--- Comment #8 from Witold Baryluk <witold.baryluk+freedesktop at gmail.com> ---
My random guess is that it is due to some bug in calculating gpu_busy_percent
possibly, or SCLK_{UP,DOWN}_HYST parameters:

Here is a dump of various values, when running Talos:

The default pp_power_profile_mode was 1 (3D_FULL_SCREEN). I switched it just
now to 5 (COMPUTE), but results are the same.

The gpu_busy_percent switches every second between something close to 0 and
something close to 100. Despite the game constantly submitting the work and
rendering at ~200 FPS.

The pp_dpm_sclk starts high and slowly goes down step by step, and eventually
goes back to 7 (1050MHz), and process repeats.

I tried doing:

echo "7" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_sclk
echo "manual" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level

and I see no differences, still same effect.
