[Question] AMD + NVidia #53

Closed VortexAcherontic closed 3 years ago

VortexAcherontic commented 4 years ago

Hey there I have a question regarding Notebooks which do ship with an integrated AMD GPU and a dedicated NVidia GPU. Do they work with suse-prime as well? Since I only ready Intel/NVidia everywhere and also only prime-select nvidia or prime-select intel or intel2 but not AMD. Can some just use prime-select intel to use an integrated AMD GPU?

Currently it's not supported. You would need to change "lspci_intel_line" in prime-select.sh accordingly (just replace" Intel" with "AMD"?). And still specify "intel" option for prime-select command for AMD-only mode ("modesetting" driver). "intel2" mode won't work. For this you would need more changes in order to use "amdgpu" or "radeon" driver instead of "modesetting" driver.

Hello Vortex! Any results? Are you still interested?

VortexAcherontic commented 4 years ago

@sndirsch I somehow missed someone already answered, my bad.

Yes I am still interested, I'll root this advice to the person I was asking this for.

The story was someone I know bought an AMD+NVidia notebook and had struggle with using the nvidia GPU so I suggested suse-prime. Than later on looked the package up and was questioning if this will work at all in that configuration.

I'll reply if I get any new form the one with that Notebook :)

Hi, not the same person but I also have an AMD/Nvidia optimus laptop. I tried replacing the intel with AMD in prime-select.sh as you suggested but powertop in that mode still shows nvidia gpu at 100%.

Check this

https://github.com/openSUSE/SUSEPrime#nvidia-power-off-support-since-390xxx-driver-g04g05-driver-packages

Then run "prime-select intel". Reboot.

If this doesn't work, I can't help that much as I don't have such a combo.

I opened a pull request to add AMD support, you can temporarily use my fork.

sndirsch commented 3 years ago

Thanks a lot! Just accepted. :-) Also made a new release out of it. 0.8.1.

Closing as fixed.
