I've performed measurements with turbostat (kernel 5.13) With new thermald ("bad" game performance): GFXAMHz: 400, PgkWatt: 16.56, CorWatt: 7.34, GFXWatt: 3.88 With old thermald (good performance): GFXAMhz: 650, PkgWatt: 14.86 CorWatt: 3.81, GFXWatt: 4.45
About game mode daemon: I have gamemode installed but I'm not sure whether it is actually used. I remind that have it installed just in case, but I heard about this program (it is useful for AMD CPUs with discrete GPUs to set "performance" CPU governor during playing) It could be a good idea to utilize it, however I have a concern that most of "typical users" who want to play on their laptops don't know about this program. ** Attachment added: "with new thermald" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1944389/+attachment/5531775/+files/new.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1944389 Title: Thermald 1.9.1-1ubuntu0.6 keeps Tigerlake GPU frequency on 400 MHz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1944389/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
