Feature Request: Option to slowly increment gpu settings, specifically memory clock #41

Open Iggyboo opened 10 years ago

Iggyboo commented 10 years ago

I've found that some of my GPUs (r9 290s) will run at a higher memory clock but will crash instantly if it is set that way from the start. If, however, I set them to be 100MHz lower than that, give them a few minutes at that rate, then up them to the higher clock, they work perfectly. It's a pretty specific issue and all else works; so, not a big deal. Also, I was thinking that this could be beneficial for PSUs as well. This way the power load could be more controlled and increased instead of spiking all at once. Might save a few PSUs. Just an idea.

As an extension, I've run into similar issues with intensity, so it may be beneficial there as well.

I have same issue with 290 cards.

Iggyboo commented 10 years ago

That's what my cards are. :-) I'm actually wondering if there might be a way to control this via the api but I haven't had the chance to dig into it, yet. On Feb 4, 2014 3:15 AM, "Siim Raud" notifications@github.com wrote:

I think those settings are API-controllable, you could then write an external program to ramp up the stuff slowly

Why not add an option to increase/decrease using arrow keys?
