Linux

Are you sure vsync is disabled? It looks like you're getting a very consistent 144fps.

I personally keep vsync enabled, but you should absolutely disable it if you're testing your hardware since it forces the fps to never exceed you monitor's refresh rate.

As for throttling, it's only useful as a diagnosis tool. First and foremost you should be finding other people's benchmarks of your hardware (cpu/gpu) and running those benchmarks yourself at the same settings. Phoronix is a great resource for Linux benchmarks.

I'm not familiar with that program. How does it determine "throttling"?

A few things stand out to me in your screenshot.

It lists the GPU as consuming 0W, which is likely not true. Based on that, the power / current limit reason is probably inaccurate

Your temperatures are both well below TJ Max for those components, so I don’t see the Temp limit reason as valid either.

Your GPU utilization is at around 50%, but I also see your framerate at an even 144 - I would surmise that you have vsync enabled.

I can answer this this is what you want it means you already pushing your card to its max and is limited by the power limit of the card. So if your wattage matches your cards rating then you are good.

You may need to fix mango hub in order to see the wattage on your gpu.

NVIDIA has issues reporting correctly so you may need to check in the Nvidia control panel to get the wattage.

not familiar with the specific app you're using. am I reading that right, that you're throttling on power, current and temp?

if so, there's not much you can do. but if it's just temp throttling, you can get better fans/cooling.

if you're already satisfied with fans/cooling, then yes, you're pretty much using it to it's max.

to be clear: throttling on power and current means you're getting as much as you can out of the hardware you have (without over clocking or similar). although, make sure your CPU governor is 'performance'.

throttling on temperature alone means you're not getting the most out of you're hardware that is technically possible, it means you're hitting the thermal TDP of the system. for some systems (laptops, generally), there's not much you can do there. but for others, you can tinker with cooling.

1. Do you have any power profile manager installed?
2. Check if the amd pstate module is loaded: lsmod | grep pstate
3. What distro and kernel are you running?
