Nvidia 570 nvidia-powerd is required to turn on dynamic boost on Linux. nvidia-powerd fails to start with /usr/bin/nvidia-powerd[14645]: Error in getting the NvPCF static configuration /usr/bin/nvidia-powerd[14645]: Failed to initialize Dynamic Boost /usr/bin/nvidia-powerd[14645]: Failed to detach GPU id 256 Just to be clear, this is not an issue with Bios or Laptop manufacturer. Same nvidia 570 driver + nvidia-powerd enables boost and the card works at 170W in Fedora 42 while it is stuck at 80W on Ubuntu 24.04 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 570.133.20 Driver Version: 570.133.20 CUDA Version: 12.8 | |-----------------------------------------+------------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M | Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.
