I’ve installed Fedora 37 WorkStation KDE on my Razer Blade 14 2022 and have followed the documentation to enable RPM fusion and install the nvidia driver, and everything is up to date and appears installed properly. The NVIDIA GPU is able to power off into D3cold status according to cat /sys/class/…

Same issue on Arch Linux with 545.29.06 drivers on an Acer Nitro 5 laptop. Can’t make the GPU go into D3cold mode, neither on X11 nor Wayland. It’s pretty much halving my battery life on the laptop. Not entirely sure on which version it has started, since I haven’t used my laptop that often off bat…

Same issue here, Razer Blade 15 2021 with rtx 3070 Looks like this is still an issue, I’m on Arch running the latest versions of everything as available Dec 2023 nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (490.8 KB)

DId some more digging, it appears that my device will enter D3cold about every 20 seconds but immediately return to D0. I tested this without my display service (sddm) running in a TTY environment only.

Additional troubleshooting steps I’ve taken can be found here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2136464#p2136464

I dont know if it is relevant here but on my razer blade 14, 3070ti i have a similiar problem. I am running windows 11 though. GPU randomly powers on even though no processes use it and shortens battery life. I have used NVCleanstall to upgrade driver

550.54.14 still not fixed, 525.147.05 still working.

edit: so figured out if you have the nvidia-powerd service enabled this won’t work so that also has to be disabled, also need SDDM running in wayland mode. found a fix in opensuse tw if you guys wanna try, it also goes cold almost instantly now. ver 550.54.14 options nvidia-drm modeset=0 fbdev=0 …

Lenovo Legion 5 Slim 16aph8 with 4070. Kubuntu 23.10 kernel 6.5, X11, 550.54.14, The issue with d3cold also present. In my case when I sleep the laptop for a while and wake up, my dGPU goes to d3cold as expected and stays that way till some request from an app… The laptop supports only modern sleep…

Managed to get this working on fedora 39 as well, keep in mind this is wayland only, i haven’t tested xorg but i assume it will not work and it seems like the latest drivers do break suspend too… edit: fixed suspend too by setting NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations to 0. Either way this should be…

Same exact issue as OP to the T. RZ09-0427 razer blade 2022 14 6900hx + 3070 ti. dgpu will only power down with 525xxx.xx versions no matter what desktop environment / distro / X11/wayland combination is used.
