Options for overclocking Nvidia GPUs?
With some research on the Nvidia forums and found this: https://github.com/Dreaming-Codes/nvidia_oc
Looks like command line utility that works with Wayland which from what I gather is what Bazzite and Fedora 41 default to now?
Based on the bazzite documentation, command line utilities should be installed using homebrew but I’m not sure how to do that for this.
If this isn’t an option in bazzite are there any other ways of going about overclocking Nvidia gpus?
Thanks!

So I managed to get the executable to run via terminal and managed to set the parameters correctly. Verified in game with MangoHud so I can confirm that this works at least when using the KDE desktop.
I followed the instructions that are provided on the github to start it as a service but when I take a look at systemctl after it seems like the service fails to start. What would be the next steps in troubleshooting this?
So I’ve figured out the problem!
I had the binary stored somewhere in my home directory which systemd will not execute from unless you set SELinux to permissive with sudo setenforce 0. I moved the binary using the terminal to /usr/local/sbin (had to use terminal with sudo since it couldn’t be done on the GUI)
Now the service runs correctly without issue.
