This is guide, how to install NVIDIA proprietary drivers on Fedora 33 with Hybrid Switchable Graphics [Intel + Nvidia GeForce]

Backup important files before you start installation. And this is of course at your own risk, because graphic cards, components and monitors are different and some combinations might cause totally unexpected results.

identify your Nvidia graphic

lspci -vnn | grep VGA

the output of the above command will be like:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics [8086:9bc4] (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation TU116M [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile] [10de:2191] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Enable RPM fusion

sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

update your system

sudo dnf update

It is recommended to reboot your system after update

install Nvidia driver

install akmod-nvidia

sudo dnf install gcc kernel-headers kernel-devel akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

install cuda

sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

Drivers are installed, run the below command

run sudo akmods --force and sudo dracut --force and then reboot.

and that’s it, the switch happens automatically when needed.

note this guide will disable wayland, X.org only supported.

to check NVIDIA Processes run the command nvidia-smi

nvidia-smi
