Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 24.04.2

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
