Slowly, but yes :).

But so far, setting the max_frequency manually is the only way to control
this. This will make your card run on the slowest frequency at all time and
in theory should improve the power consumption.

But meanwhile, for better understanding what is going on with your machine,
could you setup some thermal sensors and check what do they say about
temperature? And also check with powertop about what is using the most
power out there?
