Scripts to manage various aspects of the AMD line of cards in Linux.

vega-power-control notes

Set AMD Vega clock/voltage/profile settings:

• Reduce temps
• Increase performance
• Increase longevity of card

I've set this to some sane defaults that I know work on my card (Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 64). The cooler isn't the best on the reference card, but these settings keep the speeds in the 1500Mhz to 1600Mhz range. You may need to tweak your particular card more to get decent performance.

You can use this script to overclock your card as well. Adjust the p-state clock and voltage to get higher clocks if you'd like. Be forwarned, you can damage your card though. Be judicious with how far you overclock.

You can now adjust your POWERCAP for your card. It requires kernel 4.20+. To enable the feature, simply set $POWERCAP = 1. You can set the wattage in the example in the main body:

  # To set the allowed maximum power consumption of the GPU to e.g. 220 Watts (Default wattage):
  echo 220000000 > "$SYSPATH/$HWMONPATH/power1_cap"

It's currently set the card default, this may need more checks if more cards are introduced at a later time.

Profiles have now been implemented. By default, the script is set auto and the profile is set to balanced (DEFAULTDPMSTATE is there for legacy support only). This can easily be adjusted by adjusting the values for DEFAULTDPMSTATE and DEFAULTDPMPERFLVL. The different profile options are described in the docs.

NOTES:

• To get live metrics of the card while testing:

  watch -n 1 sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info

• You need to add the amdgpu.ppfeaturemask on the GRUB_CMDLINE and regenerate the config file. Edit the following line in Ubuntu:

  /etc/default/grub

  and modify the following line:

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff"

  with the following argument:

  amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff

  Then run:

  sudo update-grub

• Verify the configuration after reboot, it should match what you used:

  printf "0x%08x\n" $(cat /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask)

• You can check the currently loaded settings by running the following:

  SYSPATH=$(awk '{print}' <<< `find /sys/devices -name power_dpm_force_performance_level -type f -exec dirname {} \;`)
  cat $SYSPATH/pp_od_clk_voltage
  

Command format:

• echo "[s|m] p-state clock voltage" > "$SYSPATH/pp_od_clk_voltage"
• echo "r" > $SYSPATH/pp_od_clk_voltage to restore the default values
• echo "c" > $SYSPATH/pp_od_clk_voltage to commit the changes

vega-fan-control notes

Script to set AMD card fan curves.

NOTES:

To adjust the FANRPM, simply edit the following block in the script to the desired RPM for each temperature range.

 if [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "20" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "24" ]; then
    FANRPM=400
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "25" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "29" ]; then
    FANRPM=600
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "30" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "34" ]; then
    FANRPM=800
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "35" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "39" ]; then
    FANRPM=1200
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "40" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "44" ]; then
    FANRPM=1600
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "44" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "49" ]; then
    FANRPM=1800
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "50" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "54" ]; then
    FANRPM=2000
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "55" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "59" ]; then
    FANRPM=2200
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "60" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "64" ]; then
    FANRPM=2400
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "65" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "69" ]; then
    FANRPM=2600
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "70" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "74" ]; then
    FANRPM=2800
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "75" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "79" ]; then
    FANRPM=3000
 elif [ "$GPUTEMP" -ge "80" ] && [ "$GPUTEMP" -le "86" ]; then
    FANRPM=3200
 fi

To watch temperatures, simply enable DEBUG in the script if running it manually. You can also watch the temps via sysfs and use the following command:

    SYSPATH=$(awk '{print}' <<< `find /sys/devices -name power_dpm_force_performance_level -type f -exec dirname {} \;`)
    watch -t -n 1 "awk '{print \$1/(1000)}' $SYSPATH/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input && cat $SYSPATH/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_target"
