Dunno, I have an Nvidia card in my laptop, while it "works" on Linux (even Wayland), it also heats the laptop up so incredibly hot that the laptop's thermal settings just turn it off. No way to throttle it, increase fan speed, etc..., at least not without a bunch of hackery I don't want to deal with. All for performance that's in many cases worse than the integrated Intel card (since the integrated card has access to 16gb ram versus the GPU's 4gb).


You might want to look into Nvidia coolbits. Those give fan control and frequency control. Alternatively, you could set a power target using nvidia-smi.
