCSupported' can use the following target types: GPU.

  Attribute 'ECCConfigurationSupported' (masterbook:1[gpu:0]): 0.
    'ECCConfigurationSupported' is a boolean attribute; valid values are: 1 (on/true) and 0 (off/false).
    'ECCConfigurationSupported' is a read-only attribute.
    'ECCConfigurationSupported' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.

So the main one is: nvidia-settings -q GpuPowerMizerMode:

  Attribute 'GPUPowerMizerMode' (masterbook:1[gpu:0]): 2.
    Valid values for 'GPUPowerMizerMode' are: 0, 1 and 2.
    'GPUPowerMizerMode' can use the following target types: GPU.

The following describes possible values (no sudo/root req):

• Adaptive: nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=0"
• Prefer max performance: nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=1"
• Auto: nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=2"

Ofc there is more like nvidia-settings -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=<some-negative-clock> (untested) but I do not think it would be used a lot.

The above though would be a very nice feature.. Let me know if you need anything else :)

@steadfasterX thanks for your feedback and suggestion! I really appreciate it!

please feel free to test the latest code in master branch.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E !!!! works perfectly here :) plasma 5.16 btw.

2 little things:

1. when set to Max Performance the dropdown is a bit to tiny.. could you adjust the width a bit?
2. when you are on it anyways: I would name the entry PowerMizer so its like Nvidia spell it :)

Other then that thanks, really thats soo cool.. when the profiles are coming from my FR its 100% perfect :) ( until I get new ideas, ofc xD )
