Hi, I have a hardware issue with a nvidia dedicated GPU in my laptop, here is my config :

Lenovo put in a GPU and then gave it both inadequate power and cooling (how common).
The result is 3 years down the line, without overcloking, I start to get graphic artifacts in 3d games.
This computer is a bit of an edgecase itself since I have both an AMD integrated GPU and a NVIDIA dedicated GPU, I’m using the video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime driver.
I’m looking for a way to control clock-speeds and if possible fans so that the GPU does not overheat when in heavy use.
My uefi config does not give me anything more than selecting a ‘power profile’, it seems to impact fan speed but I do think it might also impact clock-speeds and power being delivered so it is not very useful for my use-case here.
If I put it on the highest setting the fans ramp up but the GPU is know thermal throttling at a higher clock speed. This gives better performance but does not make it run any cooler.
I tried TLPUI but it only gives me options for my integrated AMD GPU.
Do you know of any good way (if possible graphical), of doing this.
Thanks.
