--- Comment #8 from revealed revealed@freakmail.de 2011-10-11 14:21:46 PDT --- Basically i remember that when i initially read the first time about powermanagement on radeon for linux, that i read on a forum like phoronix.
At that time it sounded somehow in this article that until now not supported cards get set to something like a emergency value that prohibits the core from melting basically until the values can be set to the intended values by default with further developement.
Somehow something like a matrix on radeon wiki would be cool. If it would tell:
R580 cards like mine: (Usually two powerstates (default) and (overclocked) overclocking not implemented yet.) (No: Dynamic Low Mid High Automatic).
So if this now is default and inteded. I can and should just forget that.
Better would be underclocking. But i think i lack of skill doing this. :) I would love that be sure.
Many thanks for your resolution!
