<pre>Hi, I made some tests, I discovered that my R9 390X works very well if I never
load the "auto" `power_dpm_force_performance_level` profile, both "low" and
"high" works. Also, both `power_dpm_state` "balanced", "battery", "performance"
works.
So, I wrote a little systemd service that load the "low/battery" profile at
startup (just before multi-user.target so it's loaded before the login manager
startup.
I discovered I can switch `power_dpm_force_performance_level` profile to the
value I want and the same for `power_dpm_state` without any crashing, even when
an heavy task (like Unigine Valley Benchmark) is running.
The fault is on the "auto" `power_dpm_force_performance_level` profile, and
only that. All other options work.
If you want to workaround the bug, you can use my service:
<a href="https://github.com/illwieckz/dpm-query/">https://github.com/illwieckz/dpm-query/</a>
Just install the service (it will load "low/battery" DPM profile at startup),
then use the `dpm-query` tool to set "high/performance" DPM profile when you
need it.</pre>
