hello and Ofcourse i’m sorry because my english is not good (for now^^).
I’ve got problem with my GPU(1060 StriX 6gb) on Fedora 25.
GPU is still on Performance level 0-1 in PowerMizer. Even if i turned on “persistence mode” (sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1) and i changed “power limit” (sudo nvidia-smi -pl 156) (Power limit for GPU 0000:01:00.0 was set to 156.00 W from 78.00 W.All done.).
But GPU still using 6-11W.
Also nvidia-settings does not save any changes so after restart i’ve got settings without any changes.
If i changed anything in xorg.conf (in Nvidia section) Power Limit will stuck on lvl 0.
