Why is governor missing from latest sys-clk-oc? #46

Open VorgonBattlecruiser opened 9 months ago

VorgonBattlecruiser commented 9 months ago

Before version 1.9.0 there was an option to have the game use only as much resources as it needed to reach the max fps. That feature was really great to save power and now seems to be gone? At least i cant find or the "misc. settings" page.

are you talking about governor?

  1. sys-clk-oc has been reworked based on the new sys-clk, so i need to reimplement functionalities. i will bring back those features. but it will take some time
  2. because of HOS limitations, governor is bad emulation, and can possibly causes worse performance and worse battery life.

Yes, thats it! I used to use the governor all the time. Really love that feature. Can you please bring it back?

hanai3Bi commented 9 months ago

because of HOS limitations, governor cannot be implemented properly, so it will have bad latency, which makes it not set clocks very well, which causes worse performance or worse power savings.

this is why i decided to remove it while renewaling sys-clk-oc.

but since lot of users ask for this, i will just provide fixed old version. but this will not be maintained and may stop working in future OC Suite releases

thank you!

hanai3Bi commented 9 months ago

i will fix old sys-clk-oc to work with HOS 17, and then post it in discussions

hello, is the HOS 17-compatible sys-clk-oc with governor available? I searched for it in discussions but found nothing. I loved the governor feature and I really appreciate your work here sir.
