Summary: power_profile auto consumes more power than power_profile high Product: DRI Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: Henning.Fleddermann@gmx.net
Created an attachment (id=36247) --> (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=36247) my x1900xt's bios
Kernel 2.6.35-rc3, Xorg-Server 1.8.1, xf86-video-ati 6.13.0 For some weird reason my system consumes ~15W more when I set the power_profile to auto, compared to all other power-profiles (low, default and high all consume the same amount of power). I measured this with a powermeter. "cat /debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info" always says: default engine clock: 500000 kHz current engine clock: 499500 kHz default memory clock: 600000 kHz current memory clock: 594000 kHz PCIE lanes: 0 No matter which power_profile I select. My card is a ATi X1900XT. dileX_ on #radeon suggested that I attach my video-card bios, so I'll do that.
