AMD Linux Graphics Driver To Switch To More Aggressive Power Heuristics By Default
It looks like for the upcoming Linux 6.13 kernel cycle there could be a nice performance boost for AMD Radeon discrete graphics cards with the AMDGPU kernel driver poised to set more aggressive power heuristics by default.
A change queued up last week by AMDGPU driver maintainer Alex Deucher will now default to the fullscreen 3D workload profile for discrete GPUs. So barring any changes, this patch for applying the full-screen 3D power profile by default for AMD discrete GPUs will likely be merged for the Linux 6.13 kernel.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
