We have a Ubuntu 20.04 server with Nvidia GPUs and want to change the Power Mode / GpuPowerMizerMode to Prefer Maximum Performance.

One way to do this is

nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=1"

However, that would require an X session with access to the respective GPU; editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf would not work for the same reason.

Is there another way to read and set the GpuPowerMizerMode of a Nvidia GPU in Ubuntu?

ubuntu configuration nvidia power-mgmt
