Hey fellow Garuda users,
I recently decided to switch Linux distros in time for my new PC build and fell in love with the Mokka edition when I tried it out.
My new PC which has the following specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
- GPU:
- AMD Radeon Integrated Graphics (Used for monitor output)
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
I have installed the NVIDIA open-source and nvidia-open-dkms drivers but when I try to play a game using mangohud it will state that the game is using my integrated GPU.
I found this article on the Garuda Wiki that stated to use the DRI_PRIME=1 command in the game’s launch options but this was still using my integrated GPU.
I also tried using DRI_PRIME=pci-0000.01_00_0 as shown on the Arch Wiki article for PRIME but no dice - still used the integrated GPU.
To give context the reason why my display is connected to the integrated GPU is because I am going to be setting up a GPU passthrough for both of my RTX cards, to a Windows VM for games that require that OS. Then I am going to set up Looking Glass so that I can stay in my Linux session why using the Windows VM.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
