ACould you consider adding ability to tweak the Frequency Limits in your plugin as just changing the governors isn't that flexible for me as the powersave governor is conservative for most modern games whereas the performance/schedutil governor is aggressive.
I would just like to set a 2.5 GHz Max Frequency Limit for modern games like I can in Powertools.

[sad thing is that im using a third party controller, and i can tell that it doesnt really play nice with it.
[i can always try to use it wired though
ANot my plugin. @Aru as for that I think it might not be possible
Can you link that tool?
Can you link that tool?
ANot sure what you mean by link it but I think you are referring to the git page if so here it is:https://git.ngni.us/NG-SD-Plugins/PowerTools
Ais this a ROG Ally? if you need cpu boost control, SimpleDeckyTDP does actually support it. You need to change your scaling driver to amd-pstate, not amd-pstate-epp
ANope I am using LCD Deck.
Aoh, no idea then. you'll need to use a Deck-specific plugin
AUse powertools
AIt's steam deck only
AAlso yes
ABazzite uses epp so it might not be possible
AUnless you do that change
ABut the equivalent of boost is setting epp to powersave
ABut on the SD nobody knows sooo
AYeah I am currently using Powertools but I don't like how buggy it is. One annoying issue I found is that the Frequency Limits for CPU and GPU don't persist if game is having Launcher required to start it up. I need to use "Reapply Settings" to get it to work.
Another issue is when using a per game profile the Powertools GPU Frequency Limit doesn't work automatically and I need to manually re-enable it.

[i have used bazzite for around a day noww
[its better than windows imo
Awhats wrong with using the built in steam sliders?
AThere is no way to directly limit CPU clocks using the steam sliders and Manual GPU Clock stops working if I put the device to sleep(This might be due to Powertools as another person reported that this setting worked even after sleep for them and they didn't have Powertools installed).
Ayou can immitate that by boosting the gpu
Athats why this setting is there
Atheres no reason to touch cpu clocks on the sd
Atheoretically, i guess
A
Yeah I tried to indirectly limit CPU clocks by using Manual GPU Clock and TDP Limiter together but I find I needed to set the TDP Limiter to 4 watts along with Manual GPU Clock set to 800 MHz for the CPU to not draw too much power.Asounds like you need to report this to the plugin dev
AAlready reported the first issue to them but as for the second there is already a tracker for that issue so I didn't report it to him.
AActually there are many games which are having the issue of CPU consuming too much power. From my experience its primarily old CPU intensive games where the issue pops up but others have reported the same even in modern games like Death Stranding and Hades:https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/virka3/games_where_the_cpu_uses_too_much_power/
Aboosting the gpu clock does not work?
AIts really not as efficient as directly manipulating the CPU clocks as you need to set the TDP Limiter pretty low at 4 watts in order for the CPU to not consume too much power with a Manual GPU Clock of 800 MHz.
Awelll pull it to 4w then whats the problem
AThat's pretty low power ceiling. Sure you can play ancient games with it but any modern game the TDP Limit is too low.
Aso why cant you push the gpu clock again?
Awhy keep it at 800hz?
AI'm waiting on this for CPU clock management on non-Deck devices

While not quite as exciting as yesterday's AMD XDNA driver publishing for Ryzen AI on Linux, a notable patch series out of AMD today on the Linux front is enabling AMD Core Performance Boost controls within their P-State CPU frequency scaling driver.
AThats the sweet spot for most games. You can set it higher but still it's not as good as directly limiting the CPU clocks. They should just allow people to cap the power limit of the CPU of Deck rather than the CPU+GPU as that would eliminate this problem.
Hyes you need the gpu to have a monitor output, like a ghost hdmi/displayport adapter
SGot it, running with the new HDR fork of IDD displaydriver, works great! Thanks for all your help @HikariKnight !
Hnp!
Hso you managed to get an output then?
SYeah 
SThink something is wrong with how the mouse is bound though, its very hard to use
Hremove the tablet device and add usb mouse and keyboard
SI did, but the ps/2 mouse and keyboard is added back automatically, i have added the virtio keyboard and mouse though
Hi didnt say remove the ps2 mouse and keyboard 
Hthose are required for the vm to work
SAh makes sense then
Hjust remove the tablet device then if it is there
Honce thats removed, shut down the vm and start it again then the mouse and keyboard should work better through looking glass
SI had removed the tablet device already, just saw it was set to 30hz, much better now i set it to 120
