It was sad seeing AMDGPU limit undervolting semi-recently. A couple complaints or bits of damage ruined a practice that a lot of people were using just fine to save significsnt wattage, https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-Lower-Power-Limit
However, this is not good as it remove under-powering range too far. I was getting only about 7% less performance but 90W(!) less consumption when set to my 115W before. Also I wonder if we as a OS of options and freedom have to stick to such very high reference for min values without ability to override them through some sys ctrls. Commit was done by amd guy and I wonder if because of maybe this post that I made few months ago(business strategy?)
But this is how AMD, Intel and Nvidia have been pushing performance improvements to consumers every generation. To quote Darth Sidious: "UNLIMITED POWER!"
Of course, it's possible that the lower limit has always been there for nvidia, but I just didn't know because I went without a dedicated video card for like 4 years.
For AMD aren't the drivers (partially) open source? Can't the change be reverted?
