Dear devs of MESA, first of all thanks for your amazing work! I recently bought my first AMD GPU with a 9070xt and recognized the=20 lowest VRAM clock achieved on my system is 192MHz in an idle state. This=20 leads to a VRAM temperature in idle (i have a good airflow in my case)=20 of ~58=C2=B0C and an idle power consumption (per Driver) of 15-20W. The lowest VRAM clock in the lowest power state in the LACT tool is also=20 192MHz. So i think my system reaches the lowest power state. In LACT,=20 the only thing i have done is reducing the max power draw. On the same machine on Windows with the AMD driver 25.12.1 however, i=20 tested the idle behavior and i see much lower VRAM clock speeds,=20 resulting in a power draw of 3-8W and therefore the VRAM temp is <45=C2=B0C= =2E So ideally, on my Linux system, i would see the VRAM clock down more to=20 save some power and give the VRAM some "winter" :-) Description of my sytem: - Distro CachyOS on Kernel linux-cachyos 6.18.6-2 - DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.5 - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - GPU: AMD Radeon 9070xt - Monitor Acer VG270UP 2540x1440 @ 144Hz If you need any more information, please let me know.
