Further down and to the right of the Driver Version box is a button that opens the game profiles plugin for Inspector. The second button below that will open the hardware monitors. The first button uploads a screenshot of the app to. There are two buttons on the upper left side. This window contains all the hardware information about the graphics card. When Inspector first launched, this is the first window that appears. However, some recommended settings for Skyrim users are mentioned since this Guide was created with Skyrim in mind. This Guide simply provides a breakdown of each of the Inspector dialog menus so users may be better informed about the capabilities of these settings and the applicability to a particular game environment. That would be impossible to do with the endless combinations of video cards and system hardware available. This gives the ability for better control and finer tweaking on a per-game basis.įinally, this Guide does not provide the "gold-standard" of Inspector settings which users simply copy and use. The settings available here are more extensive than those offered in the Nvidia Control Panel. Profiles allow user-defined, game-specific settings that will be loaded and used when the game is launched.
Inspector includes over two hundred individual game profiles. Nvidia Inspector's real gem lies within its driver profile settings (game profiles). The availability of these tools is dependent upon the video card. Inspector also provides simple overclocking tools to control the GPU clock, memory clock, shader clock, voltage, and fan speed of the video card however, not all of these options will be available to all users. This sensor information can also be monitored via the included "monitors", which in turn can be logged to a CSV file for later viewing. It provides detailed hardware information, much like GPU-Z, from the hardware senors on Nvidia video cards. Nvidia Inspector is a tool created by Orbmu2k. I found I can get 95%+ performance for ~75% energy cost by setting the power level to 100 in the above command in my mining rig, but I imagine other power conscious users would appreciate this too.Suggest first reading: System Setup Guide In my limited experience, setting it too high had no effect. If you set this too low, you will get an error. Where the 0 is my GPU number, and the 90 is the maximum power in watts. =END OF ANSWER=Īnd as an extra tidbit not asked for in this question, you can also adjust the power output of your Nvidia GPU with: sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 90 nvidia-settings -a "/GPUFanControlState=1" -a "/GPUTargetFanSpeed=55"įor a much more detailed overview of this feature including multiple GPU fans, check out this thorough documentation Nvidia Overclocking and Coolingįor a somewhat rambling and wayward thread which lead me to the above link, check out Set Fanspeed in Linux from Terminal Importantly I note that my 1070 Ti is GPU 0. Gives information about the GPU(s) and their numbers. To tell nvidia-xconfig to allow the fan to be controlled in the command line. To control Nvidia GPU fan speed via Terminal on Linux Mint 20 with a 1070 Ti: sudo nvidia-xconfig -cool-bits=4
