Hi there!
I tried looking at other posts on this topic and following the steps, but I haven’t been able to solve the problem.
I have a hybrid laptop, I’m trying to use it for gaming purposes now that I’m not at home with my usual pc and I can’t seem to be able to use the dedicated gpu.
I’m running the games using steam, I have installed the nvidia drivers correctly (I think, that might be something to check) and I installed envycontrol and switched it to nvidia mode. However, when running the games gpustat and nvidia-settings detect usage at 0% of the nvidia gpu.
Here is the paste of the steam system information:
