KEY VS corectrl

I have gone through many small projects such as a P2P "airdrop-like" file sharing between PCs, a simple filehosting service with access management (in pair with my friend), GTK GUI for Ventoy.org before there was an official one, AI-powered webcam filter for linux allowing to shift viewframe of the camera to always center on your face, an Ubuntu remix with flatpaks instead of snaps (over 100 upvotes on r/linux, lol), and a number of not very linux related open hardware projects: a raspberry PI Compute Module 4 carrier board, a tiny implementation of raspberry pi foundation's micro-controller rp2040, as well as a 80% keyboard (which turned out to be kinda bad tbh)

Have you tried CoreCtrl [0]?

I have a 7900XTX and performance under Linux has been at least on par with Windows, sometimes better (though not by much).

I'm not GP but I'd love to see frame gen and stuff like anti-lag and upscaling integrated into amdgpu with some sort of official way of setting it (though looking at Adrenaline it might actually be best if it's left up to the community to create the GUIs).

Basically the 7800 xt has this bug where I need to lower the core clock of -80mhz to avoid it crashing with 2 different hdmi/vga monitors or something. On windows no problems, but what about arch linux? How do I lower it? Looks like corectrl doesn´t support 7000 series gpus (from what I understood), please help yall!

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Reboot your system. You should have more controls when you select Advanced as Performance mode. https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/wikis/Setup

I just wish we had an equivalent of AMD Software on Linux, so I could mess around with the settings more.

For example, I like to limit the GPU to 50-75% of it's total power for ambient heat/cooling reasons, or UPS/PSU/electricity bill reasons when specific games make it hard to cap framerates.

With AMD Software on Windows, it's no big deal. On Linux, the best I found was CoreCtrl: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl

Sadly, it doesn't seem to work all that well for my use case, which I mentioned in my blog post when using Linux instead of Windows as my daily driver at home too: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/a-week-of-linux-instead-of-...

> You see, by default the card controls its own GPU and memory clock values, which means that when idle the GPU draws around 40 W of power. However, if I want to set a limit for how much W in total it can use, it also makes me set the GPU and memory clock values, which will them be fixed: so at idle the GPU will use about 60 W of power.

If you set it to POWER_SAVING instead of 3D_FULL_SCREEN, it uses the highest boost clock a lot less. Or if you use something like corectrl's application profiles (maybe the Windows vendor driver control panel has them?), you can selectively disable boost clock states in specific games.

I'm bias toward Asus motherboards. I have an "Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II" and a "Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) ATX". Both boards have a fan control feature in the BIOS/EFI. On the Windows side both boards come with Ai Suite 3 software. On the Linux side you might want to take a look at Corectrl ==> https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl

I think CoreCtrl might offer some of what you're looking for.
