<p><b>New page</b></p><div>When you want to run a program on the dGPU, you only need to set a few environment variables for the driver to recognize that offload mode should be used. If <code>hardware.nvidia.prime.offload.enableOffloadCmd</code> is set to true, NixOS will generate a wrapper script named <code>nvidia-offload</code> that sets the right variables for you:{{file|nvidia-offload|bash|<nowiki><br />
export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1<br />
export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER=NVIDIA-G0<br />
export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia<br />
export __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only<br />
exec "$@"<br />
</nowiki>}}If everything is configured correctly, then running a program like <code>glxgears</code> should use the iGPU, while running <code>nvidia-offload glxgears</code> should only use the dGPU.</div>FuzzyBot
