AMD Linux Graphics Driver To Switch To More Aggressive Power Heuristics By Default

[Danielsen]

Impressive grade of self-reflection. Everyone hating Windows 11, but Linux share not going up basically tells everything.

Sorry that i didn't count for 10% when i went Mint a few months ago. :/
On the other hand, iknow a few more that came over when MS began with the Recall thing.

I just looked at the linked issue and your "desperate shill" is the reporter, so your conclusion seems illogical.

So either you're claiming life would be the same - or you're yet another dumb* shill.

*I can't see those who'd lie for corporate masters being anything else but feel free to [attempt to] refute.

Yes. You can do that today if you want to. Set up a script that listens for the plug event and have it switch the power profile on the GPU, change the governor on the CPU, etc.

Which releases this fix will go into?

I would prefer not to wait for 6.13 to get that.

They are going into 6.12 and will flow back to stable.

I agree the default profile can cause stuttering in some games especially with frame limiters, but 3D fullscreen can drain way more power on idle (a bit over 10W), especially on RX 6900 XT, hmm. I think they should do better load detection maybe?

Using gamemode to switch CPU and GPU to performance and never had any problems

Do you have to explicitly enable something in gamemode to switch power profiles? Just tested gamemode and it doesn't seem to switch an AMDGPU dGPU away from the current default BOOTUP_DEFAULT.

I hope the EU will give a huge fine to AMD for this bullshit behavior which help ruin the planet faster!
AMD should've made a good solution, based on GPU processing demand, not enable the more power hungry option from the start and forget about it!

Fuck you AMD for your laziness and destroying the environment faster!

I've been using corectrl to automatically set the gpu at max clocks for games that need it.

If the EU cared, then 90+ fps gaming would be banned in the block. Instead ppl play CS at 1000+fps and burn 300W on their 4090. Compared to that this is nothing. (or straight up ban consumer gpu's above 200W TDP)

Ya, lets sue the underdog with 10% of the market. Also, lets sue them for leaving performance on the table before this change, false advertising right?

But don't sue Nvidia, they're busy being super efficient with their low wattage 4090 and datacenter GPUs. Probably a watt at most per day if you do the math.

That this happened only after four years without a real solution unfortunately is a prime example why regular people should just use Windows and Nvidia.

I have 0 clue what you're on about. I literally played death stranding at 3440x1440 120fps maxed out on a rx6800 with 0 drop nor stutter yesterday, on debian testing with steam flatpak. Everytime I tried playing on windows (tried recently RDR2 because there's a bit of shimmering and textures issues now and then with proton) it was a complete stutter fest and frame pacing was all over the place. Sounds like you just haven't tried playing with proton and are just talking out of your ass.
