NVIDIA_OC

NVIDIA_OC is a simple Rust CLI tool designed to overclock NVIDIA GPUs on Linux. This tool was developed to support both X11 and Wayland environments, addressing a gap in existing overclocking tools that only support X11.

Example Usage

To set the overclock parameters for your NVIDIA GPU, use the following command:

./nvidia_oc set --index 0 --power-limit 200000 --freq-offset 160 --mem-offset 850

Run on Startup

To ensure NVIDIA_OC runs on startup, follow these steps:

  1. Download the binary file from the latest release.
  2. Store the binary file in a secure location.
  3. Create a systemd service file at /etc/systemd/system/nvidia_oc.service with the following content:
[Unit]
Description=NVIDIA Overclocking Service
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=[path_to_binary]/nvidia_oc set --index 0 --power-limit 200000 --freq-offset 160 --mem-offset 850
User=root
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace [path_to_binary] with the actual path where the binary is stored.

To create this file, you can run:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/nvidia_oc.service

Paste the content above, then press Ctrl + X, Y to confirm saving, and Enter to confirm the file path.

  1. Reload the systemd manager configuration:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  1. Enable and start the service immediately:
sudo systemctl enable --now nvidia_oc
