Quote: | n Powerstate 2 i get
Core: 418.50 MHz, Mem: 364.50 MHz |
Same for me here, got an X600 Mobility.
Code: | aticonfig --list-powerstates
core/mem [flags]
-----------------
* 1: 105/122 MHz [low voltage]
2: 209/182 MHz [low voltage]
3: 392/250 MHz [overdrive, default state] |
Changing the frequencies with rovlock in powerstates 1 or 2 doesn't seem to have any effect on power consumption at all. No matter what I do, I always get the same ~1220 mA current drawn from my battery (state 1). Only if I go to low with the frequency, I get a system hang. Maybe it's insignificant then, in undervolted state frequency doesn't matter too much.
ATI's PowerPlay not only undervolts and underclocks, if you have PCI express, it also disables PCI-lanes (at least windows drivers do so). I've read that the 16 lanes PCIexpress in normal state provides consume something around 6-7W (!). 6 W@12V -> 200mA extra current ... and somehow this number was familiar to me. I've noticed a strange fluctuation in power consumption, sometimes the current my notebook needs switches down to ~1000mA ... compared to the number above, this could just be my PCIexpress. I never noticed any change in system performance this fluctuation was related to, nor did I switch off any components, nor was it related to harddisk or fan activity. The only noticeable thing was some extra heat.
Could it be that switching off PCI lanes is somehow "unstable"? And something tries to re-enable them? Where can I find system information about my PCI express? _________________ Treffen sich zwei Planeten.

It works well also with my R9200:
stock frequency: 250/200 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 1365
underclock: 100/150 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 776
underclock: 200/150 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 1000
Some artifact due maybe to GPU to much clocked vs memory
overclock: 250/250 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 1620
overclock: 280/280 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 1830
overclock: 280/300 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 1910
overclock: 290/300 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 1940
aiming for 2000:
overclock: 280/330 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 2020
a lot of artifacts
Just to have more data for charts:
underclock: 190/200 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 1260
Let's see how much low we can go:
underclock: 50/120 (GPU/mem)
a lot of artifacts, no glxgears. Same artifacts with 100/120
underclock: 50/150 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 450, artifacts only with glxgears
underclock: 80/150 (GPU/mem)
glxgears: 675. No artifacts.
140 for memory is to low (artifacts)
I think that i will leave it underclock (hey, its 32°C now, at 8pm, and no conditioning in my house).
Thanks for your programming skill proof

To make it permanent, just write an initscript or put the command into /etc/conf.d/local.start _________________ Compress portage tree

I have the command in my local.start which works until I start X, then the default clocks are loaded. Anyone know why this would happen? |

I have done this:
Created an executable file in /etc/init.d named rovclock with the contents:
Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
start() {
rovclock -c 340 -m 250
}
stop(){
rovclock -c 310 -m 190
} |
This is form my card, change the values to fit your needs.
Then do this:
Code: |
rc-update add rovclock default |
And it should work (at least works for me...) |

I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 in my laptop, ChipID 0x4C57, with 32MB shared RAM. Compaq crippled the BIOS in this thing, so I can't change the amount of RAM shared to video without doubling the amount of RAM in the computer. I haven't been able to find a decent group of settings for overclocking this video card. Can anyone share their wisdom on this?

I believe the output of lspci does not rely on the kernel, but on /usr/share/misc/pci.ids |

Got all my timings/etc. figured out. Just in case anyone else needs the info for a Radeon Mobility M7 7500 card (yes, I know it's pretty old, but...):
Code: | UberPinguin ubrpngn # rovclock -i
Radeon overclock 0.6e by Hasw (hasw@hasw.net)
Found ATI card on 01:00, device id: 0x4c57
I/O base address: 0x3000

This gives me a great performance boost with (so far) good stability. Tweaking beyond this results in artifacts, distortion, loss of performance, and sometimes even rebooting. I've gone from ~647fps to ~1018 in glxgears and can now use compositing without worry. Yay! _________________

Your best bet is to increment each setting slowly, testing along the way. Keep an eye on temperature and stability, and scale back a little when they get out of hand. |

rovclock seems to affect only the first one:

But I'm basing this only its display of the first card in the lspci. Anyone know how this affects cards like this with multi-screen outputs? The firemv2400 is a 4 head card. |

Is this program still being developed? I could use it with my ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4330.
Is this the official place for discussing this program?
I think it does not fully recognize my card:

I also tried -x 1432 and 2950.
The bus frequencies are not shown. Can I do this with the open radeon driver or do I need to use fglrx? |
