I’m on a fresh install of openSUSE and the NVIDIA card of my device is not detected by system (GeForce RTX 2050M), neither on the system info nor the command
lspci | grep VGA
which is used in the openSUSE guide to install the drivers to determinate the GPU model. On both only the UHD Graphics appear.
I did the drivers install anyways by manually looking the compatible driver for my GPU on the page. Installation was successfully but the NVIDIA isn’t recognized yet. Also installed prime and when I run
prime-select nvidia
It says that the card was found and I need to logout/in again to use it but when I do it GUI fails and I only get CLI to login and interact with the system. I had to run from there
prime-select intel
and then reboot to make the GUI work again.
Do I did something wrong in the install? Or how can I get the system to recognize the GPU anyway?
NOTE: I have dual boot with Win11 and the card is detected and used there without issues

Idk why isn’t detected then by the settings nor as VGA. Also the GUI keeps failing after the prime-select nvidia and I have to use the CLI to return to intel and then reboot before having any sort of GUI
@xandor19 Hi, can you clarify ‘used’ in Windows 11, as you can see it present, let windows use it for certain applications etc (as in Prime Render offload)?
Past experience (forums and IRC) indicates some laptops work fine with suse-prime, some don’t (esp RTX versions) and are better suited running PRIME Render Offload.
