These drivers provide the best energy efficiency by supporting Run Time D3 (RTD3) which is basically a deep sleep when the GPU is not in-use.

• NVIDIA Turing (RTX 4000 series) or newer = NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers
• NVIDIA Ampere (RTX 3000 series) or newer = NVIDIA open kernel module

For older NVIDIA graphics cards, udev rules can be used to manage RTD3.
