I tried __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam and for the first time Steam showed the proper Nvidia card for the driver and also showed the proper 3GB for VRAM. I tried running cities skylines and instead of the 21FPS I was getting before I was getting what is probably normal for the Nvidia 1050 card which was around 42FPS and peaking above 60. So, more than double. This workaround will due for now, but it would be nice to have this as a right click menu like Ubuntu.

Yes, the output from glxinfo is what you want to see. If you want to run programs on the Nvidia GPU, you have to start them with the variables as in the glxinfo example.

I tried the recommendations and it does not seem to change anything. I do not know if I am doing something wrong. When I do the glxinfo -B I do get the AMD like you mentioned and when I do the __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 I do get the proper nvidia information. I placed the outputs of both below. I tried the alias prime_run=__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia from the CLI and also added it to the bashrc file like you said, but I have not noticed any changes.

[Bug 1894852] Re: Graphics slow on hybrid AMD/Nvidia laptop
Before I did your recommendations I tried running games again to see if there was any improvement. I know it is still not using the dedicated Nvidia 1050, but I think the system may now be using the on board AMD Ryzen graphics. I tried both American truck simulator and Cities Skylines and they received around 30-40FPS where before it was 1FPS. This is much slower still than I would expect from the dedicated card, but still better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1894852 Title: Graphics slow on hybrid AMD/Nvidia laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-450/+bug/1894852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1894852] Re: Graphics slow on hybrid AMD/Nvidia laptop
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected has-workaround reproducible single- occurrence ubuntu ** Description changed: I selected the nvidia driver as I did not know which package to select. I am pretty sure that is not the problem as that driver is supposed to support the hybrid graphics in this laptop. What I was expecting on the clean install of Kubuntu was to use the dedicated Nvidia video card for graphics and I do believe with these hybrid graphics is it supposed to use the on CPU graphics for less intensive graphics. Personally, I would be happy if the dedicated Nvidia card was only used at this point. What has happened is the system is showing AMD RENOIR (DRM 3.38.0, 5.8.0-18-generic, LLVM 10.0.1) in the info centre and the VMWare driver is also showing in Steam. The games I have tried to launch in steam are running at about 1FPS and I have tried games like Farming Similator 2013 which are very old and this computer should be able to run at well above 60FPPS. I get the same problem on Kubuntu 20.04.01 as well as 20.10. Running the Nvidia X Server Settings shows the proper video driver and video card, but it does say None beside display devices. I tried hours to try and fix this problem. I first thought it was a driver issue, but tried deveral different version of the proprietary Nvidia driver with no change. I made sure I am using the latest driver only released a couple months ago still with no change. The open source driver only shows a blank screen. I then thought maybe the computer is only using the on CPU Ryzen graphics; even though that should still get better than 1 FPS. So, I tried solutions to force the dedicated video card. sudo prime-select nvidia says the nvidia profile is already set. The nvidia settings does not have any setting to force the video card as well. prime-select query shows nvidia as well. Most solutions seem to be for intel chipsets with the Nvidia 1050 and I have an AMD with Nvidia 1050.

Another thing to try: Change to "on-demand" mode.
