But ... for the new feature you need also a Turing GPU

done.
the documentation still points at a few files that actually don't exist in the system...
Not sure which files you mean here. Can you eloborate?
https://github.com/openSUSE/SUSEPrime#nvidia-power-off-support-with-435xxx-d... is what I'm talking about.
Where are those files? If they're already put in the right place as part of the rpm package it should be mentioned in that readme...
Well, I was assuming people reading this git documentation also are using the checked out git tree. Then later I adjusted the code so people reading it but using the RPMs instead don't run into issues, i.e. it just does nothing if the files already exist.
anyway, so to use prime offloading I need a laptop with an intel, and a bleeding edge nvidia card, or a desktop with the same, but bumblebee is outdated and no longer maintained?
I can't help but consider this crazy.
I haven't said that. Turing is only needed for DynamicPowerManagement, not for NVIDIA's PRIME Render Offload feature.
...so is there a "nondynamic" powermanagement for cards before turing?
There is no DynamicPowerManagement before Turing.
- why would anyone who has something like a GTX2060 in a desktop use the onboard intel card for graphics, so he'd have to do prime offloading for 3d?
Desktop? We're talking about laptops here.
we're talking about nvidia turing cards here - so far I've only seen those in high end gaming rigs, where the mainboards don't even HAVE an onboard intel card, but definitely support crossfire... or maybe the occasional alienware "bricktop" (pseudolaptop - way to heavy and powerhungry to actually use it like a laptop, i.e. without its powerbrick).
Anyway, so **how** do I set up a Leap 15.1 machine so that the desktop is rendered through the intel card and I can offload openGL stuff to the nvidia card by setting those __NV* variables?
I've tried suse-prime that comes with Leap 15.1, I've tried suse-prime from X11:Xorg, all I've managed to get to work is either "pure" intel graphics or "pure" nvidia.
I don't think you can easily use suse-prime on desktops with Intel/NVIDIA GPU combination. I'm not aware of this working.
