Hallo Freunde, ich hoffe, es ist okay, wenn ich einfach mal auf Deutsch schreibe. Ich habe einen HP Victus 16 und mir ist aufgefallen, dass ich normalerweise eine Leistungsaufnahme von 120 Watt hätte; allerdings erreiche ich maximal 80 W. Warum ist mein Powerlimit bei 80 W und nicht bei 120 W? Ich kann es leider auch nicht umstellen, ich habe schon alles Mögliche probiert, es geht einfach nicht. Die Performance reicht aus, aber ich finde es blöd, wenn ich dennoch limitiert bin.
Are you putting your 4060 under load? When my 5090 is idle, it uses 25W, but if I start a 4K game, it uses 250W. Generally, unless performance is too slow, lower power usage is better, and the card will only use what it needs. (Sie können dies übersetzen, indem Sie auf das Globus-Symbol unter meinem Beitrag klicken.)
Auch ich habe sie mal unter Last gesetzt; allerdings ist sie nicht höher als 80 W gegangen. Recht haben Sie, die Leistung reicht im Allgemeinen aus, aber sobald ich ein Spiel starte, hätte ich schon gerne etwas bessere Performance. Im BIOS kann ich leider nichts ändern, weil es sehr beschränkt ist im HP BIOS. Wissen Sie vielleicht, wie ich das BIOS über Linux aktualisieren kann?
Is the System running in Wayland or X11/Xorg? You can check that in Settings>About. And what Driver do You use?
For setting up the Power Limit, I would have 2 Ideas for Tools. the first one is called LACT:
The other one is called GreenWithEnvy and is available as Flatpak in Gnome Software:
Ja, ich habe beides probiert, funktioniert leider nicht. Die beiden Tools zeigen mir leider keine Möglichkeit an, wie ich das Power Limit ändere.
In LACT it should be this:
In GWE here:
And I ask again about the Driver Version and if Your System runs in Wayland or X11/Xorg (You can check that in Settings>About).
Genau, und das gibt es bei mir nicht. Per Terminal wird gesagt, die GPU werde nicht unterstützt. Ich bin momentan auf X11.
It might be a general issue with the fact Zorin is based on Ubuntu with regards your device?:
Okay, good. And what Driver Version do You use? 535, 550, 570?
Can you run the terminal command nvidia-smi and show us what it says?

570, ich könnte nochmal 550 probieren.
Einen Moment mache ich sofort.
Ich habe den aktuellsten Treiber installiert der vorinstallierte von Zorin os hat keinen Unterschied gemacht
Die Person hat anscheinend das selbe Problem wie ich.
Und das steht bei mir auch.
This is followed by an output:
Changing power management limit is not supported in current scope for GPU: 00000000:01:00.0.
All done.

This seems like it should be obvious, but I'll ask just in case, based on the Nvidia forum link you posted. Does your computer have a "performance mode" option in BIOS or as a hardware switch? Possibly as a key combination? I've seen all three of these.
If not, are you set to performance mode in Zorin's power settings?
It looks to me like either the manufacturer or Zorin are trying to keep your power usage down to save battery. That isn't what you want, but if HP locked you into that, it may be difficult to change.

Like @Locklear93 already wrote, would it be good to check the Power Settings if You have the Performance Mode enabled if available.
Beneath the 550 Driver, it could be worth to try the 535 Driver, too.

Ich habe jetzt noch einmal alles versucht, es ändert sich gar nichts. Ich würde denken, dass HP da etwas gemacht hat. Ich kann auch im BIOS nichts einstellen. Trotzdem danke für eure Hilfe. Ich sehe da leider keinen anderen Weg.
Have you ever updated the BIOS?:

Das habe ich leider noch nicht geschafft mit Linux. Ich weiß nicht wie ich das BIOS updaten soll.
Update HP Victus 16 BIOS
Updating the BIOS of an HP Victus 16 laptop in Linux involves several steps. First, you need to download the BIOS update package from the HP website. Since the package is typically a Windows executable, you can use Wine to extract the BIOS update file. Alternatively, you can use a Windows machine to extract the BIOS update file and then transfer it to your Linux system.
Once you have the BIOS update file, you need to prepare a USB drive to carry out the update. Here are the general steps:
- Download the BIOS update package from the HP website and extract the BIOS update file using Wine or a Windows machine.
- Create a bootable USB drive with the extracted BIOS update file. The file should be placed in the root directory of the USB drive.
- Insert the USB drive into your HP Victus 16 laptop and restart it.
- During the startup process, press the appropriate key (often Esc, F2, or F10) to enter the BIOS setup.
- Navigate to the Boot menu and ensure that the USB drive is set as the first boot device.
- Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup. The laptop will attempt to boot from the USB drive and initiate the BIOS update process.
If you encounter issues with insufficient disk space, ensure that there is enough free space on your NVMe drive and delete any unnecessary files. Additionally, verify that the BIOS update file is not corrupted and re-download it if necessary.
Here is a more detailed guide from a user who successfully updated their HP Victus 16 BIOS in Linux:
- Download the BIOS update package from the HP website.
- Extract the BIOS update file using Wine or a Windows machine.
- Copy the extracted BIOS update file to the root directory of a USB drive.
- Insert the USB drive into your HP Victus 16 laptop and restart it.
- Press the appropriate key (Esc, F2, or F10) to enter the BIOS setup during startup.
- Navigate to the Boot menu and set the USB drive as the first boot device.
- Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup. The laptop will boot from the USB drive and initiate the BIOS update process.
It is important to note that the BIOS update process should be completed without interruptions, so ensure your laptop is plugged in during the update to avoid any power-related issues.
Additionally, some users have reported that the BIOS update process can sometimes cause issues with recognizing games stored on external HDDs. If you experience such issues, you may need to troubleshoot or seek further assistance from HP support forums.
Lastly, always ensure you have backups of important data before attempting any BIOS updates, as incorrect procedures can potentially brick your device.

Honestly kind of appalling that the BIOS upgrade is only available via .EXE files and not the way most motherboard manufacturers do it, where you place a properly named file on a USB and choose an option from BIOS to do the update.
