set amd-pstate to passive, then cpu boost controls work
Aim eyeing that patch series
Abut im too of a noob to download it
AI'm just going to wait for the patch before re-enabling CPU boost controls on amd-pstate-epp
Aaight
Apraying it will compile
Anop
Arip
Aprobably 6.6 is too early rip we'll have to wait for 6.8
Aturns out part of it was preferred core interfering
Aactually all of it is, the patch applies cleanly without preferred core
M@cutiebella_pillow got the ugreen 6 in 1 dongle, i'll review it in a week
TI tried the pstate with cpu boost on my Go earlier today and it did not seem to play nice for whatever reason, maybe because it was set to power save by default or whatever but I reverted
BAre we talking about the power governor controls in simpledeckytdp or something else?
AFrom what I know, CPU boost control currently is only important on the ROG Ally, the Ally has a known issue with the CPU eating up excessive resources
TThat’s what your readme seems to suggest, I just couldn’t help myself
AI found amd-pstate=passive to be pretty sluggish on the LGO
Aso I think it's really only required for the Ally
Aoh oops, wrong reply
Akind of. So at the bottom of SimpleDeckyTDP, you'll see a
scaling driveramd-pstate-eppthe scaling driver determines the available governors and EPP options, as well as whether CPU boost controls are available on the device
BYeah I was able to use it on the Loki Max with no issues.
BWhen I slide it to performance mode the fan spools up to max rpm and I get extra performance.
Aas far as I know, CPU boost controls currently don't really make a big difference for anything except the Ally right now.
BOh it seems to have an impact on the Loki Max, unless something else I'm doing is also improving performance. I had it on balanced performance before and when I moved it to performance mode it was the difference between an unstable 60fps and a rock solid 60fps on more than one game.
AGitHub
Arch based kernel for Legion Go, ROG Ally, + other handhelds. Includes all gyro patches. - hhd-dev/linux-handheld
Astarted a driver build
Awith the freq patch
BThere's a group of us at work that all have different handhelds. We can test it out if you want. I have a Loki Max, someone else has a GPD Win4, someone else has a Legion Go, and someone else has a steam deck.
TYou’re probably still using amd-pstate-epp unless you explicitly enabled the passive pstate or your not on Bazzite
BI'm definitely on Bazzite. I got my other handheld buddies to install it too.
Aso, whats the tldr on controlling the boost on pstate?
Awhats the business with governors
TI’m going to defer to Aru at this point
Amy 6.6 kernels holding up quite well i think, this patch looks cool
Aim building
Aunless you explicitly changed your AMD scaling driver, you're most likely on amd-pstate-epp. You don't see an
Enable CPU Boostscaling driveramd-pstate-eppi'm assuming you set power governor to
performanceELI5 cpu boost
Ado i need that patch?
Ado I need the gpu clock?
Aim very confused
Ak guys kernel built installing, hopefully it boots
TIf you’re on an Ally yes, if you’re not just stick with the Bazzite default
ATLDR, yes to GPU clock controls for feature parity with Steam.
No to CPU boost controls unless you're using a ROG Ally
No to CPU boost controls unless you're using a ROG Ally
Aat the bottom of system info

BSo TLDR there is a boost toggle that we can't see unless we have an Ally?
A
BOhhhhhh
