nvidia-settings only allows setting GPUMemoryTransferOffset and GPUGraphicsClockOffset for [gpu:0]

[mmdts]

nvidia-settings: version 470.57.01
with Option "Coolbits" "28" and Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "True" on both X screens.

Even the GUI shows the "Editable Performance Levels" section for GPU 0 only as shown in this stackexchange question:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/354958/how-to-overclock-multiple-nvidia-gpus-in-ubuntu?newreg=f0cf58cf990d4c16beed86feaed3340d

From the CLI:

# nvidia-settings -v -q [gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset

ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


  Attribute 'GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset' (mpc:0[gpu:0]): 2000.
    The valid values for 'GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset' are in the range -2000 - 6000
    (inclusive).
    'GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.

Using -a isntead of -q works and does set a value.

However, for GPU 1:

# nvidia-settings -v -q [gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset

ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred

ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


ERROR: An internal driver error occurred


WARNING: Attribute 'GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset' specified in query '[gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset' is not available on mpc:0[gpu:1].

It fails to show the current value when querying, and using -a instead of -q does not work and does not set a value.

Here, assignment yields:

# nvidia-settings -V -a [gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset=2000

...

WARNING: Attribute 'GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset' specified in assignment '[gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset=2000' is not available on mpc:0[gpu:1].

Querying perfmodes works on both GPUs, for GPU 1 it yields:

# nvidia-settings -q [gpu:1]/GPUPerfModes

Are you running xorg rootless? To check:
ps -o user $(pgrep Xorg)
If it returns non root, try to disable rootless xorg by creating or appending to file
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
line:
needs_root_rights = yes
Then reboot, test again that now xorg runs as root and try to query/apply settings that you tried. If it works, check #42
