Performance issues on bazzite-deck (htpc) with AMD RX 7600 GPU and Ryzen 5700X CPU
I installed the bazzite image you get when you select HTPC, AMD on the website (bazzite-deck) and I get atrocious performance issues in games. Everything runs at very low fps and is choppy, even stuff that should run flawlessly (tried a few older games at 720p, low settings etc). Running the regular desktop version of Bazzite on this system works fine, as does other distros, windows etc.
Initially I thought it might be the tdp limit issues (https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/320), but I checked and the tdpfix service is running, permission is 644 as it should be and the power limit for the card is set correctly (130w).
If I turn on the performance overlay (see attached image) I see the GPU usage barely ever goes above 50%, and the frequency hovers around a much lower number that it should be at (1720mhz base clock, 2250 MHz 'game' clock) and the power was fluctuating between 20-50w so this does look like some kind of throttling behaviour. CPU and GPU temps are pretty low.
During the first boot setup of bazzite I was seeing a 'you have low battery' warning despite this being a desktop powered by wall power - is this maybe a power mode thing? Throttling because it thinks the system is running on battery?
