Apologies for the dummy question but I completely newbie regarding CPU/GPU drivers and Linux based OS. Here is what I want to achieve : I've a new laptop on which Ubuntu 22.04 has just been setup. It has :
- AMD® Ryzen 7 6800h with radeon graphic for CPU (which IIUC is capable of GPU as well)
- A NVIDIA GE Force RTX Graphic card
I want to use this laptop to do fullstack web development so I do not need it for gaming purposes or more generally, something which will require my laptop to do complicated graphical tasks (so I guess I do not need to setup CUDA or Rocm....).
In addition, I want it to consume as less as power as possible (especially when CPU is not used).
To achieve that with my previous laptops on which I used to have Intel CPUs with NVIDIA GPU and I was doing the "dance" :
- Setup nvidia drivers
- Setup prime "profiles"
- Select "Intel" Prime profile
Despite wide searches around web, I was unable to found an "equivalent" procedure for my AMD cpu. I ended up doing the same thing and select "intel" profile (which looks weird since I do not have Intel CPU...) and then my laptop was effectively consuming less power energy but the issue was that I could not saw my two other screens connected through HDMI anymore!
Without doing too complex things, how can I configure my laptop as better as possible to achieve my needs. In particular, which GPUs (with which driver) should I use by default ? How to configure that?
Do I need to setup additional software so that when amdgpu driver is used HDMI screens can be visible?
Thanks in advance for your help.
