Huh interesting. Are these displays all the exact same model?

There’s a relatively new feature in the amd gfx display abstraction layer called freesync power optimisation. This feature leverages panel VRR to help mclk idle low. This was introduced for single display use with RDNA 2, and expanded to dual display along with RDNA3s MALL advancements. I’m not sure if this is expanded further with RDNA 4 but I can try to find out.

huh, I generally expect Vega10 based GPUs to idle at ~3W TGP (not inclusive of other board power losses like VRM). Can you tell us what you display setup is? Can you get a reading of your idle mclk using something like CoreCtrl?

video playback will likely kick the asic out of idle. What’s your power use at true desktop idle?

Generally speaking, vega 10 (56, 64) and 20 (radeon vii) are able to achieve decently low desktop idle with varied display configs due to the memory technology they employ.

Can you tell us which distro and display config this is with?

I’m also in 3D_FULLSCREEN on NV21XT but my idle mclk is 96 MHz. TGP (not to be confused with TBP which is only communicated on RDNA 3 and up) is 6 watts at idle with my browsers open. GNOME 47 + Wayland, 2560 x 1440 @ 180Hz + 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz, VRR enabled on both displays. This is with Fedora 41, kernel 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64

For context, the GPU index (0,1,2 etc) will depend on the number of video adapters you have in the system. If you have a CPU with integrated graphics, there’s a chance this will be registered as 0000 whereas the dGPU will be 0001.

sick one. Thank you for your efforts.

Ah right. Appreciate the info!

Oh right. When I first heard about Lemmy, I tried to join .ml because it was the first instance I was made aware of. I think it was being rate limited at the time due to that whole reddit exodus thing, and I wasn’t able to get through, but. .world let me sign up so here I am.

I’d like to think that members of a given instance have their own opinions. It’s sad to hear about how territorial lemmy is.

I’m not familiar with the first subreddit, what was that about?

Appreciate the explanation. I’ve seen some remarks about the instance in passing, I’ve just never paid close enough attention to how communities have interacted with each other in the past.

What’s the story with this place?

That’s on me. I come here for tech and cute stuff and it’s easy for me to miss announcements pinned at the top 😓

Sorry I’m not sure if it was reverted; I was completely unaware of it even being proposed.

fucking hell the amount of effort that would take on popular communities is insane. Was totally unaware of this policy change.

OLED is practically contingent on HDR colour space for optimal experience. You wouldn’t want to limit yourself to SDR on that type of display.

Iirc, Acton donated to signal, they didn’t go on to make it as an alternative. Signal existed long before he left, and even longer ago as open whisper systems’ TextSexure, which was a means of SMS / MMS encryption.

OWS was founded by moxie back in 2013

I’ve had situations like this with my notebook where it would appear to do nothing from the GUI when clicked. It was because I didn’t have power connected, and I think gnome software has since been updated to reflect this.

Assuming you were connected to power, I’m not sure but it may be worth reporting as a bug to gnome-software?

FWIW, your UEFI is generally likely to reset with significant hardware changes (system memory, CPU). It’s generally fine with video card, disk and power supply swaps so long as it doesn’t boot into a stop code as a result.

Which index were these disks arranged in? Windows will install its bootloader on 0 regardless of where you physically install the OS.

I like to keep OS disks self contained, and tend to completely remove other connected disks when conducting a new install. This is a must for Windows, I’ve not had a Linux distro place it’s bootloader in anything other than the OS destination.

Maybe it was some sort of federation issue?

I love it when people fully out themselves like this haha
