I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with RTX 2060 on my laptop.
Nvidia driver version - 440

My problem is that whenever I select NVIDIA (Performance Mode) in the PRIME PROFILES, my Ubuntu starts lagging. My screen is 144Hz but it feels a lot like 50ish something. I also tried running DOTA2 but poor fps there (30-35),

I started exploring, and I stumbled on nvidia-smi.
After running the command nvidia-smi -q --display=POWER, I am getting the following output:

Timestamp                           : Thu May  7 02:49:21 2020

        Avg                         : Not Found

What is shocking is that my Power draw is 2.79W, which I believe is extremely low for GPUs.

Can please someone help in getting this to work? I've been at this for hours.

  • I see five, count them, (5) different 440-series drivers for Linux at NVIDIA https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx . May I suggest you try their latest driver and retest? https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/159360/en-us – K7AAY May 06 '20 at 21:41

    Doesn't help. Anything else that might help? – Gineet Mehta May 06 '20 at 22:29
  • For troubleshooting purposes, step back and try 418.113 https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/153717/en-us – K7AAY May 06 '20 at 22:32

    Please post the output of nvidia-smi with no options. That at least will include the device name -- it probably is not the 1060. What does lspci list for device 01:00.0 ? – ubfan1 May 06 '20 at 23:33

try 'max preformance'. My desktop performance improve a little. I believe NVIDIA don't support Linux well.
