Hey everyone, I recently made a post about a new PC build. I was successful in building the PC. The specs are: ryzen 7 7800x3d and an 4070 ti super, 32 gigs of ddr5 ram, with an 850 watt PSU. I have booted up a couple games and have configured mango hud to make sure I'm getting the right performance. As far as I can tell, everything is running as it should. But, if you look at the picture provided, mangohud is showing that I'm currently throttling in power and temps. But looking at the above numbers I don't see how I'm throttling. Out of the games I've tested, black myth wukong, Hogwarts and silent hill 2 show I'm throttling. However, dead space remake, shadow of the tomb raider and ghost of Tsushima don't show im throttling. I'm confused by this and am wondering if it's a bug in mangohud?
EDIT: I'm on Linux mint. Kernal 6.8.0-52 EDIT2: doing some more research, I found this post https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/13z1ov1/how_do_i_resolve_throttling_power_issue/
Which says that the throttling is actually what I should expect and it shows I'm getting the most out of my PC. So maybe I misunderstood
EDIT 3: looking at the config file for mango hud, it says : display GPU throttling status based on power, current, temp or "other". It seems to me that, this popu up appears if you have any 1 of those conditions.
I'm not sure. This is my first time using amd. I'm using linux mint on kernel 6.8.0-52. I typed in that command and nothing happened.
You're on an older kernel, so it's hard to tell what exactly is managing your frequency scaling.
Have a look here for a quick primer: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=420899
I have the same cpu as OP, same os and kernel, and it works just fine. the kernel isn't so old it would matter at all, but xanmod works great and is at 6.12. I suppose they could also install a newer one from mainline too but it just always fails to install.
I would avoid manual fiddling like on the forum you linked, just for getting mangohud to report properly. looks a lot like something I would do and then 7 minutes later be reinstalling the OS 😅
