luka1002, in fact, nvidia-smi runs on the 16.04 server distro that has no graphics shell at all.

Yes, it does. So,you can not set nvidia-xconfig because you do not have xorg? Well i did not try to use distro without xorg because i need overclocking, and nvidia-smi can overclock only Tesla & Quadro. Other need to use coolbits in xorg.conf and for that you need xorg. Really stupid but …it is only way.
In other topic i already wrote about weird dependencies on nvidia drvier in linux.

Only you could try to connect monitor in GPU0 and reboot. Then try power limit.

If you start xorg (and power limit works) and stop it (and then it does not), nvidia could not use xorg.conf and with that can not dectect monitor anymore. If that is what happening than it confirm crazy behaviour.

IF works with monitor attached you could use dvi-vga cable and no monitor. (CRT)

Can you please check when on full run, does your nvidia stays in P2 mode or goes in P3? (nvidia-smi)

Hi,
Any luck to change to P3 mode? is it a bug?
