# NVIDIA Setup Notes
## Laptop Bus ID Configuration Required
**File to edit:** `/home/zeph/nix-flake/system/nvidia-laptop.nix`
### Steps:
1. Run this command on your **laptop**:
```bash
sudo lshw -c display
```
2. Look for the `bus info` lines in the output:
- **Intel GPU**: `bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0`
- **NVIDIA GPU**: `bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0`
3. Convert the PCI addresses to NixOS format:
- `pci@0000:00:02.0` → `PCI:0:2:0` (Intel)
- `pci@0000:01:00.0` → `PCI:1:0:0` (NVIDIA)
4. Update the values in `nvidia-laptop.nix`:
```nix
intelBusId = "PCI:0:2:0"; # Replace with your Intel bus ID
nvidiaBusId = "PCI:1:0:0"; # Replace with your NVIDIA bus ID
```
5. Rebuild after updating:
```bash
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /home/zeph/nix-flake#laptop
```
### Format Conversion Example:
```
pci@0000:XX:YY.Z → PCI:XX:YY:Z
```
Remove the `0000:` prefix and convert the `.` to `:`

## Testing NVIDIA Setup
### Desktop (RTX 3080):
- `nvidia-smi` - Check if driver is loaded
- `nvtop` - Monitor GPU usage
- `glxinfo | grep NVIDIA` - Verify OpenGL
### Laptop (GTX 1050):
- `nvidia-smi` - Check if driver is loaded
- `nvidia-offload glxgears` - Test offload mode
- `nvtop` - Monitor both Intel and NVIDIA GPUs
### Using NVIDIA on Laptop:
- Normal apps use Intel iGPU (better battery)
- Prefix GPU-intensive apps with `nvidia-offload`:
```bash
nvidia-offload <program>
```
