    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).

    > May i ask what driver features are you missing?

    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).

  • How do I underclock my 7800 xt on arch linux?
    1 project | /r/linux_gaming | 17 Nov 2023
    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

    > The AMD experience on Linux is vastly better than the Nvidia one.

    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.

  • AMD really need to fix this. (7900 XTX vs 4080 power consumption)

    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

bashtop - Linux/OSX/FreeBSD resource monitor

gamemode - Optimise Linux system performance on demand

Netdata - The open-source observability platform everyone needs

tuxclocker - Qt overclocking tool for GNU/Linux

bottom - Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.
