+## Power Management
+My testing shows suspend issues (tested in GNOME) when using `hardware.nvidia.powerManagement.enabled = true`, regardless of the value of `hardware.nvidia.powerManagement.finegrained`. 
+This seems related to this [issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/336723), which is offered a solution in [this discouse thread](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/suspend-resume-cycling-on-system-resume/32322/12) with this config:
+
+<details>
+```nix
+systemd = {
+     services."gnome-suspend" = {
+      description = "suspend gnome shell";
+      before = [
+        "systemd-suspend.service" 
+        "systemd-hibernate.service"
+        "nvidia-suspend.service"
+        "nvidia-hibernate.service"
+      ];
+      wantedBy = [
+        "systemd-suspend.service"
+        "systemd-hibernate.service"
+      ];
+      serviceConfig = {
+        Type = "oneshot";
+        ExecStart = ''${pkgs.procps}/bin/pkill -f -STOP ${pkgs.gnome-shell}/bin/gnome-shell'';
+      };
+    };
+    services."gnome-resume" = {
+      description = "resume gnome shell";
+      after = [
+        "systemd-suspend.service" 
+        "systemd-hibernate.service"
+        "nvidia-resume.service"
+      ];
+      wantedBy = [
+        "systemd-suspend.service"
+        "systemd-hibernate.service"
+      ];
+      serviceConfig = {
+        Type = "oneshot";
+        ExecStart = ''${pkgs.procps}/bin/pkill -f -CONT ${pkgs.gnome-shell}/bin/gnome-shell'';
+      };
+    };
+  };
+```
+</details>
+
+At the same time, the Nvidia driver reports power management to still be working even with `nvidia.powerManagement.enable = false`:
+```bash
+>cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0/power
+Runtime D3 status:          Enabled (fine-grained)
+Video Memory:               Off

+GPU Hardware Support:
+ Video Memory Self Refresh: Supported
+ Video Memory Off:          Supported
+
+S0ix Power Management:
+ Platform Support:          Supported
+ Status:                    Disabled
+```
