Bug ID: 206309 Summary: Experimental amdgpu w/ Dell E6540 with HD 8790M (MARS XTX), massive performance improvement after ACPI suspend Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 5.4.12-200.fc31.x86_64 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: changhaitravis@gmail.com Regression: No
Hi, I have a Dell E6540 with HD 8790M (MARS XTX) I also have the `radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1` kernel flags set to enable experimental amdgpu support.
I run games such as Insurgency, Tomb Raider (2013), Talos Principle, and Half-Life 2 Episode 1 from it with the `DRI_PRIME=1` env variable.
On all of these games, they seem to perform underwhelmingly (under 30fps for most games), until I suspend the computer and wake it from suspension. (This even works while in game).
Here are some things I've noticed: 1. setting the `amdgpu.dpm=0` kernel flag makes it so that suspending the computer and waking it up DOES NOT double/triple the gaming graphics performance like it usually does. 2. setting `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level` or `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_state` before having suspended the computer does not noticeably impact performance. 3. If I reboot the computer after having suspended it, instead of shutting down or hibernating, it seems to at least sometime hold on to its gaming graphics performance so that I don't need to suspend the computer once more while playing a game. 4. This suspend-wakeup performance improvement does not seem reproducible on RadeonSI (`radeon.si_support=1`), although I can't tell if it's lower performance or higher, since it'll perform well in Half-Life 2, but closer to the reduced (pre-suspend) performance state in many other games. 5. Wayland or X11 makes no difference. 6. Games using the Intel IGP are not affected by suspend + wake.
In the below Log's dmesg, I suspend and wake up the computer at ~1588
