You’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 Boost toggle, right? and scaling driver at the bottom of the plugin should show amd-pstate-eppAi'm assuming you set power governor to
performance, which makes the EPP options disappearAELI5 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
Bamd-pstate-epp
BSo TLDR there is a boost toggle that we can't see unless we have an Ally?
A
BOhhhhhh
Athe CPU boost toggle is only enabled if your
Scaling Driver is not amd-pstate-eppAPower Governor performance is different from CPU boost
Ait's all rather confusing lol
BYeah no just sliding the performance slider all the way to the right already massively boosts performance from whatever the default profile was on this device.
Ayeah, for certain games, the performance power governor makes a big difference
TThere are ways to set it via the terminal. It’s in the SimpleDeckyTDP readme. But unless you’re on the Ally it doesn’t seem to help and may hurt. Luckily it’s easy enough to switch back.
Along story short, don't do it unless you have an Ally lol
BGot it lol
Aso i have to do both governor epp and gfx clock to get my preferred boost amount?
SI noticed maxing out the gpu clock did bad things
Awhat do we think about hte patch series you sent? smash or pass?
Ahave to recompile the kernel, it gave me some module warnings bc i tried to optimize the config
Ai basically only change the GPU clocks if I notice the game I'm playing is GPU bound
ACPU sitting at 20% but GPU at 99% the entire time
Ain that situation, I just increase the min GPU clock
SYeah tried it on FF7R It halved the frame rate when set to 2700 I guess it didn’t leave enough juice for the cpu, even tho it would hit 2700mhz at times
TWould maxing out the GPU clock prevent it from activating any sort of boosting? Not sure.
Anot sure tbh, never tested running a game at max GPU clock
Ausually I just set the GPU bounds to something like 1800 to 2700
TNever thought about setting a minimum, gonna have to try that. I have games I routinely hit 99% but CPU isn’t close. I feel like that’ll be most games with the Go though.
AAim trying to make sense of this
Aso you still have all the normal stuff, you just disable the boost
SDoes that mean you can toggle it in active mode?
AI think it should, that's what i've been waiting for before re-adding CPU boost controls to SimpleDeckyTDP
Aim building it now, prob @Kyle Gospo and @Jan can drop a build to testing
Apatch is here
Tchecking this out.
Tlooks amazing
