** Description changed: - The NVIDIA graphics drivers include a daemon that upon detecting high - GPU load it dynamically reduces the CPU frequency to redirect more power - budget to the GPU; this feature is marketed as "Dynamic Boost". + The NVIDIA graphics drivers include a feature for laptops that upon + detecting high GPU load it dynamically reduces the CPU frequency to + redirect more power budget to the GPU; this feature is marketed as + "Dynamic Boost". This is implemented in the `/usr/bin/nvidia-powerd` daemon, and managed by the `nvidia-powerd.service` systemd unit. The service can be enabled on all NVIDIA systems and it will only run on supported hardware, that is all laptops with a modern enough Intel/AMD CPU and NVIDIA GPU. It does not have an effect on unsupported hardware. On unsupported hardware the `nvidia-powerd.service` systemd unit will get marked as failed (https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-powerd-exit-code/326726) We are not currently shipping the `nvidia-powerd.service` unit, so the feature is not enabled by default. Requesting a freeze exception to ship and enable the service by default in plucky, with the nvidia-graphics-drivers-570 packaging.
