Before I tell my problem I'll tell you some information about my pc
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.5.5-zen1-1-zen
Shell: bash 5.1.16
DE: GNOME 44.5 on Xorg
WM: Mutter
CPU: Intel i7-9750H (12) @ 4.500GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile
GPU: Intel CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
Memory: 7944MiB / 31846MiB
Firmware: BVCN16WW(V1.12)
I was checking on wine staging 8.15(without Fsync and Esync) and lutris-7.2-2-x86_64
During the game, nvidia-smi gives the following values:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

With a little bit of googling, I did things like:
1. Enabled performance mode via Cpupower-gui
2. Enabled Fsync and Esync in lutris (helped to bring videocard utilization from 35% to 66%, but video memory is also poorly utilized).
3. Downloaded linux zen
4. Reinstalled lutris and all versions of lutris ge proton and others
5. Downloaded wine staging instead of the usual one
6. Reinstalled nvidia drivers.
And none of this helped.
Can you please help? I really don't know what to do, and it's not very convenient to start every time from Windows just to play a game. I will be very grateful if someone will write what the problem is!

For me, it's
# to give a ballpark number; you probably don't want to go beyond this if it's even possible
$ grep . /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_cap_max
145000000
$ grep . /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_cap
5000000
because I'm currently in low-power GPU mode
To ramp it up,
# set the power cap to "performance"
$ sudo echo "high" >/sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
$ sudo echo "145000000" >/sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_cap
# and just to be on the safe side; make sure to also >fan2…99_enable if you have them ;)
$ sudo echo "1" >/sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_enable
It will likely be different for you, but maybe it helps.

Maybe this can point you towards how to set the limits on Nvidia GPUs?
