CoreCtrl 1.2 Brings Support For More Sensors, Voltage Offsets

One thing that I don't like in corectrl is that it changes the frequency governor each time you launch it to ondemand.

You do realize that you can change it for Global Profile in CoreCtrl?

It definetly was related to using that program. I regularly bench with a CPU-limited older game to verify the performance as I play around with newer compilers and I did a classic AB test with and without using that program. The reason for using CoreCtrl was not undervolting (I do this already via a config file) but it was to increase the fan speeds, as I only own a blower-style Vega 56, hence the temperatures were even better when using CoreCtrl but the performane was more than 10 % worse. Maybe their diagnostics eat a lot of ressources or there is another performance-costing bug in there.

In GPU-limited games the performance regression wasn't noticeable though.

Got you. Thanks for sharing

I love CoreCtrl - great app for both cpu and AMD gpus.

No video yet for 1.2.

Likely unrelated. And I bet it was just thermal throttling, and downclocked your core as a result. Just my hunch

Finally some thing that gives me some useful info about my GPU. Loaded a 4K AV1 from YT and the fan barely spins. Hopefully this becomes available for Centos where I really need this and the GPU gets run into the ground.

Last time I used it, I also noticed a performance penalty while using the program which vanished after uninstalling it.
