[2.0.43] with wayland doesn't use dedicated GPU
Posted: Mon May 05, 2025 10:27 am
I'm trying to run factorio with wayland and it seems to be only using the integrated gpu.
I'm starting factorio like this:
This results in no GPU utilisation in nvidia-smi as expected. vlc seems to be able to utilise the GPU just fine.
With x11 the startup looked like this:
Am I configuring something wrong so that factorio isn't picking up the dedicated gpu?
I was getting full display freezing with x11 and with wayland I only get ~25FPS when I move factorio to the external display.
I'm starting factorio like this:
