TDP dedicated GPU #838

Open eduard-hdt opened 6 months ago

eduard-hdt commented 6 months ago

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to control or limit the TDP for a dedicated GPU in ChimeraOS. I did not find anything when checking out decky plugins or other settings. For me it is a RX5700XT. On other distros before I managed to get it done with corectrl and adding the boot parameter required to unlock full gpu control. For one I don't know how to do it on Chimera OS and for two I would not want to do that if not necessary. Is there a way or is it worked on already in some project or plug-in? Thanks in advance

I see it was mentioned in Issue #522 already earlier this year. There adding the boot parameter required for corectrl was discussed and the addition of TDP control for GPUs to ChimeraOS was suggested. However I will wait for some response regarding projects that try to implement this without having the user messing with the system (the whole idea of ChimeraOS)

dGPU's (via the AMDGPU Driver) require the feature mask to be set in order to adjust the clock settings. If we do create a native tool we will just set that by default but for now the best way would be to set it yourself after each upgrade and use a systemd service to set your preferred clocks. Look at the systemd-boot documentation for info on how to set boot parameters.
