AMD,
The documentation you've provided is invaluable, however there is one key area which is undocumented: power savings. I've been trolling irc looking for information on how to D3 my 4870x2 monster, and after reviewing the documents mjg59 and agd5f pointed me at, I believe we are in concordance that we need more documentation describing how to power save devices to even begin work.
This is a colossal issue. At idle, my 4870x2 still consumes ~80 watts of power. Multiply this by your impressively growing install base, and the issue becomes not just frustrating, but world threatening(sarcasm meter: high): AMD cards will soon cause ocean levels to rise and the sky to blacken. Save the world AMD, push out the docs needed to let us sleep and clock down our radeons. My system runs 24/7, yet I only ever use the video card 4-5 hours a day: during inactive times, we need a way to D3 our video card. You've a moral obligation to help your users use our hardware in an ethically responsible, non world-ending manner; please, help radeon help save the planet.
