This is an update from an older post, as that particular method no longer seems to work in the latest version of Ubuntu. This one, however, does.
Open xorg.conf with your favourite editor:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.confAdd the following line under the section "Device"
Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"So that your device section looks something like this:
Section "Device"Save and reboot, hopefully your performance level is now always at maximum.
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
EndSection

ReplyDeleteDoesn't work on 12.04 with 304.
ReplyDeleteSame deal on Fedora 18 with 304.64 driver on an Nvidia K1000M card -- switches between adaptive and performance mode, or stays in performance mode.
ReplyDeletenvidia-settings shows power source as battery even though plugged into AC, fun.
