Overclocking not working on the new version

[okasha55]

can't apply powermizer settings in GUI and in CLI
I get this error:

Error assigning value X to attribute 'GPU Memory TransferRate OffsetAllPerformanceLevels'
(host:0[gpu:0]) as specified in assignment 'GPUMemoryTransferRateOffsetAllPerformanceLevels=X' (Unknown Error).

with the newest drivers and nvidia-settings v465.24
had to roll back to 460 to get it working as normal
OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: 5.11.14

Update 1 :
v465.27 update downloaded and the same issue still exists.

[marvic2409]

Yep, I'm getting the same error

[jpestima]

Same error. It also affects fan speed. Had to rollback to v460.56 to get it working again.

[Razer0123]

Same

[Razer0123]

New release, still same issue

Can you tell me how exactly did you revert back? I do not know which kernel should i use with which driver

[okasha55]

I use the dkms drivers with a custom kernel so there is no dependency between kernel version and drivers version
however cuda and cuda dependant pkgs are compiled against the new drivers which what I use.

[Razer0123]

Has this been fixed?

[jpestima]

I don't think so.

[jlarmstrong]

I am seeing similar issues with the latest 460.73 revision of the driver and tools that fan speed control using any methods fail.

[iamshadow2008]

Having same issue, since version 465 I can no longer overclock or apply fan curves. Power limit works, nothing else does. I've tried everything I can think of and have found no solution.

[okasha55]

The problem is related to rootless Xorg.
if you use gdm it defaults to rootless Xorg.
you can start Xorg as root to be able to control everything as normal however this should not be needed so the issue would remain open.

[jpestima]

How can I run xorg as root with GDM? Only finding rootless examples.

I posted how I managed to do it here: #65 (comment)

Nice to know, problem is i don't think anyone noticed / started working on this

It seems to me it's mostly users here, not Nvidia developers

[gilvbp]

Does anyone know if still present on driver 470?

[BlueGoliath]

Does anyone know if still present on driver 470?

It does.

[Razer0123]

Would using Wayland fix this?

[okasha55]

Would using Wayland fix this?

do you know how to control fan speeds and overclock when using wayland?!

[DeathKhan]

Issue still persisting, arch-5.13.8 & nvidia-470.57.02-9

[DeathKhan]

You think they would fix this given arch is going to be the backbone of the new steam handheld, but I guess there's a reason valve went with AMD. As someone who does CUDA work overclocking the memory is practically necessary. Gamers and devs are increasingly using linux, time to start caring NVidia.

Works again with 470.63.01 (arch-5.13.10).

[Razer0123]

Confirmed :)

[nicjohnston]

Works again with 470.63.01 (arch-5.13.10).

Could you share your working config? I'm on 470.63.01 with arch-5.13.11 and still can't change the memory frequency.

[BlueGoliath]

There is something broken with X. Org. Even if you enable root via the configs, it will sometimes be ignored. Try updating if you aren't already up-to-date.

Remove /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

Then reinstall via sudo pacman -Syy xorg-server

[blindbeat]

So problem still exist with rootless xorg? I couldn't change any settings neither in GUI nor via cli.
And starting Xorg with root cured everything.
