I have a laptop which has 2 graphics card. One of them is Nvidia GTX 1650Ti and other is Intel integrated gpu. I set all values to make nvida primary gpu. I did but when i run glxgears it is using Nvidia card properly and i can see with nvidia-smi command but when i started Firefox its using Intel gpu not Nvidia. After i started a video in Firefox its using Intel and video is glitching. How can i solve that. Thank you all from now. (Sorry for my English :frowning: )

Your English is good. :slightly_smiling_face: I donā€™t have a laptop with 2 graphics cards, but I would try ā€œblacklistingā€ the Intel graphics card so that everything must use the Nvidia graphics card. Does adding rd.driver.blacklist=i915 and modprobe.blacklist=i915 on the kernel command line make it work?

Thanks for that but i forgot something sorry. Im using one more external monitor(its directly connected to Nvidia) when i blacklisted Nvidia i can use only external monitor and despite this its not using Nvidia for videos i didnt understand anything.

Iā€™m not very familiar with it either. It looks like the browser itself might have some settings that are determining which GPU it is using: Firefox's performance settings | Firefox Help

Thanks for your help. I tried this,too. I tried chromium but they arent working with nvidia

Iā€™m using a different computer now (and Sway), so I no longer use this setting, but a few years ago, I had the following in my i3 configuration so that Chrome would do hardware acceleration. Do these parameters still work on Chromium?

$ grep google-chrome-stable ~/.config/i3/config
bindsym $mod+g workspace 2, exec /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --disable-features=UseSkiaRenderer --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder

By the way, you can enter chrome://gpu/ in Chromeā€™s address bar to see what GPU settings it is using.

None of the other answer to this question suggested black listing.

I do not recall the solution but I hope someone that has a laptop with this configuration will answer.

I donā€™t know. Since it says ā€œunavailableā€, I guess there is something wrong with the driver installation. Maybe @computersavvy could help you verify that the Nvidia drivers are installed correctly?

I removed all Nvidia drivers things and i will install again which document i can use for that installation?

11

Iā€™d ask @computersavvy or search this forum for a recent example where he has answered that question.

The recommended instruction is here:
Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion

I installed drivers again but system is using intel for egl instrad of Nvidia i installed vaapi drivers but i didnt understand

Now check the adapterā€™s ID and use it to start the app:

switcherooctl list
killall firefox-bin
switcherooctl launch -g 1 firefox
